Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines follows in the footsteps of one of the most successful franchises ever. This time, a decade has passed since John Connor (Stahl) prevented 'Judgment Day', saving mankind from mass destruction. He's 25 and lives like a hermit: no home, no credit cards, no phone and no job. So Skynet (the supercomputers that want him dead) upgrade to the T-X (Loken), the best killing machine yet. She's sent back to finish the job left, well, unfinished, by her predecessor, the T-1000 (why they waited 10 years before sending another one back, I don't know). But Connor has a hope in the first assassin sent to kill him, the original Terminator (Schwarzenegger). They face another 'Judgment Day' and along with it the potential fall of the human race

I enjoyed T3 ? the effects work, the soundtrack rocks and so does the T-X. This is a good third instalment to the series. It does seem to lack some of the freshness the originals had, but that might just be due to James Cameron's absence (they got a brand new director in Jonathon Mostow for this film). But overall this is a film not to be missed
