Although the cyborg assassin known as "the Terminator" (Arnold Schwarzenegger) was unsuccessful in its attempt to kill "Sarah Connor" (Linda Hamilton) in the last film, a new model called a "T-1000" (Robert Patrick) has since been built and sent back from the future with an entirely different target in mind--Linda's teenage son "John Connor" (Edward Furlong). This time, however, rather than sending a human to intercept this cyborg killing machine, the human resistance sends back a cyborg assassin of their own which has the exact same features of the one sent previously to kill Sarah Connor. But rather than performing its normal function as an assassin, this particular "Terminator" (played again by Arnold Schwarzenegger) has been reprogrammed to function as a bodyguard instead. The only question, however, is whether this obsolescent model is even capable of stopping the almost indestructible T-1000 from accomplishing its mission. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those rare sequels that turned out to be just as good--if not better--than its immediate predecessor. The CGI was better, and the action was just as intense. So, viewers who enjoy action movies should have no problem with this one. Admittedly, there were a couple of action scenes that were somewhat repetitious. But I suppose that's to be expected in a film of this sort. In any case, I enjoyed this film for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
