Johnnie 5 is alive!!

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2003)

Really enjoyed the movie. The look and feel of it are very much in the same vain as T2, the action almost relentless and some well placed humorous touches add to the enjoyment. One of the acid tests for a good action movie is a car chase. In this case the car/motorbike/crane chase was superbly well crafted and compares favourably with the freeway scenes in Matrix Reloaded and that movie's more sophisticated use of filming techniques. Definitely recommended, you could probably enjoy this without having seen the previous instalments. A note on the ending - I don't want to spoil it but the manner in which John Connor's destiny finally unfolds to become leader of the resistance is very clever. It was nice to see Number 5 from the Short Circuit movies as first generation Terminators in the Air Force development facility - shame it seems he has been type cast though. Finally, I have to say, despite her Swiss army knife functionality, the TX is nowhere near a match for the T-1000 from Judgement Day.
