While many (understandably) prefer the road-trip pleasures of the sequel, Magic Mike XXL, I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the original. Magic MikeĬast: Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey Terminator 2: Judgment Day is streaming on Netflix. From its chase sequences and action set-pieces to its cutting-edge computer-animated special effects that still astound audiences to this day, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the undisputed peak of the franchise and requisite viewing for any lover of action cinema, sci-fi or otherwise. At once deepening the audience’s existing knowledge of the prior film’s universe and stakes and throwing a few iconic surprises in the mix, Judgment Day ratchets up the action while building a strong emotional storyline around its trio of protagonists as they race to prevent a deadly threat from the future from completing its terrifying mission of human extinction. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the platonic ideal of sci-fi tentpole sequels. Cameron’s greatest sequel, however, is the follow-up to his 1984 sci-fi action film The Terminator. Mind you, he’s only directed three sequels to date in his illustrious film career, but when one of those is a modern cinematic masterpiece ( Avatar: The Way of Water) and the other casts an indomitable shadow over the landscape of sci-fi horror video games ( Aliens), it’s fair to say he’s more than earned the title. James Cameron’s not just the “ king of the world,” he’s the undisputed king of movie sequels.
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick
