The way SF-action should be (beware: spoilers!)

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2003)

I'm really glad Arnold Schwarzenegger needed money for his campaign :-) Just like in the other two Terminator movies, Schwarzenegger is casted perfectly as a killing machine from the future. Schwarzenegger's presence in an action movie is usually enough for me to like the movie, but for those of you who disagree, there's still plenty of reasons to go see this movie. From beginning to ending this movie is worth watching. The car chase scene is violent and destructive, the way we like it, same for the fight scenes. The writer is careful not to create any inconsistencies caused by the time travel, and references to the other movies and to a (possible?) future seem to be correct. Indeed, this is not just a 2 bit action film script, no, the story by itself makes this movie worth watching. There's some good jokes in the movie, some funny situations, a running gag with sunglasses and Arnold's way of handling oneliners. This all without interfering in other aspects of the movie, as is usually the case in action films. This is a must-see, but before you see this one, make sure you've seen Terminator I and II.
