Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Most of the people at the preview screening seemed to have won their tickets from Nova. Bianca Dye was carried on shoulders by two burly blokes, one tried to give the line "I'll be back" but was flat and weak. Popcorn was free and all over the seats. The movie still had the trailers and had two of them.

The make up on Nick Stahl was pretty shoddy yet the rest of the effects of the film was pretty good. There was much laughter in the theatre and perhaps the dialogue was that self-referential and knew about itself, but it still felt weird listening to all that laughing.

For some reason a few things just stuck out as odd, like the hairstyle of the TX and then the blast door thing with the two arms there son. Watching it in parts was like a chase scene extended, but the extension went on and it was pretty much the entire movie.

Toward the end, tension in the viewing, like The Matrix, but once and the palms were heavily sweaty. It's a pretty decent effort given all the supposed pressure for Terminator 3 to do something along the lines of the previous two. At least the continuity of it all was pretty much preserved for the next instalment.
