10 Best Sci-Fi Movie Villains
7. T-1000
T2 is a shining example of how to do a sequel right, as arguably the peak of the franchise and after the original stellar effort that is quite the feat.
How do you follow up Arnie's iconic, hulking unstoppable killing machine? It turns out with a glaring Robert Patrick that can turn to liquid.
The T-1000 had some mighty shoes to fill after the original Terminator had captivated audiences and helped propel Arnold to super-stardom, and boy were those shoes filled with a viscous silver liquid. Robert Patrick's Terminator is unerring and unflappable in his pursuit of John Connor and his demeanour is equally unshakeable.
Patrick's portrayal is brilliantly subdued and incredibly intimidating. The T-1000 is an unstoppable killing machine with a single purpose that he hunts down with every waking moment.
Arnie's Terminator was undeniably iconic and, set the scene for Robert Patrick's follow up effort to flaunt his shape-shifting visage, but Patrick somehow manages to make the step up. The T-1000 is an intimidating and seemingly unstoppable foe played with real vigour by Patrick.
