Just a low-quality thing...

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2004)

T2 was just a snotty family movie, but you must admit it was a high-quality snotty family movie. If somebody wanted to defile everything with a gloomy hopeless secondary concocted thing (and nobody had any doubt that it would be a gloomy hopeless secondary concocted thing), they could at least try and make a high-quality one. And what did we see? We are absolutely lost in time-travel and alternative universes. That's very good. If we were not lost, we would clearly see how stupid all this stuff is. I will kill you in the future, because you will trust me after the story that was in the second film. All right. I'd like to see how he trusted him after he had told him (in the third film) that he would kill him. Or was it in one more alternative universe? Naturally, it was, in that universe all these young people had not been killed. And what will he do without them? Down with them, it's his problem, there's no fate, but he is doomed to save the humanity, so don't be afraid, he will save it! Schwarzenegger. We all know, that all his heroes are in fact one and the same hero, and he has only two ways in this situation: self-parody and self-plagiarism, and while the first is fun, the second is annoying. Now we see that he invited the third way: plagiarizing parody. Who needed it? Not me. It was just another way to make a connection with T2, and it didn't work, because it is a different film in a different era. Then, it is just badly done. Yes, they crashed much more cars, but why the chases in the first two films are as much more thrilling as less cars were broken there? They could just have rolled all those cars off a cliff without shooting it - with the same use, maybe, even with more use, because they would at least have had fun themselves. So many details that don't fit each other, the first two films and the reality, that it would be an even longer post if I tried to recall all of them. I still hope some of them are just a problem of the translation, but the other cannot be. Why such crude work? You probably remember that moment it T2, where a song begins with a new scene, "Bad to the bones" or something like that. What we find in this film? Another song, switched on in a somehow similar frame. But that one was as organic as a fragment of a song in the middle of a movie can be, and this one just strikes eardrums with no sense. All this "primary weapons", broken lavatory pans, fragile flying machines, mysterious blinking stands... It resembles a cheesy shooter video game much more than a film. Maybe, it was their primary target: to make a film easily transforming into a video game. But I am not going to play this game, neither I want to see the film many times.
