"It is in your nature to
destroy yourselves." The T-800 Terminator
Why watch this? Cameron delivers an incredible sequel using
ground-breaking
effects, a buffed-up Linda Hamilton, and a flipped narrative.
Plot Summary:
A reprogrammed cyborg is sent back in time to protect a young
John Connor from an advanced, shape-shifting Terminator designed
to eliminate him. John and his mother Sarah join forces with the
protector to prevent the coming nuclear apocalypse by destroying
the technology that creates Skynet. Together, they must combat
the relentless new threat while fighting to change the future
and ensure human survival.

Dad's Preview:
This sequel is bigger and bolder than the original. Still desperate to
win the battle, the future's
machines send another Terminator - this one more lethal and
advanced than the original. Humankind sends back a T-800 Terminator (similar
to the original
film's cyborg), only it has been re-programmed to protect Sarah
and John
at all costs. This has all
the cool ass elements of the original film, yet it's characters are
more fully explored, and it's message is more poignant. Linda
Hamilton flexes (literally) her acting muscles and
newcomer Edward
Furlong shines her son, the young John Connor. |
