SYNOPSIS: Speaking of Olivier Gruner, remember Nemesis? We'll he's
not in the sequel. In the future, SkyNet -- I mean, the
Cyborgs -- has taken over the world. A child is born to lead
the resistance but, fleeing the Cyborgs, Sarah Conner – I
mean, his mother -- flees into the past with him. But the
Cyborgs learn her location and, when the child is 20, send
the T1000 -- I mean, Nebula -- back in time to kill her. As
an added bonus, the film is set in East Africa. The first
30 minutes or so consist almost entirely of characters
speaking to each other in an East African language. Without
subtitles.

It's early in the movie, but the Nebula has the drop on the time travelers. It can't kill them, though, because it's unable to lock weapons. And why is it unable to do this? A little screen graphic explains: UNABLE TO LOCK WEAPONS. INTERFERENCE FROM GEOGRAPHY.
