Best Summer Sci-Fi Action Film of 2003!

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2003)

Whoa! That was some fun... 7.5/10
I must say that after being rather disappointed after watching the much anticipated Matrix and X Men sequels in May-June this year, July could as well be the best movie month with the welcoming of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
I did like T1 and T2, but didn't expect much from T3. Surpisingly, it was awesome! Arnold was his same old, Kristanna Loken here was a better "bad" terminator than Robert Patrick in T2:Judgement Day, Nick Stahl did great job as a 20+ John Connor and Claire Daines, her humble self as usual, did a dignified supporting role as well. Good starcast, good action, smooth flow of the movie, ocassional wisecracks and "not overdone yet superb" special affects make this movie definitely enjoyable.
I was honored to see a sneak preview tonight, and indeed it was an honor. Everyone who came out of the 2 theater halls seemed content and satisfied with the third installment of Terminator. Mistow definitely did a good direction and James Cameron wasn't all that missed. Whew! what a break from pseudo-martial arts.
No spoilers: but the ending was rather different, compared to the first 2 movies. Looking forward to the fourth film if any. They better make one before old man Arnold has a farm. There has to be a conclusion, some way the future is changed. Just do your part and perform an advanced virus check on your pc every night before the Sky-Net "Super-Virus" takes over........
