Thrill ride that should have been longer...

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2003)

Entertaining road movie that is, sadly, not as ambitious as the first two Terminator movies. Could have done with at least 10 extra minutes of character development, which would have added to the impact of several clever plot twists.
Unfortunately, the vulnerability of Edward Furlong would have been better suited to the role of John Connor in this flick than the "action figure/pretty boy" features of Nick Stahl. Nevertheless, Claire Danes is more than effective in her role, and Arnie's Terminator remains an iconic figure.
The crane chase may be the second best stunt of the summer, behind the Matrix Reloaded's freeway scenes.
