Not only was this sequel seamlessly woven with the other Terminator movies, it was very well acted (especially the characters of Kyle Reese and Marcus Wright), fun to watch and surprisingly moving. This very well may be the best Terminator movie in the series--not just because of the special effects and intense action, but the all-around story, which is packed with metaphors, paradoxes and morals. My only complaint is that this one didn't seem as scary as the others.
