10 Influential Sci-Fi Films That Inspire Tim Smit9 of 12
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
"James Cameron's unbelievably strong sequel to cinema staple The Terminator. T2 blends personal themes like parenthood, responsibility, paradoxical fate, and determinism into a terrific entertaining experience that has captivated me ever since I saw the movie when I was 8. If there is one person able to create an equal to the strong female lead of Ripley in James Cameron's Aliens, it would be James Cameron. He created a legendary character who carries the fate of the human race, fueled and symbolized by the love for her son. It is the strength of Sarah Conner vs. dystopian modernity represented by the Terminators. A stunning film that never grows old. Why is T2 and not T1 on this list? Liquid metal android. 'Nuff said."
