Rise of the Machines
Anyway, John Conner is living �off the grid� no credit cards or stuff like that. Nothing that puts his name in databases or something like that. He works at day labor type things. Judgment Day didn�t happen, 1997 has passed, Sky Net has not become self-aware. The terminators arrive. The way Arnold gets his cloths is really funny. The TX�s mission is to kill John Conner and his future Lieutenants. Arnolds mission is to protect John Conner and Claire Dane�s character. The T-X �s outside is like the T-1000, liquid metal and can grow back when hit with bullets or something. Her endoskeleton is like a regular terminator. You get to see what the inside of Arnolds abdomen is. He also is smarter than the previous one. He knows psychology. There were actually a lot of laughs in the movie. Many catch phrases that may become popular. The story pretty much follows the outline of the second pretty much. I would reveal more, but Brian probably wouldn�t like that ;?) Oh yeah and Claire Dane's doesn't scream nearly as much as I was expecting.
The plot is much more expanded than the Matrix Reloaded expanded its. The ending, I could not say what happens. It was actually what I thought would happen from looking at the trailers, for those of you who haven�t really been paying attention, its got a surprising ending that is good. The acting was not the same caliber of Terminator 2, it had a bit of a commercial feel from the characters in it for a few lines. The action is wonderfully filmed with wide shots and stuff. Destructible sets, make up effects, and CG effects are really good. The liquid metal of the T-X doesn�t look quite as good as the T-1000. The �termination� of the T-X seemed a little underdone. It also loses the boy and his terminator thing. They don�t have the same relationship.
It�s not the achievement that Terminator 2 was (Which is nearly untouchable), but it�s not a disappointment at all. It is worthy to be called Terminator 3. This is not a Men in Black 2, this is a Rush Hour 2.
