Wow

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2003)

There's bad history with 3rd movies in a series...Alien 3, The Godfather 3, Jaws 3, etc. This one breaks the cycle. Excellent story, great acting (especially the T-X), and an absolutely amazing ending. Kristanna Loken builds upon Robert Patric's emotionless killer T1000, and makes the T-X one of the best evil nemesis's ever. Arnie looks great. Other than the story, the thing that really stands out is the effects. Rather than relying on CG, the majority of the action scenes have the look and feel of reality, whether they're created by miniatures, or good old-fashioned stuntwork. Jonathan Mostow has done the series proud, let's hope T4 isn't too far off.
