James Cameron comments “T2 was made for theatres, and coming back to the big screen is the absolute best way to see the film. I believe it's safe to do spoilers after 35 years, so SPOILER ALERT: the good guys win against the AI superintelligence! And maybe that’s a message of hope we all could use this summer.”
