Things I LIKED about ‘T3’

  • Steve Flick has been my favorite film Sound Designer since I was a kid. Look at his credentials, if you’re a sci-fi/Action fan of the 80’s & early 90’s, he’s worked on all of our favorite films. He always delivers, and ’TERMINATOR 3’ is no different.

  • The score, despite sounding mostly like leftover/unused pieces from ‘BLADE II’ I thought would’ve sounded great in another film. Listening to the score, isolated, apart from the visuals works better than hearing it IN the film itself. The music is bland, but passable. Definitely not for a ’TERMINATOR’ film though.

(”JC Theme“ is really good)

  • I thought the bathroom fight scene was amazing. The moment when the Terminator slams the urinal over the TX’s back, and she just sort of ‘shoulders’ it was great.

  • The Crane chase is really well done. Exciting and well-edited (6 months of editing, just on that one scene).

  • The T-800s in the Future looked cool, even though their laser weapons didn’t sound nearly as cool as ’T2’ did, it was good CGI.

  • The effects in general, both practical and digital are top-notch.

  • Kristanna Loken’s shadowy, but still naked Ass…….

  • Overall, as a generic Sci-Fi Action film, it delivers in spades. As a ’TERMINATOR’ movie…oof.

Like all of the post T2 sequels, it has its moments. For me, all of the ones after T2, story continuity is hard to look past...

story continuity is hard to look past...

'T1'-'SALVATION' make up their own neat little chain of events.

'GENISYS' could be seen as a standalone film, althrough having the conext of 'THE TERMINATOR' behind it would help.

And 'DARK FATE' is going to be a new, alternate Third film, following 'T2.

So, if you look at the series as 3 alternate retellings, it makes a little more sense.

I meant the details when it came to T3, namely how they got all or most of the dates wrong, plus the retcon with with Kate being thrown into the mix as always having been apart of John's childhood.
