Review of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) by Alexander Z — 24 Nov 2015
This unnecessary sequel is pretty much bad all across the board. At times it plays it for laughs, laughs that never really work, and it has far more plot conveniences and contrivances than the previous two.
Someone has to fly a plane, so a character just says "I grew up flying planes!" or something...of course you did, the plot needs it right now! The T-X sucked, completely bland and non scary in every scene.
Two sequences worked for me, only two, the big truck chase sequence was really good, and the final moments after Judgement Day had arrived. If you are going to rewrite history and say that Judgement Day wasn't averted just delayed, then at least you have to make the day it arrives work.
..and I feel like they did.
