Entry: 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' - the Film - A87885256
Author: Bluebottle - U43530

I hadn't particularly planned to write another Terminator entry, but this month's Create theme was 'Artificial Intelligence' so I thought I'd give it a go. See: A87884699

I enjoyed this summary Good to see it in Peer Review

I spotted a few things:

"It is also the first film not to feature Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, whose story forms the basis of the first two films." - is this clear that it is Sarah's story rather than Linda's?

"a highly-advanced T-X 'Terminatrix' in female form from the future tries to kill them both." - a lot going on in this sentence. What does it mean a T-X 'Terminatrix' in female form?

'Brewster' - I presume the name is referring to the General rather than Kate.

"Sarah Connor's character would not have changed since Terminator 2" - what does this mean? Does Sarah not appear at all given that Linda Hamilton wasn't playing her?

Why is it strange that they filmed in a cemetery?

"The Crystal Peak military base was a miniature exterior with the set an interior, although the most-used set during the filming being the back of Kate's van." - I'm not sure I understand what this means.

If you can reorder the paragraphs in the Legacy section to put Sarah Connor Chronicles mentions together, that will be clearer.

"The Terminator itself is a third CSM-101, this time a T850 rather than T800." - perhaps needs a footnote to reference the table in the overview Entry, as this doesn't make sense to me on its own.

A footnote on mo-capped might be needed.

"the T-X is not exactly discrete" - discreet?

- love the deflation/inflation sentence

Thanks for those comments – I've made some changes, especially the addition of two more footnotes.

You asked: 'Why is it strange that they filmed in a cemetery?'
Well - normally people associate cemeteries with resting in piece, not places full of explosions, gun battles and pyrotechnic effects. Some people might feel that this was a tad disrespectful...
