[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Yes, why is that? Is it one of the words the Knights of Nix cannot hear? Given it's supposed to be one of the summer's big SF films, it's surprising how little mention there has been of T3 round here. I suspect it's partly a generational thing - many of you hadn't even been born when T1 came out, and probably weren't even old enough to go see T2 in the cinema. Of course, by that logic TPM and AotC were both flops as well. For what's supposed to be a spoiler-free thread there were quite a few little giveaways, so I guess I'll just chuck in a few. . . $ $ $ $ $ $ $ . . . before I go any further. When I was watching T3, I kept thinking how much better it might have been if Cameron'd been doing it. But then I asked myself, how? How much better a film could he have made from this script? He might have preferred to use a better, different script, but then he might not: after all, he's no judge of script quality if [i]Titanic[/i] is anything to go by. The big problem was always going to be, the T2 Arnie couldn't come back. So you have in effect a new character. Really, they didn't need Arnie to do this film - he seemed more like a guest actor in it a lot of the time. He was different, but you can chalk that up to him being programmed not by John but his wife. The TX. . . pleh. Interesting idea, robotic endoskeleton with handy plasma weapons, flamethrowers, etc. - the Skynet Army Knife, with gadget to remove stones from horses' hooves, from the neck down! - with a mimetic pollyalloy covering, plus some nanotech nonsense I didn't quite follow chucked in. James Cameron would have done more with it than they did, though. . . gotta stop thinking that! Kristanna Loken, yum. Sort of. I expected someone better known to play a female Terminator, but then Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick were near-unknowns when they played the first two. Boy, General Brewster's top-secret computer research facility sure is easy to get in to. Was Skynet the AI also the source of the virus? Is Skynet, being software, in effect now a worldwide virus? You'd think worldwide EMP from the blasts would mess that up a bit. I'm guessing that the future is now rather different from how it's been shown in the past two films. Lastly, I loved that late-60's decor in the bomb shelter! [/QB][/QUOTE]
