The cyborg who once tried to kill Sarah Connor is dead, and another T-101 must now protect her teenage son, John Connor, from an even more powerful and advanced Terminator, the T-1000. Spectacular action and ground-breaking visual effects in this high-budget sequel. Additions include a new T-1000 Terminator in the form of Patrick with Arnie the protector this time. A nice twist sees Hamilton almost become a terminator herself. Elongated finale is breathtaking.
