An average movie

Personally, I always thought that this flick was the least impressive and most underwhelming of the whole franchise. Yesterday, I watched it again with my step-son and I still have the same opinion about it (yes, I even prefer the 4th installment directed by McG). The main issue, in my opinion, is that it was exactly the same plot as part 1 and part 2 except that John Connor was now grown-up and there was this time a female terminator. At least with the 1st sequel, they managed to bring up enough new ideas to still make it interesting and many people think it is even better than the first installment. However, like most of the trilogies, this 3rd installment didn't provide anything new, original or interesting to the whole mythology. The only advantage it has it that it was made in the CGI time period and the special effects looked indeed pretty cool. And, indeed, as a stand-alone feature, it remains actually a well made and rather entertaining SF flick, no more and no less than that. To conclude, it never reached the level of its predecessors but still, when you think about it, it is not that bad and it is even worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
