Falls Hard.
A "Terminator" film without writer-director James Cameron seemed doomed from
the start and sadly the prediction would ultimately become a reality.
"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" picks up several years after the events
of the second film and John Connor (Nick Stahl) has become little more than
a nomad, constantly moving around because of the fact he does not feel safe
anywhere. Even though everything was supposedly solved at the conclusion of
"Terminator 2", Stahl cannot help but feel that danger still looms. He is of
course right as a new terminator (in the form of the strikingly beautiful
Kristanna Loken) comes into the picture and chaos strikes. Naturally Arnold
Schwarzenegger returns as a re-programmed terminator sent from the future to
protect Stahl at all costs. Also along for the ride is engaged veterinarian
Claire Danes who has an important role to play in the future. Skynet (ran by
David Andrews, who is also Danes' father) is still the governmental entity
that must be stopped, altering the future for good. "Terminator 3" struggles
the whole way through and nearly won me over anyway with fast-paced action
and clever one-liners. However, the direction by Jonathan Mostow (a
film-maker who does not hold a candle to Cameron) is never very clear and
the writing staggers throughout. The final moments of the production are a
huge downer too and it is made blatantly clear that there is always a chance
for more installments. I was very close to giving "Terminator 3" a marginal
thumbs up, but the ending was such a mess that it soured me on that notion.
Not in the same league with the first installment and not in the same
cinematic galaxy as the second. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
