    Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

    ★★★½

    An exciting and entertaining film, even if the story feels slightly lacking. It follows the same formula as its past two installments (especially the second film) but this time, it fails to innovate or bring anything fresh or original to the table.

    Structurally, the plot makes sense and presents a mostly cohesive series of events, albeit with a few contrivances. However, character development is weak, and the performances fail to leave an impression or create any real sense of connection…

What’s truly impressive is how the film tells its story entirely through visuals and sound, without a single word of dialogue or text.

    At its core, the story serves as an allegory about division in times of trouble and how unity and mutual aid, despite…
