T2.5

Saw T3 this evening. It was good and way action packed. But not "James Cameron Great", if you know what I mean. They crammed so much action, (really cool) effects, and humor into a sub-two-hour movie that it left plot-holes behind. You start wondering, "how did they get there?" when you will probably find out in the four-hour directors cut. And the ending... ugh. I might not have seen it at all if I knew about the ending. A little anti-climatic. For a Terminator flick. Overall, I think the director did a good job, but it's quite apparent that Mr. Cameron was not at the helm. I mean, Cameron CREATED the Terminator franchise, and I went digging for signs of him on the official site. He's nowhere to be found. Not only did he not write or direct, but he didn't produce or executive produce the thing. He's as hard to find as the SkyNet core (you'll know what that means after you see the film). A shame, really a shame. This would have been a great movie with Cameron leading the charge.

What would I like to see next? A cross-over sequel. Terminatrix. I know, they use this reference in T3 with regard to the (female) T-X. But I mean a cross-over Terminator-Matrix movie. Now THAT would rock. There are already so many parallels anyway. The humans unplug only to find out that SkyNet IS the Matrix. No more agents in the Matrix, T-Xs everywhere! What do you say WB? Summer 2006? Let the steam blow off from Reloaded and Revolutions. And then get back to work. You have lots to do.
