Profile of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

The mood of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is exciting and suspenseful. The plot centers around man versus machine, a manhunt, and androids and robots. It is an action and sci-fi movie. Stylistically, it has a Hollywood tone, involves twists and turns, and includes a voice over. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The setting is Los Angeles. It happens in contemporary times. Visually, it involves special effects. The movie is known for being a blockbuster. It is especially suggested for a boys' night. Note that it includes brief nudity, profanity, and violent content.

Summary of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Returning for a third bout of cyborg time travelling, Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his good-robot role from TERMINATOR 2, once again travelling back from the future to protect future human resistance leader John Connor (played this time around by Nick Stahl). We soon discover that Connor has become something of a drifter, his mother Sarah Connor has passed away, and he has taken to the road in order to preserve himself for his supposed destiny. When Connor breaks into a lab to score some painkillers, he unwittingly runs into his future belle Kate Brewster (Claire Danes), and a whole load of titanium-plated-trouble in the form of a hot female Terminator played by newcomer Kristanna Loken. Hell-bent on destroying Connor, Brewster, and anyone else that gets in her way, Loken's Terminator comes face to face with Schwarzenegger's Terminator leading to some epic battles between the two cyborgs, and a neat string of one-liners from Schwarzenegger.

Director Jonathan Mostow (U-571) clearly relishes upping the CGI ante for this explosive sequel, providing some no-holds-barred action sequences. Mostow also offers intriguing storylines continued from the previous two films, delighting fans of the franchise. In the chaotic final sequences Schwarzenegger warns "she'll be back," hinting that there's more Terminator frenzy to come in the not-too-distant future.

Entertainment Weekly

With him (Schwarzenegger), we return to a franchise we never knew we missed, surprisingly grateful for the star's generosity -- and evident pleasure -- in strapping on the old sunglasses and blasting adversaries to hell. Full Review

T3 delivers the goods. A hard-hitting, straight-ahead sci-fi actioner with none of the pretentions and ponderousness that have put at least a portion of the public off of "The Matrix Reloaded" and "Hulk." Full Review

I Liked T3, although it is the least or the weakest film of the 4 Terminator films. It advances the storyline only a little, You learn that John Connors is married, and his wife sends a Terminator into the past to protect him and his associates who... Read and rate it

It's no T2

After the huge movie that was Terminator 2, this just didn't live up to the expectation. Good to see Arny back, but the plot was pretty thin. Definitely not memorable Read and rate it
