Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
It's been 10 years since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now-adult Connor … just like he promised.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Impressive visuals! The actions scenes are really incredible and all-out spectacular. The (sometimes silly) humor was actually quite funny, too, especially with Arnold's very dry sense of humor that comes across so hilarious. Just like the previous films, this is non-stop action and excitement from beginning to end. Loken was fantastic as the antagonist. Yes, the film does feature the 'destroy-as-much-as-possible' action sequences Hollywood action films are known for, but it does actually work well in these films.
Who doesn't like the Terminator storyline? The original blew our minds and the follow up the same. However, for this 3rd installment, a little laziness and money driven dynamics is at work here. The allure of quality of the theme is diluted and not brought out. There are long-drawn out scenes and scenes under-developed. There is so much one can do with a super robot that just doesn't surface here. Also, the human parts lack depth and development. This is more of a mathematical movie meaning return on investment than a memorable one. Too bad too but only for the viewer. Everyone else made a buck or two. One gets the felling of being rushed while watching and not slowed down enough to sip a scene for depth. The thrill and action sequences were over the top and while this is allowed, these scenes ran too long and took away from the movie not added to it. Good sci-fi has to be respected if one wants in for the hall of fame spots. For the popcorn and money making, this one performs well-enough. You have to see it to judge it making you a...
This movie is just stupid. I was laughing for most of the runtime. On a technical level, this movie is fine. The way its shot is great, but aesthetics don't make a movie. The acting is worse than the previous movies, and the script is a mess. Most of the characters act like complete morons. I would not recommend this movie. Its not even worth watching for comedic purposes because of how frustratingly stupid most of the characters are. Its almost hard to believe that this movie came from the two before it.
I enjoyed this movie, it was a fun ride the whole way, it was engaging and get me interested and suspicious of what was to happen next. However, I couldn't help but feel the whole way through that it was just an updated version of Terminator 2 but with better effects. The actors were great, Arnold I loved again, but I feel it was too similar to T2 to gain a higher rating from me.
