A cult action movie for all time Having and reading a book about the second appearance of the legendary Terminator in our world was a requirement for me from myself. You bet. A gorgeous movie that I've loved since childhood, a great story that continues the first one. After that, I really wanted to read Freix's work. It must be said that the book is as close as possible to the events described in the James Cameron film. There are practically no digressions here. There are, however, some sluggish attempts by the author to describe several episodic characters, their inner world and experiences. Although, given the fact that they carry practically no load for the plot, such attempts seem somewhat strange. But an author is an author, and he himself decided that it was necessary. The book is easy to read, here the motives of the main characters, their experiences, their missions are described in such a way that you immediately see the nerve of the whole story. When watching a movie, this effect was achieved for me by repeatedly reviewing the picture. The twist with the good and bad terminators is described somewhat sparsely in the book. When watching the movie, as I remember, it was a shock. There are 2 aspects here - you already know the story and understand that the hero of the T-800 has become good and this is not news to you, and the second point is too cardboard description of the scene. Well, I don't feel the nerve. You compare a book to a movie one way or another. There's no getting away from it. But the work on the pages is very worthy. I liked. At the time, it was from the book that I learned about many things that were not in the film. It's only later that you come across the director's version with inserts that weren't in the theatrical version, and you couldn't just see them. "Terminator 2" is a good book that will allow you to enjoy the amazing love story between mother and son. Here, the main character has changed a lot, which is repeatedly demonstrated by her actions. She is ready for anything for John, understands her role and even scolds the boy for trying to save her, risking his life. John suddenly realized that all the years of his life his mother had been telling the truth about a terrible future. And he believes that he owes her an apology by rescuing her from prison. Well, the Terminator, in the short time that he fulfilled his mission, learned to understand what people are by nature and thereby realizing this, became a bigger person than some representatives of the human race. These thoughts and conclusions do not let the reader go after the last page ends, they leave a warm trace in the soul and hope for a better future. After all, "if a robot, a machine has understood the value of human life, maybe one day we will also be able to understand..." 10 out of 10
