Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to his role as The Terminator alongside Nick Stahl and Claire Danes in the third Terminator film, set 10 years after the previous entry.

It's been a decade since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now adult Connor … just like he promised.

"T3 delivers the goods."

—

Variety

"Terminator 3 is essentially a B movie, content to be loud, dumb and obvious."

—

The New York Times

"T3 - a knackered old sequel if ever there was one - basically retreads the plot of T1, with some twists and transpositions."

—

The Guardian

"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines may lack the mythic pow of the 1984 original and the visionary thrill of T2, but it's a potent popcorn movie that digs in its hooks and doesn't let go until an ending that ODs on apocalyptic hoo-ha."

—

Rolling Stone

"Essentially one long chase and fight, punctuated by comic, campy or simplistic dialogue."

—

Roger Ebert

"An expertly paced and efficient sci-fi thrill machine, 'T3' effectively marries impressive action sequences with persuasive storytelling and its star's uniquely appealing style of 'No' drama - as in no reaction, no expression, no emotion of any kind."

—

Los Angeles Times

"A sleek, satisfying return to the series' supercharged B-picture roots, this is certainly not the disaster Cameron fans feared. In franchise terms this is like a 'lesser Bond' - but it's still a great way to kill (for) two hours."
