Plot:
John Connor is now in his 20's, and a female terminator, called T-X or Terminatrix, is after him. Another T-101 is sent back through time to protect John once again on the verge of the rise of the mac...( read more

John Connor: too whiny. The Terminator: weak and inconsistent. The T-X: whoever wrote the movie didn't make her really a villain just a little rock in the middle of the road. The story and the litany was dragged along for too long and just when you think the movie has any hope... it's over.
TERMINATOR 3 - RISE OF THE MACHINE (2003)
directed by Jonathan Mostow
starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stalh, Claire Danes«Desire is irrelevent, because I am ... a machine.»
Guilty your honor, I did love the third installment in the Terminator franchise. It was entertaining, thoughtful to some extent and one of the most fun I had at the movies that year. Basically, it took me by surprise and I have no shame to admit that I love it.James Cameron is nowhere to be found for that new entry, twelve years after the second film. While in development over the year it went in hell and back again but the final product is not so bad. Anybody expecting anotehr T2 could be considered mentally-challenged. Its impossible to top the quality of that film, but what was to be expected was an entertaining flick and Jonathan Mostow delivers more than we could have asked on that level.
This third film follows a grown up John Connor, a few years after judgment day was supposed to take place. A new Terminator is sent back in time, to protect him, while a T-X, a feminin cyborg, goes after him.
Jonathan Mostow is no James Cameron but he handles the action sequences perfectly. The final product is impressive, even if no believable, its uplifting and surprisingly engrossing. It may not be Terminator 2 but still has that epic feeling and a perfect ending.
Edward Furlong is out and Nick Stahl replaces him as Connor. Its annoying at first but proves to be right, when Stahl proves to be a better actor. The faithful Terminator is still played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, taking the role for a third time, but this time around, accepting to do some bit of cheesy humor, to defuse most of the audience's high expectation. It works, even its sometimes annoying. He plays in the right tone and still looks in great shape. Kristinna Loken is the Terminatrix, she looks just as emotionless as Robert Patrick from the second film, but she looks even deadlier, in fact she is. Claire Danes round up the cast in the role of a strong woman and possible love interest for the main character.
Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machine finally arrived after many years of rumor, people had been waiting for it and were dissapointed, but as I mentionned before, I wasnt, not even close to be. I enjoyed every single minutes of the film, I enjoyed it for what it was and I personally loved the ending, which I though made very much sense. There is some good drama and very interesting insight about fate, it actually goes further about that theme that it went in the previous movies, even though we still dont know how time travelling is made possible in the future.
The visual effects are fine, the acting is in the right tone and Jonathan Mostow directs his film with confidence, with no pretention, just trying to do justice to the previous films. I completely succeeds, even though, its still no T2.
I so wanted this to be a good film, as i am an avid fan of the first two. (the first is probably my favourite sci-fi film of all time). Unfortunately Arnie is old and tired, and in my opinion, the 'T-x' is nothing more than a joke. The script is bearable, but the choice of john connor in my opinion is not a good one. they really lost the plot with this one. the only saving grace is that there willbe a fourth, and it is shaping up to reboost the franchise.
Most people consider this a bad movie, however the doom thingy sounded kinda cool.. even though the fact that the terminator storline is a gigantic paradox. Terminators own.
Not as good as the first ones, but still fairly entertaining. At least as a straightforward action movie. Fun.
This wasn't as good as the awesome second one, but it was decent. But there was something that was appalling. ARNOLD'S BUTT! Not a good sight at all.
I can't even remember the plot of this one, it was so forgettable. I guess I'll have to pull it out and watch it again before seeing the fourth so I can get back in the loop. Let's hope the fourth one is an improvement.
Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines is not as good as the other two Terminator films. the other two Terminator films were directed by
James Cameron and this film is was directed by Jonathan Mostow.Flixster - Share Movies
A great performance by Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator. i wouldn`t call Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines a 12 and i think it should be an 15 and for some good reasons. this is a great sequal . i hear that there is going to be a a forth Terminator film called Terminator:Salvation. the fact is that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn`t going to be in it.
A passable flick in its own right. It has the misfortune of being the sequel to two near perfect films, to which it cannot compare. Luckily, Arnie does what he always does in his movies, the usual ass kicking here and there. However the new heroic leads Nick Stahl and Claire Danes are poor replacements for Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong.
Judgment Day back in July 24, 2004: Skynet sends another Terminator; Terminatrix (Kristanna Loken). Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has been sent back in time by Connor's wife: Kate to protect Connor & his future wife, Katherine Brewster (Claire Danes).
