Jonathan Mostow provides a safe pair of hands for the franchise, staging his action scenes competently and keeping the plot moving from point to point, but there’s not a single shot in Rise Of The Machines to rival the stark, inhuman expression of the T-800 framed in a front door in The Terminator(you know, the scene where we see him blow away one of several Sarah Connors he finds in the phone book), or the nightmarish sense of claustrophobia we get from the future-set scenes in T2. The problem with Terminator 3 is, most obviously, that it doesn’t have a filmmaker with as distinct a style or worldview as James Cameron at the helm. It’s a pleasure to see Earl Boen back, too, as the luckless Dr Silberman, whose relentless skepticism is stretched to breaking point in his brief cameo here. Schwarzenegger still convinces as an action lead, and his tussles with the T-X – not to mention the early versions of Skynet’s future army towards the end – are solidly staged. When compared to the less focused Salvation, this doesn’t seem like such a bad choice, since Terminator 3 does at least feel of a piece with The Terminator and T2 in terms of action and breakneck pace. Rise Of The Machinesstuck rigidly to its predecessors’ chase format, with a now 20-something, disillusioned John Connor chased across California by a new assassin, Kristana Lokken’s wily T-X. (You may recall that, in April this year, Schwarzenegger provided his own review of Terminator Salvation: “It sucked.”)īut is it possible that we’re all being just a little too harsh on Terminator 3? For us, both Rise Of The Machines and Salvation have more than their share of problems – particularly the noisy Salvation, which didn’t always feel much like a Terminator sequel – but Rise Of The Machines still has much to offer. No offense to that film but again, it’s going back to the beginning.” When asked whether Genisys would be taking any ideas from Terminator Salvation, Goldberg emphatically replied, “Honestly, no. When, during our set visit last year, we asked them which film Genisys resembled most closely in terms of tone, David Ellison and Dana Goldberg replied, almost in unison, “ Terminator 2.” His sentiments also seems to chime with the intentions of the producers behind Terminator Genisys.

From what I’ve seen from afar, it looks like they will be quite good.”įor Cameron to state that Terminator Genisys is “the third film” in the series is, therefore, quite an accolade. “I don’t think that the third or fourth film lived up to that potential I’m hopeful that the new films, which are being made right now as a reboot, but still involving Arnold, will be good. “I didn’t make the second film until I had an idea as big as the first film, and it had to do with the moral complexity of the story, and asking the audience by the end of the film to cry for a Terminator,” Cameron wrote. Last year, Cameron wrote on Reddit that he wasn’t a big fan of the third and fourth films after all. Time, however, seemed to dim Cameron’s opinion of both Terminator 3 and the film that followed, 2009’s Terminator Salvation. “There was a small part of me that hoped it wasn’t good,” Cameron added, “but another part of me hoped it.
