terminator 3: rise of the machines

i dont know why this movie gets such a bad rap, i think it's pretty fun! the film picks up about 10 years after the last one. we find john
conner living 'off the grid', figuring that way the robots wont be able to find him. looks like he figured wrong. this time the robots sent
back a terminatrix: a girl terminator that can change shape, but has an endoskeletin- that way it can turn itself into weapons too! since
john is no where to be found, she was sent back to get john's future wife. fortunately the good guys sent back a terminator too- cue arnie!
some of the things in the movie are a bit lame, when arnold appears its basically a retread of terminator 2, but with some added humor.
once everything is in place the real fun begins- we are treated to a really cool action scene where the bad robot chases after john with a
construction truck which leads to much destuction. as things play out we get to see the 'judgement day' that was referenced in the last
movie. the robots are activated on line and john and his future wife must do everything they can to stop it, or at least escape. the main theme of this movie is about how there is no way to stop the inevitable, which is the exact opposite of terminator 2 which was all about how there is no such thing as fate. the contrast between the two is interesting and we are given a chance to see what those two ideas mean for the characters and the world created in this series.
