Terminator 2 falls in the genre of sci-fi fantasy and is a sequel to the epic “the terminator “, James Cameron also directed aliens and that also falls into the genre of sci-fi fantasy, out of the list of films James Cameron has done I believe this is the best. Often films that fall into the science fiction genre include how machines can help mankind for the better. Other films that do this other terminator and terminator 2 are * Demolition Man * Blade Runner * Alien *The Terminator * Star Wars.
Titanic (1997) Strange Days (1995) True Lies (1994) Terminator 2 - Judgment Day(1991) The Abyss (1989) Aliens (1986) Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) The Terminator (1984) O Exterminator Do Futuro (1984) Piranha 2: The Spawning (1982) Escape From New York (1981)
This is all the films he has done and terminator is considered the best.
Some examples of conventions of science fiction movies are;

-
Audience)
In movies when a man vs machine comes up there are various terrifying facts and phases they use to make the human race less superior for example;
Terminator 2- “In three years Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned, Afterward, the fly with a perfect operational record”.

Time set
August 29, 1997 this is when the terminator 2 is set per pre-Holocaust it was made in 1991 believe that the THE CREATION OF TECHNOLOGY-BASED TEACHING/LEARNING, using technology in work places more and in schools, computers had become more advanced than before now where easier to use and widely available, now even these computers could take part in the creation of products in factories, all these things could have contributed towards the ideas James Cameron got for writing the “terminator 2”, sure the basic ideas were created in the film “the terminator” but there terminator has a far more complex storyline and goes further than anyone did before.
Target audience
I believe that the is 10-40 as the action scenes appeal to a male audience but especially the children. Terminator 2 was advertised with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his classic one liners. “I’ll be back”. Its classification was 15+ which was a shame as it appealed to many under fifth teens when they seen it to rent, but altering the film may have spoiled its quality.
