Self - Driving Cars

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2006)

The problem is comparing this movie to the previous two . It doesn't quite match the impact of a James Cameron film . Did we really expect it would ? No.
Terminator 3 is a guilty pleasure . A film we don't admit we like but watch anyway . It has flaws everywhere you look . Which brings me to the main point of my diatribe .
Cars cannot take off and steer themselves . Even if a Super - Programmer was able to inject a bunch of Car - Code into a car's computer it still would be unable to depress the accelerator or turn the steering wheel unassisted . It simply lacks the motors and solenoids needed to perform these tasks . I've seen other movies since then rely on this non - existent feature to advance their dumb plot lines .
Maybe this whole movie exists in an alternate universe . But lacking that I resent a Director that injects this unbelievable scenario into a movie . There must be a suspension of disbelief in a movie . I am ready to accept a robot from the future that can do extraordinary things . I'm fully capable of believing any number of things . But it's insulting to my intelligence to make present day vehicles run off and attack another car simply because a robot sticks her Computerized Pinky in the circuit of a car's computer .
Am I nit - picking ?
Yes .
