Better Than Expected.

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2013)

Part III(now directed by Jonathan Mostow) picks up the story of an adult John Connor(now played by Nick Stahl, who is fine, taking over from Edward Furlong) effectively living off the grid, who nonetheless finds himself pursued again by a new cyborg assassin from the future(a beautiful woman this time, nicely played by Kristanna Loken) who stumbles onto John by accident, since she was sent back to his time to assassinate all other resistance members who had nearly wiped out the machines. Once again though a familiar face(Arnold of course!) is sent back one last time to protect him(or is he?) Fantastic action punctuates this intriguing story about inevitable fate that cannot be shaped the way the Connors had hoped(Sarah is absent here...) but that one can certainly be prepared for. While not as fresh as the first two, this still works, with an appropriate and logical ending.
Should have ended the story here though...
