Awesome! Intense ! A must see 4 stars out of 4.

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2003)

My wife and I have just seen T3 rise of the machines and we were absolutely blown away by this 3rd installment of the Terminator Saga.
At first I had wondered whether the absence of James Cameron as the director would be felt but I can honestly say now, that the T3 story and character development was superbly well done by Jonathan Mostow who has earned my respect as the director of T3.
The progression of the events in the film is particularly gripping and intense especially when one understands everything that has led up to the events that take place in T3. All the pieces seem to come together at a whirlwind pace and many questions are answered from the first 2 movies.
The action sequences are first-rate, outstanding and compelling. The dynamic interplay and chemistry displayed by the four main characters T101, the TX, John and Kate is fascinating to watch.
I highly recommend this film, which is not only non-stop action but also full of emotional depth and eye opening perspectives which characterizes great science fiction stories. I am extremely demanding of science fictions stories having been a hard core Sci-Fi fan all my life and this film passes the test with flying colors.This trilogy will take its rightful place alongside my other favorite Sci-Fi sagas such as the Alien series.
