I have been eagerly anticipating the release of the third edition of the Terminator series, “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”. Although the film had a mostly new cast, the film still lived up to the first two films in my opinion. “T3” delivered plenty of awesome action sequences, as expected. Whether you are a fan of the “Terminator” series, or not, I would recommend this film for anyone looking for an entertaining summer flick.
this movie kicked my ass. it was one hour and 50 minutes of nonstop ass kicking. the plot was great too. who would have expected that the termintator had that relationship to john conner (sorry don't know how to do that spoiler thing, but don't want to give it away). and the ending was completely unexpected. i loved it. i think it was better than t1 and definatly on par (if not better) with t2. that fat bastard ebert didn't like it because he said there was nothing to think about. what a moron. it completely turned everything we learned or thought in t2 on it's ear. things are inevitable and its weird how if you think about it, if the machines didn't go back would john even be in the place he is in the future. oh man.... i just creamed my pants thinking about that movie. gotta go see it again.
The commando team which took the complex destroyed the Time Portal but _only to the extent that Michael Biehn's character knew that their intent was to do so_.
Which means that more death mechs could have been sent back BEFORE he was and either they didn't discover this until after he had left or they didn't tell him (to keep him focussed if nothing else, John Connor knew his dad wasn't going to live long enough to worry about 'intermediate threats' to the future and despite the implications of T3, it's inherent to the notion of T2 that John didn't (time had changed) know beforehand and therefore _did not_ tell his dad to warn his mother about T2 secondary threats).
Thus if Reese, was not the last man through the portal but merely the _last man to know it's destruction was planned_ they could have sent hundreds before and after his leaving and he would still only have (uncertainty principle in action: time vs. space datapoint prediction causals) the knowledge he was told before his recursion looped back.
In theory, it's even possible that a special independent force of Terminators executed a final retaking of the facility themselves or used an alternate site and that a veritable time-space struggle over the very displacement platform occured.
Multiple times.
Neat stuff, time travel. Short of a 'Langoliers' type collapse of causality behind present-time, the implications are nearly endless until you hit a Morgaine styled deliberate split from recursion which _cannot fit_ within the envelope of possible futures (i.e. more important is the past to setting the future than the present is to learning the lessons of the past or the future itself is to defining the extent of consequences deriving from either).
Terminator3
I don't know what the critic were thinking, but this movie is the worst movie. The only good part is Arnold and some action scene. I think Nick Stahl, Claire Danes and the T-X chick made the movie suck. Through the whole movie I wanted Arnold to self Destruct and Kill of John Conner and his future wife, play by Claire Dane.

This movie is so bad it's not even funny. It is nowhere near in the same league as the first two. Anyone who claims they like it is probably a paid PR representative.Don't waste your money or your time. This movie is an insult to the fans.
go home troll. it obvious you're only the forum to bash this movie. everyone i know that saw it liked it. some more than others, but it is by far not a bad movie. to say it insults fans is in of itself an insult. that movie kicked ass.
I liked it...to a point. I thought the storyline was good (even giving poetic license to John Connor's age and when he was supposedly conceived and born). However, I would have liked closure, they save humanity, not this open ended thing they did that was an obvious setup for another sequel.
3 Terminator movies is kind of pushing it, now they're going to make T4? I'll see it with an open mind, but I can gurantee you most won't. And for Christ's sake, could we PLEASE have it take place in the future??!!! They've already done way too much in the past.
