AWESOME EFFECTS, BUT SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTING STORY

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2003)

I had enormous expectations from this movie, and from all the stars, but in the end, I was a bit disappointed. My first thoughts were, "I think this movie misses James Cameron". But, we have to be fair to Mostow. Who can stand up to a challenge as great as this - continuing the Terminator series, especially when T2 was such a big hit.
As expected, the special effects were unbelievable !! It's amazing what you can make pple think they're watching, these days. But I felt that the movie didn't have any direction. The chases just kept going on and on, and I didn't quite understand what was happening.
All the actors did pretty well. Arnold was excellent as usual, Claire Danes was made for that Kate Brewster role, and Stahl was not bad. Although it was a little strange to see a female Terminator (I'm not trying to be sexist) as strong as the T-X, Loken did well.
The movie was definitely very entertaining. The action was very good, special effects amazing, with some good laughs. It didn't give you a chance to get up and take a leak (there was no intermission !). I would definitely recommend it to any action/sci-fi movie or Arnold fan.
Overall, I think this movie deserves a 9 out of 10.
