| DVD Description 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 Shannon |

Arnold Deserves to be Governor. Here is the Proof. During the short campaign for California Governor, a freind who was not a great supporter of Shwarzinnader was wondering why the media made a big joke out of Gary Coleman's candidacy, while making it a given that Swarziganger was the shoe-in. His point was that, how can anybody tell say that Arnold is a more qualified or legitamate candidate than Gary? They're both completely inexperienced, and if anything, Coleman appeared to be more literate and posess a more moral character than Sharzenhabir. But after seeing this movie, with the wild, I mean wicked wild, truck chase scene on the highway, with Sharbazzanga swingin around and blowin' away everything in sight, there can be no question. Shazzaganger for Governor, of Kah-leee-phone- nia.
this is awesome Why is everyone getting so political over this movie. If the purpose of T3 is to make more money for the studio, then fine, who cares. The bottom line is that this is a great, fast paced, fun film. And that's really the main deal here, it was a blast watching it. As far as action films go, it's hard to top this one. It's literarily non-stop action plus a legendary movie star and Tens of millions of dollars for the sake of blowing stuff up! This isn't exactly Star Wars where the story line can be philosophized and talked about for months and months. If T2 was meant to be the last of the series then they might have just stopped at T1 since the ending seemed pretty concrete in both of those. I recommend this film to anyone who likes action movies. It doesn't rely heavily on annoying sci-fi terms and sub plots and it's not as cheesy as the trailer makes it seem. So enjoy.
good story It is a good story, but not as good as the "terminator2". I like this series very much, I bought the DVD of I and II, and now, III. but 2 is the best. |
