With a reported budget of $172 million, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines starts in high gear and never slows down. The apocalyptic "Judgment Day" of T2 was never prevented, only postponed: John Connor (Nick Stahl, replacing T2's Edward Furlong), now 22 and disconnected from society, is being pursued yet again, this time by the advanced T-X, a sleek "Terminatrix" (coldly expressionless Kristanna Loken) programmed to stop Connor from becoming the savior of humankind. Originally programmed as an assassin, a disadvantaged T-101 cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger, bidding fond farewell to his signature role) arrives from the future to join Connor and his old acquaintance Kate (Claire Danes) in thwarting the T-X's relentless pursuit. The plot presents a logical fulfillment of T2 prophesy, disposing of Connor's mother (Linda Hamilton is sorely missed) while computer-driven machines assume control, launching a nuclear nightmare that Connor must survive. With Breakdown and U-571 serving as worthy rehearsals for this cautionary epic of mass destruction, director Jonathan Mostow wisely avoids any stylistic connection to James Cameron's Terminator classics; instead he's crafted a fun, exciting popcorn thriller, humorous and yet still effectively nihilistic, and comparable to Jurassic Park III in returning the Terminator franchise to its potent B-movie roots. --Jeff Shannon2) Description
A decade has passed since John Connor (NICK STAHL) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction. Now 25, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no cell phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet - the highly developed network of machines that once tried to kill him and wage war on humanity. Until?out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X (KRISTANNA LOKEN), Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine yet. Sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000, this machine is as relentless as her human guise is beautiful. Now Connor's only hope for survival is the Terminator (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER), his mysterious former assassin. Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day?or face the apocalypse and the fall of civilization as we know it.

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Rise of the Machines [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Huge blockbuster movie really like the first two films now Rise of the Machines pictures. John Connor around twenty years old. Skyney trying to kill him and Kate Brewster if you wonder what Skynet's a computer network that's programmed to destroy the world.Now with The Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles it got me glue to my sofa every monday on Fox. Really check it out. One of the best show of the year in my opinion.2) Skip T3, go and see Sarah Connor Chronicles on FOX or download it on itunes!!! [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I highly recommend the "Sarah Connor Chronicles" on FOX as a BETTER alternative to T3 the film! It faithfully continues the storyline begun in T1 and T2. It shows Sarah Connor (now played by 300's Lena Headey) as a woman on a mission to save humanity from Skynet at all costs! With his now older son John (now played by Thomas Dekker) and a Female Terminator (played by Summer Glau of "Firefly,") they must fight evil Terminators sent to destroy them all. Please support this action packed TV Series!!! Mondays at 9 pm (EST) on FOX! (Also available on itunes at $[...] per episode!) The series' site is http://www.fox.com/terminator !Mark McLaughlin / marknetproductions.wordpress.com / Hudson, MA, USA3) Rise of The Machines [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I enjoyed watching the 3rd installment in the terminator series. This movie had a lot of action and was quick paced. As far as sequels go, this sequel is great as it takes the storyline to the next step.... which is that the machines do start a nuclear holocaust no matter how hard John & Sarah Connor attempted to prevent Judgment Day from occurring in the past. I can only speculate that a "Terminator 4" may possibly be made in the future in order to see the aftermath of the nuclear fallout and how John Connor actually leads the remaining human population in an uprising against the machines that have taken over the world. So, let's hope "Terminator 4" is made into a movie to complete the story.4) What's sexy? [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Terminator 3 DVD In Terminator 3 (T3) the cyborg is a newer model, a TX, I believe and she's not after John Connor as the primary target, but his "to-be-wife, Catherine Brewster. This movie has a lot of great lines, such as"-What is sexy( not really a line ,but on a billboard)-I like your car-I like your gun-I lied-You are terminated-she'll be back,-I'm backI really enjoyed the use of music to intensify each perilous moment in the movie.Hollywood sure loves chase scenes and gasoline fires. Ther's a ton of each in this.BTW, what is it with Arnold and the sunlasses?Have you noticed how we/Hollywood anthromorphize the robots so that they have two eyes in their head? Why not more eyes.?Anyhow this movie begs at least two thing:1) a fourth movie ( well, FOX is coming out with a TV series so maybe that's the plan.2) A trilogy or quadrilogy set of DVD's like AlienHighly recommended for Terminator fans, Arnold fans and fans of Science Fiction movies.Gunner January, 20075) Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines being replaced by Warner [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I give the film five stars, because I like the movie. About the 1080i issue: if you own an incorrect T3 Blu-Ray disc, you can call Warner's customer service number at 1-800-553-6937 for an exchange.
