TERMINATOR
3
-
Rise
Of
The
Machines
With
Arnold
Schwarzenegger,
Claire
Danes,
Nick
Stahl
Directed
by
David
Mostow
First
off,
who
is
mister
Mostow?
Where
is
creator
James
Cameron
in
the
equation?
Not
even
a
writing
or
executive
producer
contribution?
Was
he
underwater
making
3-D
movies?
Was
Edward
Furlong
approached
to
reprise
his
role
as
John
Connor?
Was
he
in
rehab?
While
the
questions
can
keep
on
rolling,
the
matter
at
hand
ended
up
being
entertaining
enough
not
to
be
dismissed
outright
(except
for
the
new
female
Terminator
who
appears
dripping
in
hair
products
and
lip
gloss
-
a
dark
haired
actress
without
a
pudding
face
would've
been
more
convincing,
but
I
guess
it
would've
been
to
"Matrix").
While
she's
there
to
track
down
Connor
and
other
members
of
the
future
resistance,
Arnie
is
back
again
as
protection.
Actions
they
thought
were
halted
in
the
Judgement
Day
chapter
seem
to
be
reactivated.
Some
spectacular
chases,
explosive
action
and
terrible
humour
keep
the
momentum
rolling.
It's
kind
of
like
Mad
Max
3
-
enjoyable,
but
you
feel
a
little
uncomfortable
attaching
it
to
the
first
two
triumphs
(at
least
the
Mad
Max
series
had
its
original
visionary
attached
throughout
-
before
he
started
making
pig
and
penguin
movies).
Schwarzenegger
is
looking
a
bit
old,
but
still
has
it
(however
cheesy
and
stale)
-
perhaps
his
political
aspirations
will
now
take
over.
Injecting
a
female
Terminator
was
one
of
the
logical
next
steps
and
some
future-present-past
loose
ends
get
tied
up
to
a
certain
extent,
the
ending
a
nice
surprise.
It
could
finish
there,
but
what's
the
chance?
Movie
franchise-wise,
if
there's
money
to
be
made,
there's
no
stopping
them.
Hey,
maybe
they'll
melt
the
Matrix
and
Terminator
stories
together
for
a
TV
series!
God
forbid…
