What a ride! What's more, it was unpredictable...

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2003)

Ok I ended up watching this movie on the big screen because I got carried away by the ratings posted here and there. Left on my own, I would not have watched this on big screen, perhaps just on VCD. I figured out that another Terminator sequel is destined to be an overkill and 'forced' extension of previous films, just like most other part >1's (there is Jurassic park, halloween, fast n furious, etc). The trailers didn't help, I just felt it'd be a corny try...
Anyways, now that I have watched it in fully glory, I'd say I was wrong. In terms of computer graphics, this film excelled. There was just too much action and graphics that at the start, I thought they would be distracting and that I have to consciously suspend disbelief from time to time throughout the show. Well that thinking is expected as long as we're still awake. However, the conscious suspension of disbelief soon fades away and you find yourself "in" the movie before you know it! It has grabbed you with its mammoth action scenes and stunning visuals and put you right at the heart of the movie where you have to say to yourself, watch out!
The story was decent and the concept was almost new. I won't expound on this lest I'll spoil your ride. :) Some of the intended jokes felt artificial though. The end was uplifting though bittersweet. Acting-wise, average. The sound effects were incredible, music just fine. A 3/4 for me. What a ride!
