"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:
The future leader of humanity, John Connor, faces a new threat
when a more advanced Terminator model is sent back in time to
eliminate him as a child. To counter this, a reprogrammed, older
model Terminator is also sent back, this time, to protect John.
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. Teenager Edward
Furlong shines as a young John Connor.
