Review Summaries
"John Conner will be a resistance leader in the future, fighting the evil robots. That's why the robots send one of their own into the past to kill him as a little kid. But the resistance leaders send a less advanced robot looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop the more advanced robot. This is a tough assignment for Arnold because the advanced robot, the T-1000, is impervious to most sorts of harm--bullets can pass through its liquid metal shape. A great movie, an ok book."
Steve, Resident Randall Frakes Scholar