The third film of the terminator series was also as good as the other films. The story: John Connor is now in his 20's, and a female terminator, called T-X or Terminatrix, is after him. Another T-101 is sent back through time to protect John once again on the verge of the rise of the machines. a great performance by Arnold Schwarzenegger( The Terminator). A great sequal to The Terminator: Judgement Day. Lets hope that their will be a 4th film!
Weak and left a lot to be desired. Hard to follow T2 but this keeps dredging up the same old, same old. Have heard T4 will ignore this 1 all together.
Not bad. It doesn't measure up to the first two movies but is okay. Great action scenes in this film.
GAH!!! I hate this movie. Burned a good franchise. Hopefully "Terminator 4" will save it, but I'm having doubts as I am thinking of the "Alien" quadrilogy...
Why they did that with the terminator history ?? ! !! :(
Bad history
Bad actor
Bad director
Good special efects and it is it...
Not a fan movie...
The first two Terminator movies are awesome. But this third film - unnecessary and ill-conceived to say the least - is nothing more than an attempt to cash in on a familiar franchise, and unfortunately, it completely undermines the triumphs of "Terminator 2" by informing us that Judgment Day was only forestalled, and not prevented. Yuck.
I've always avoided Arnies because of him - the monstrosity, but the monster turns out to be more than just that.
What amazed me with this was how it actually worked, it was a love story, it had action, it was sci-fi, it had a message, and yet it was commercial all at the same time! Everything seemed to work together seamlessly to create a good film.
I don't think I habe ever seen better special effects, not only were they required practically every scene but it was flawless, you gape at its perfection, beautiful explosions, realistic robotics...But I think that the car chases were excessive and somehow, everyone seems to die EXCEPT John and Kat.
I think the acting was about average over all, no problems but no shining stars either. But Arnie is incredibly good at portraying no emotion what-so-ever...
The thing that Terminator has going for it is the fact that it is all very possible, it has the shock factor. I can so see Skynet happening in a couple of centuries later.
Sad near ending to the terminator series. Poorly written obviously forced in to production for the bucks. Now the prequelesque christian bale as john conner looks pretty good.
I Really Don't Know Why People Hate This Film But It Wasn't As Great Or Awesome Like The Frist TWO But Mostow Should Not Do A Terminator Film But This Was Allright But They Should Change The John Connor
Not
Nick Stahl
Yes
Bruce Campbell
So It's Good
P.S The Ending Sucked
Some people loved this. I didn't. I actually loved the "flawed" T2, and felt that there was no need for any more films after that. This is a decent action film - but a story that didn't need to be told.
i almost fell asleep. twice. i didn't, due to the loud sound effects. i honestly would've preferred to sleep.
I have to say this is the best film of the bunch certainly my favorite Arnold is back just as we wanted.
This movie is so bad its good. If I was to give a serious rating, it would definitely be 0.5/5, but since here at flixster i'm all about the enjoyment
Absolutely enjoyed it!!! A definite crowd-pleaser and I liked it. The premise of all these Terminator movies are a bit silly of course, but the action is great and Ah-nold what's-his-name nails this role as robot from the future. Danes and Stalh were a good supporting cast and of course the new woman Terminator, well, the T-X kicked ass.

cgi was ok but without cameron its dissapointing. what we needed here was a 3-way showdown between arnie guarding john connor and vin diesel and the rock.
This film itself has tons and tons of action packed scenes..and that's about it. As for the storyline itself it looses it's luster in this 3rd installment of "Terminator". I really feel that they should have stopped with the last film. But like always they want to try to make things bigger and better with sequel's which in the end turns you off all together, but you keep watching the other films because you are entranced to find out what happens to the characters. When making this 3rd film they should have had the original characters such as Sarah Connor. For the time it was made the special effects were outstanding. For the new characters in this story it just falls way short and dull of the other films. I would only recommend seeing this for the action and special effects.
This episode wasn't I expected from it's trailer....I want some answers to my question
1.Why is Skynet is still there even if his creator has been terminated and all evidence was vaporized?
2.Why is Terminators are still alive?
3.How the hell did t-800 knows other terminator's story?
4.Motherfuckers...I saw Sarah Connor and John are playing in the park in 2029.Sarah became grandma,John became a senator and have one girl..(In the end of the original T-2
now they changed it)
Errors to storyline had came with this episode.
Ive always loved the Terminator films (rumore has it that theres a fourth and fifth one in the making, after big Arnie gets away from politics. T3 is about as basic as it gets without being shit. Story is simple, two cyborgs travel back in time, one to protect the leader of the future human resistance against evil machines, the other to try and kill him. Survive long enough to stop judgment day and save the world. And during this simple story, it was explosion after fight scene after gun battle and so on. Really, really fun to watch.
