Review of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) by Socrates C — 23 Dec 2015

Some people say that Terminator Salvation is the worst Terminator film, but I would have to give that title to Terminator 3. The reason? Terminator Salvation doesn't matter; its story and repercussions make so little an impact that if you choose to you can ignore it's existence entirely, in fact Terminator Genesis not only ignores the events of Salvation but directly contradicts them (thank god), though the same can't be said for this film.

It is essential to the existence of all the latter films in the franchise and so cannot be ignored, that is at least without the acknowledgement of a major plot hole. The film lets down the franchise in the regard of theme & moral, and ultimately T3 as an individual film fails in its inconsistent pacing, wooden acting, faulty logic, and least advertised: poorly constructed soundtrack.
