Reviewers often compare the T2 theme to the original 1984 theme, noting that while the first was eerie and lo-fi, the T2 version is much more "epic" and tailored for large-scale action.

“The T2 theme is the one most people will probably say is the most iconic and best sounding one; and I think they're right. It's a huge, thundering, get-you-right-in-the-feels affair.” Reddit · r/Terminator · 1 year ago

: Some fans specifically recommend the track from Reese’s arrival scene as a unique alternative to the standard main theme. Community Feedback
