Deja-vu
First, let me say I did like this movie, but, as a third Terminator installment, it was like T2 part 2. When I heard the name "Rise of the Machines", I expected it was going to move forward into the war. Instead it only touches on its beginning after a familiar rehash of the terminator vs terminator and the humans he was reprogrammed to protect theme. The idea of avoiding the war should have already been abandoned as impossible (explained below). And I take it that the ever better terminators employed by the machines are a sort of butterfly effect result of tampering with time. It appears that eventually the machines will win this game of cat and mouse being that their technology gets better each time while humans can only seem to muster up another reprogrammed T101.

Terminator was about a machine sent back in time by machines to destroy the mother of the man who would lead humans to defeat the machines and the man sent back to protect her. T2 was about the same thing but now the target is the boy who will grow up to lead humans to defeat the machines and instead of a man being sent back, a captured and reprogrammed terminator is sent back to protect the boy. T3 is guess what? It's T2 again but with the bad terminator sent to destroy the lieutenants of the human who would lead the humans to destroy the machines. Well, that's how it starts anyway, until the bad terminator realizes she can kill him himself as well as his lieutenants.

Now, it didn't take T3 to get the idea across that "Judgement Day" is inevitable. The storyline of the first two say that. After all, for John Conner to even be born, Judgement Day HAS to happen or his father is never sent back to protect his mother.

Any chance of moving ahead and into the war? I hope they don't launch T4:Operation Bloodline Erasure set in 1800s Wyoming... The T101 would be hard pressed to find good sunglasses or even the leather clothes or any of the now cliche' gags like he likes there.

Like I said, T3 is good in my opinion, but that road is getting overly worn. It was just too familiar to be better than average.

Its not T1 or T2
This movie is not in the same class as T1 or T2. But that does not mean its a bad movie. It's just not as good as the rest in the series.

I enjoyed the movie and had no real issues with where they have taken the story. I think it makes a good compainion to the first two. If they make a 4th I just hope they find an different was to bring the terminators in rather that just a few more sent thru time.

2 stars and you're lucky i gave it that...
The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because Kristanna Loken is super hott...thats the only upside to this movie. Everything else is thumbs down. The acting is horrible, the story is bad...well, everything is bad really. Don't waste your time or money on this unless you want to see Kristanna Loken semi-naked.
