Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines

TV, Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines (film, 2003)

I saw this at the cinema after seeing T2 not long before. I remember enjoying it at the time and thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'm too old to be impressed by special effects or maybe effects have moved on so much since then that already the action sequences feel just above functional, never quite reaching the peak of excitement. Too much swearing for a 12 too.

Kristanna Loken (she of 'being in an episode of 'Voyager'' fame), was okay. Arnie was the main reason to watch. He gave us some humour and did the ageing return thing well. But the other characters weren't all that engaging or felt like future freedom fighters. In a way it made me less excited about the soon to be released fourth film, as it had lost the tension of number two and become a typical action film. These days we want more depth I suppose.
