    Description

    As the machines prepare for a final attack, John Connor and a mysterious stranger delve into the heart of Skynet and uncover a terrible secret involving the annihilation of mankind.

    Сast and Crew

    Production

    In 1999, two years after C2 Pictures purchased the rights, two Terminator films' premises were mapped out and were supposed to be developed simultaneously. Tedi Sarafian was hired to write Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which he eventually received shared story credit for, while David C. Wilson was to write Terminator 4. Before any revisions were done, T3 initially took place in 2001 and revolved around the first attacks between Skynet and humans. T4 would follow immediately afterward and centered primarily on the war briefly seen in the first two films. Warner Bros. gave the film the codename "Project Angel".

    The film is far from the first two. Somehow, today, the film does not go down well. The plot is hackneyed. The best thing in the film is Christian Bale ‍ and the music, thank you, Danny Elfman ‍.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    An ordinary day in the life of Connor and his future father, with a minimum of important events. A terrible filler, in short. The film, in fact, is dedicated to some Marcus, who cannot even become an interesting character until the end of this uneven film. However, the cast, color scheme and action are top notch here.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    The fourth film is not so bad, it’s even quite interesting, but it’s a shame it failed. The sequel-reboots were even worse! Of course, the first two were the best, but this fourth one also deserves attention, so I recommend watching it!

    Translated to English

    Watched

    In terms of graphics and specials. The effects here are all of course at the highest level. But the plot is, of course, a nightmare. So sit and wonder whether the screenwriters simply did not have enough timing of the film to realize their plans, or whether these are banal flaws and hackwork.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Well, I don’t know… the entire plot of the film can be retold in two sentences. I don’t understand why it was necessary to highlight all this in a 2-hour film🤷‍♀️ but the cast, action and special effects are top notch. The camerawork is good. Therefore this assessment. For me this is the worst film in the franchise so far.

    Christian Bale. An interesting plot idea, whether you like it or not you start to get involved and empathize with what is happening, the ending is generally very touching and impressive. I liked that there is a connection and echoes with the previous parts, the story begins to become one whole

    Surprisingly, contrary to my expectations, this part did not become a disappointment in the franchise series. It is a pity that we will not see a continuation of the studio creators, perhaps it would have been much more interesting than the meaningless "Ctrl + C > Ctrl + V" of Schwartz. 6.5 out of 10.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    The only reasonable continuation of the first two parts. With cool characters. It’s a pity they didn’t give a sequel.
