What is Terminator Zero about?
Terminator Zero takes place across two critical time periods: the war-torn future of 2022, where the last human survivors fight off an unending machine onslaught, and the pivotal year of 1997, when the artificial intelligence entity Skynet becomes self-aware and begins its war on humanity. The story follows Eiko, a soldier from the future, who is sent back to 1997 on a mission to protect Malcolm Lee, a scientist on the verge of creating an artificial intelligence system that could rival Skynet. As Malcolm grapples with the ethical implications of his work, he and his three children become the targets of a relentless Terminator sent to eliminate them.
In this dystopian future, The Prophet emerges as a beacon of hope, offering philosophical guidance to humanity and resistance fighters as they navigate a world shrouded in fear and uncertainty. Despite the dark themes, the animation promises to deliver a visually stunning experience, adding a vibrant layer to the series’ exploration of human resilience against artificial intelligence.
