Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)   November 7, 2003 at 7:00 and 10:00pm in 26-100 and November 9, 2003 at 7:00pm in 26-100. "To say the film is action-packed would be an understatement." "A robot movie with heart." See the movie that launched Arnold's political career! With the arrival of a sleeker, more versatile, *female* Terminatrix, and the return of Schwarzenegger's classic villain-turned-protector T-800, begins a worthy installment of the series. T3 is packed with demolition-derby-worthy action sequences and a suprising amount of comedy, delivers a finality the other two movies lacked, and will leave you wanting more. Nick Stahl plays a grown-up John Connor, the boy whose whole existence was supposed to be bypassed by the assassination of his mother, which failed, and who was later the target of an assassination attempt himself. When the third attempt to stop him from saving the world arrives, he is thrown together with the T-800 who he remembers fondly from his childhood and an attractive veterinarian (Claire Danes) whose father happens to run the offending military project which will spawn the Terminators. The T-800's new mission is roughly the same as the last one -- to ensure Connor's survival. But you'll never guess who sent him, why, and how it all will end. |
