While I had high hopes for this James Cameron penned, Robert Rodriguez directed film, it fell short of my expectations. The special effects are visually stunning, but that wasn't enough to overcome cheesy dialogue and wooden performances from the non-CGI characters, and the fact that the filmmakers appeared to end the movie about 20 minutes before the climax started. The poor box office totals in the U.S. reflect the overall quality of this film, but it's doing well enough overseas that a sequel will surely be made.
