Rise Of The Machines

As part of Five's Arnie season they managed to get hold of T3 only a year and a half after general release. Even so, I reckon not that many people will have watched it as it was overlooked as a poor cousin to the first two movies. This is a shame, because taken for what it is I think it is a terrific action pic, that suffered against the hype of The Matrix: Revolutions, which is actually an inferier entertainment. In more serious roles, both Nick Stahl (In The Bedroom) and Claire Danes (Igby Goes Down, The Hours) will be around for years. Kristanna Loken is fine but can count herself lucky to be involved as she disappears into Ed Furlong style obscurity, as the only problem I really have with it is Arnie's $30m plus price tag - 10 very decent British films could be made tomorrow for as much.
