A very successful sequel

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2004)

Ten years ago, a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent to assassinate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) before her child can be born, who will one day be the leader of the human resistance against the machines. Now, Skynet (the machines) once again has sent T-1000 (Robert Patrick) to kill the young John Connor (Edward Furlong) so he will never become the fighter. Meanwhile, the human forces also sends a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to fight against T-1000, which is, in fact, more advance than the Terminator. Now Sarah Connor has to find the mastermind behind the plan about activating Skynet, and stop him from proceeding.
This sequel has lived up to viewers' expectations- it is very different from the original, and Sarah Connor has gone through an amazing transformation- changing from a sweet, innocent young woman into a tough fighter. Edward Furlong's debut is simply spectacular. The film contains loads of high-tech and exciting action scenes, which are well-presented. The movie doesn't repeat the original, which is good. All in all, a nicely-done sci-fi action flick. Too bad 'Terminator III' is far less powerful and doesn't provide anything new. Watch this one and the original.
