Review
The
lightning strikes, the ground melts, the smoke clears,
and a machine covered by skin fibers appears. We all know
this scene very well from the blockbuster hits The Terminator
and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. However, when news of
a third film being in the works surfaces doubt comes about
as well. Lucky, T3 goes on to hold up the Terminator story
line well, adding new twists and realizations to the plot.
As it slowly makes it's audience see that fact that destiny
is inevitable and while able to delay events, humanity
cannot avoid them, the story of T3 takes people on a wild
action ride of car chases, cyborg fights, and of course
lots of Arnold.
One
of the aspects of the film that took a bit of getting
use to was the fact that John Connor was played by a new
actor. In situations like this adjustments have to be
made since every actor bring his own edits to the character.
However, by the end of the film he had perfectly filled
the shoes of the savior of the world. Another negative
aspect was the fact that the film in less than two hours
long. While a plus for those annoyed with three hour epics,
in comparison to the nearly two and a half hour long T2,
the film did not have enough runaway to take off as a
full epic adventure.
The
conclusion is quiet unexpected and bring the entire story
full circle. Generally this film is a must see for Terminator
fans, and shouldn't be missed by other as well.
