layne67And guess what my seat number was?
Isn't that awesome?
Yeah, well, technically that was my boy's but of course he didn't dare sit *there*!
As for the movie itself, it could be summed up in one word.
Bleak.
And the past, present, future thing was so CONFUSING I gave up thinking about it.
Oh it had its moments. Finding out that Chekov from Star Trek ( whathisname Anton something? ) was Kyle Reese for instance. I used to heart Michael Biehn so when I heard that Kyle Reese was going to be in it, I was anxious to see who was going to play him. Anton was alright, young Kyle was quite funny and I kept expecting him to say Wiktor Wiktor! Star was sweet but I didn't get what she was really supposed to do except be Kyle's companion.
Marcus Wright was the star of the movie for me. He was so there in your face that at times I quite forgot that John Connor was supposed to be the hero of the story. Not really a fan of Christian Bale in the first place and his depressing potrayal of Connor ( complete with his Batman's voice and all ) made Marcus shone all the more for me. And I've never heard of Sam Worthington, too!
It's overall better than the last T3 though ( well, since T3 is so bad there's really no where else to go but up ). And I never thought that I'd say this but I missed Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator. It sounded so wrong to have Bale saying "I'll be back." I missed Linda Hamilton, too.
And whoa, Sam Worthington!!
