They did it

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2003)

When i first heard that the third installment of the Terminator series was without James Cameron, and Linda Hamilton i wasnt expecting much of a installment.The first two films are both science fiction classics, and it is hard to match that. The movie is about John Conner(Stahl)who is living in complete isolation or "off the grid" as he calls it. Who ends up in a weird way reuniting with an old friend Kate Brewster(Danes). Soon after there meeting Kate an John find themselves in a race for there lives aganist the TX(Lokken), who is the most advanced killing machine yet, however help is not far off. The T-800(ah-nold) soon comes in an saves the day. Now with the verge of skynet taking over John, Kate, and Terminator must try an stop Judgement Day(again). The movie is filled with wall to wall action, with a chase seen like none you have ever seen. The acting is very good all around. Nick Stahl does a good job of a young man having trouble accepting his fate, Clare Danes does an excellent job of the girl who at first is lost an scared but turns out to be a kick ass help. Arnold is still very effective at being the buffed up Terminator, An Kristanna Lokken does a good job as the very lethal TX. James Cameron's direction is missed, but Jonathan Mostow does a fine job of handling it. All in all T3 measures up to be a worthy entry in the Terminator franchise, what i thought would be crap turned out to be a good action film that doesnt miss a beat. ***/****
