The movie was 'eh.' At no point did I feel like the machines had really overrun the world and there was no safe spot for humans. Tons of plot holes. Tons of things that didn't make sense. Tons of things that were just stupid and unrealistic, even for a sci-fi flick. I think they got the wrong director, and I can't figure out where the $200 million budget went.

That describes my feeling about most of the flicks I've seen over the past ten years. I blame the general hackery of modern writing, acting, directing, & cheap (in every sense of the word) computer animation.

That would have been pretty good. I mean, it'd be a movie you'd remember for a while. One of those that suddenly pops back into your head for no reason and you think, "That was totally f'd up. OMG!"

Yeah, I wish more directors would do that sort of thing. Well, besides independent crappy directors who do it all the time but don't first build up anything interesting to tear down.
Joss Whedon comes the closest.

Just because they're independent doesn't mean they're crappy.

TPR's statement seems true more often than not.

Oh, I agree very much. There are some very good independent films out there. But the directors that do take this specific sort of risk are usually both independent and crappy.

I've been saying for years that T3 wasn't that bad.
