T2 was slightly better as was AlienS and I'll go one better and flat out state that The Wrath of Kahn is the best of the Star Trek flicks.

The scene in T2 when Sarah Conner is field stripping an M-16 in a tank top might be the hottest non-sexual scene in any movie ever.

Terminator. No question.
Absolutely classic, dark, gritty sci-fi. That first film has such a wonderful feel and atmosphere. It’s like that raw demo tape by an awesome band that sounds so unique. T2 is the polished studio LP by comparison. It’s an excellent film and the extended version > theatrical version, but it was destined to be a good movie because the first film was such an achievement plus James Cameron. Gonna watch it tonight when I go to sleep now. |

For some reason, I don't remember liking T1. T2 was awesome.
Maybe I should watch T1 again just to see if I still don't like it. |

I hate you OP. Because I've contemplated this many times. And it's always tough. But I go with T1. Something about the feel of it. The rawness of everything. It felt like you were in it. But I love both of them. T2 is pure fireworks compared to T1, and I love T2. There is a reason T1 is near the top of the greatest sci-fi films ever made and has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (they got that one right). |

T1 was good only because of its unique story line. The budget was crap and you could really tell...
T2 was wayyy better. They were able to do what they wish they could have done with T1 now that they had a huge budget. One of the rare times the sequel was better than the original. |

By the way, T1 has something that T2 doesn't and it rhymes with rubies. |

I saw the first four Terminator films in theater.
I recall being really hyped to see T2, and it did not disappoint. T1, however, is by far my favorite. I was a Junior in high school, and saw it with my Dad, several weeks after it had been released, and there wasn't an empty seat in the house. The special effects were cutting-edge. I suspect those that think the effects are "just okay" were too young to have seen T1 in theaters. Everything before T1 was lame, in comparison. |

Both are great films.
I prefer The Terminator over T2 (slightly) because of its dark, apocalyptic atmosphere, and the relentless feeling of the T100, which was groundbreaking at the time. We sort of knew what to expect to a degree in T2. It's a close call though. Cameron has made some great films. |

Otherwise you end up with Michael Bay. 
T2 was great because it capitalized on the vision that made the first movie so groundbreaking. Anyway, I love them both. Watching T1 right now. Will be falling asleep soon. You all have a great night!

Last year you could have seen T2 3d in the theater. It was equally as good as seeing it in the theater when it first came out. I've seen it many times and still absolutely loved it.

First. The second is a commercial sell-out of the storyline. The timeline is fixed and unchangeable. Any attempt to change the past actually results in producing the original events

Both are great movies
I have to give the nod to T2 though, simply because of the action and special effects. Oh yea, and MINI GUN! |

T2 was my first date movie with my now-wife. I’d seen it twice in theaters (didn’t tell her) but she wanted to see it, and it’s an awesome movie, so off we went.
So I’m voting T2. |

Well, Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back had some pretty good special effects. Quote HistoryQuoted:
