T3 is gold. The problem is that everyone wants a happy ending. Everyone feels entitled to a happy ending. People have forgotten how to appreciate works of art that don't feed that selfish desire.
That ending to me has always been a favorite of mine in the Terminator franchise. A lot of times the roles we have are not by choice but because it must be……no matter how much we don’t want it. That ending has so much more meaning and weight behind it that way.
This was always the only possible ending. John's conception was part of a time loop....his existence proved it couldn't be stopped cause if it was stopped his father wouldn't be Kyle Reese.
@@crobeastness no the plot is actually good. An anti-terminator terminator was a good idea. And even the design fits the cannon (skynet stopped using the T-1000s because they couldn't be set to read only and completely controlled). And the actors were for the most part decent. The film had 2 problems. 1 the script needed more work and 2 the director didn't respect the franchise and thought of it as a joke specially the female terminator(which comes through if you listen to the commentary). He is the reason for the attempts at humor in the movie. Honestly even without revising the script I believe this movie would have been a lot better just by having a different director.
I really like it, but mainly because when I went to the cinema I was the only person there. It really felt like the apocalypse when it's just you that's left.
Remember, this movie was over a decade before Infinity War. And frankly, everyone expected it to be a re-tread, with them stopping the bad guys in the end. The fact that it takes place on Judgement Day, and they can't stop it, is what makes it such a ballsy ending and a unique addition to the franchise. Yes, it is dark, but any other kind of ending would just be a cop out. You can't have movie after movie where they stop Judgement Day. Otherwise you're just living in the shadows of the first two instalments. Terminator 3 dares to be different. And the ending, with the T-X activating the Terminator Model 1 robots and them slaughtering the scientists... the absolute chaos of that, it really raises the movie to a whole new level. John Connor was never destined to stop Judgement Day. He was destined to lead the Resistance to defeat Skynet, and that destiny all starts here. For all the flaws this movie has, I still think it is a really great entry to the franchise, and the only way they could've continued on. If you're a purist and say they should've stopped after Terminator 2, fair enough, but after they made the decision to continue the franchise, this was the best direction they could've taken the series, no doubt in my mind.
I loved the ending to this one.... the first movie was about the base storyline, the way history was supposed to go as relayed to Sarah, by Reese. Nothing was changed, Sarah went into hiding and John was born as he always was in the future. the second movie was about John trying to alter the future, and in the process of doing so, changing aspects of the years to come, and being unsure as to what will come (Although in the special edition ending they actually say Judgement Day was stopped). At this point they have changed the future, but we don't know if mankind has been saved yet. this movie needed to adopt a different ending. It couldn't just replicate the second movie... trying to stop Judgement Day, and once again only managing to change some things and effectively alter the date of Judgement Day. That storyline had been done already. Either they stopped it, or succumbed to it.... there was no other option. The film studio of course would never want to end a profitable franchise like this, so I understand their decision to go forward the only way that presents an original ending the audience would never expect, and that makes 100% logical sense. John and Katherine's survival was the Terminators only mission. It completed that mission. I do love it when a movie, now and then, surprises it's audience by not wrapping up everything into a nice happy ending. All three movies have been telling us that fate arrives, no matter how much you try and fight it. Seeing that first spark of 'Leader' John was a perfect moment to finish on. then a monologue, much like his mother before him, looking towards to future they never wanted, but have to survive at any costs.
One could also argue for the fact that judgement day was NOT stopped BECAUSE they changed the future in the second movie. We can only speculate, but i like to look at it that way :3
2 is still probably the best but this is not a bad movie. It's main problem was the director didn't respect the franchise or take the story seriously. In the commentary it's obvious he considers the franchise silly and the T-X a joke. So while I don't consider it bad it is nowhere near as good as it could have been with a different director.
I personally loved the ending. I thought it was ballsy (Like The Mist) and had me hyped as to what could be next at the time. Part 4 didn’t satisfy me but it has some cool action.
Love this flick…the ending is very Twilight Zone. Also a homage to other classic sci-fi like the original Planet of the Apes with a shock ending. I think director Jonathan Moscow did an excellent job of continuing the story with some kick ass action sequences. Plus Nick Stahl is an excellent actor and we all know how Claire Danes blew up.
IMO It's wrong to view the ending as any kind of cliffhanger; as the first movie established, we already _know_ the machines are eventually defeated by John Connor and the resistance, all this film really does is reset back to T1's bittersweet ending; Judgement Day happens but at least with John alive the machines will eventually be beaten. The ending _is_ still a huge downer since it means all the characters efforts in T2 to prevent Judgement Day, including T2-Arnold sacrificing himself, were all for nothing but that's honestly the part of this movie I like the most, it was incredibly gutsy to end a big blockbuster like this on such a huge, dark gut punch, especially after the whole movie up to that point is basically just a less good rehash of T2.
This movie show us the true meaning of "No fate". Cause in T2 they tried to stop Judgement Day, but T3 showed us that Judgement Day is Inevitable. It would've happened any way, sooner or later, and there's no way to stopping it. That's the meaning of this movie. And dam I respect it for having such balls to do it
I have a fond memory of this movie. When I was in elementary school, we used to take trips to the theater to see movies. One trip, the movie we were supposed to see was sold out and we ended up watching this. And yeah, we didn’t sign a permission slip for a rated r movie.
T3 had the best ending of the series. Bar none. My only real issue with 3 is that it feels short. T2 clocks in at 2 hours 17 minutes. T3, 1h 49 min. T3 needed to take its time a little more. Add a little more meat.
For me it was the added comedy and the cheap sfx, if they maintained the seriousness of the first two and better sfx, this would have been a great sequel. It's still good, but could have been better executed.
T3 needed a shorter runtime, because a more kinetic pace lends itself to the constant need to move as chase thrillers go. Also, Judgment Day was happening that very day. It had to feel like a race against the clock. If it became some bloated two and half hour movie, then you'd feel no urgency. That's prolly the one flaw that I always felt with T2. T1 had the most perfect pace and runtime, and T3 returned to that form nicely.
This movie has it flaws but its not bad movie the not serious tone in the first half is what i dislike but it had some good moments tho cant wait to see what you think of rest of the terminator movies.
Blame the tone on the director. He didn't take the franchise seriously and considered the T-X a joke. With a better director this could have been a truly epic movie to rival T2.
2:07 Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a good movie. The first Terminator movie I watched at the cinema. I've met Kristanna Loken. A cybernetic warrior time travels to protect a 20-year-old drifter and a vet from a cybernetic assassin and to ensure they both survive a nuclear attack.
And it could have been a great movie with a different director. If you listen to the commentary it's obvious the director considered the franchise..silly/beneath him. And pretty much flat out said he considered the T-X a joke. In the hands of a better director this could have been one heck of an awesome movie.
Terminator Salvation was the movie that I wanted this one to be. I remember watching this one and being so mad that it was another 'run from the Terminator' only to end up being 'we just have to survive'. I wanted to see judgement day, I wanted to see what life was like, how John got his crap together. Salvation is still not great compared to 1 and 2, but it's better than this one so I can't wait to see your reaction!
And I thought the war was best left to our own imaginations at that point (well, and the few images we see of it in these first 3 movies). Let's stop milking these franchises long after they're bone dry shall we?
Personally, I think this is a great ending (and, for me, a great place to just stop the series, given the last 3 movies just aren't very good, IMO). Leaving the actual war up to the few images of it that we saw in these first 3 movies - and to our own imaginations - just seems the more effective way to go. But that's just me.
Had a mixed impression of this movie, if there was a movie ya felt didn't need a sequel afterwards was Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Hearing of Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines being made was with enthusiasm, skepticism, remember having a good time yet feeling something was off, learned that it was divisive amoung the fan base some time after, a lot of fans felt the same, I get the impression over the years many have warmed up to it abit more, thank you for your perspective and not skipping over it TimotheeReacts. Wonder what your impression will be of Terminator4 Salvation, the series soft reboots after with Terminator 5 Genisys ignoring 3 and 4, then Terminator 6 Dark Fate ignore 3, 4 and 5.
Of couse it needed a sequel. If at the end of 2 you thought that was the end, happy ending, no war... you fooled yourself. There always had to be a judgment day, a war and skynet. If there wasn't there would be no terminators to send back. No target to eliminate. No skynet. But that's just one of the many paradoxical challenges with the premise as a whole.
@@zarakix That's how I felt about every movie after T2. Everything feels like an alternative timeline. Which kept me happy to go watch another movie after T2 even though that had a good ending. Up until Fate when the director screamed canon for no good reason.
Nah, this movie was definitely needed. T2 was a great movie but the ending was stupid. Stopping Skynet means John Connor would never exist. This movie was needed for the time loop.
The movie could have been truly epic. But the director considered the franchise popcorn entertainment and beneath him and thought the T-X was a joke and treated it like one in the movie instead of trying to make it intimidating.
People are always putting down this movie because it isn't as good as the first two, but despite its faults, I think it's a terrific Terminator movie. The last good one, in fact. (The rest are apocryphal junk.) As a finale to the trilogy, it's well worth having.
The film is basically "more of the same" - Arnold as an older-model Terminator once again protecting John Connor from an advanced Terminator model and trying to prevent Judgment Day, lots of chases and property destruction ensue. The best aspect of the movie is the swerve ending.
I hope you complete the series! T2 was absolutely the best of all, but if you're a fan, they all have something to offer. I personally really like Genesys.
When I first saw this… I wanted to freaking unplug everything single thing in my house lol. I still think something like this can happen especially because we rely heavily on technology for almost everything. Great movie and great reaction!
I'm just glad we haven't been treated to seeing how Uncle Ben keeps dying, or how Viktor and Reed fell apart, or how Bruce's films constipate themselves over his parents' death. Or supposed deaths. And I really enjoyed seeing Dr. Silberman make his not-very-frantic running away scene ("Hey - I'm an old guy not in good shape... don't ask me to run AND fling my arms around, too!").
I think all the haters simply don't like the ending, and then clutch at straws trying to whine about something (script! direction! acting! casting!)... those folks whined about T1 and T2 as well. Let 'em whine.
Well... before today I had heard of "Terminator : RISE OF THE MACHINES" and seen a few minutes of the beginning... now after just seeing this I feel... God smacked! It will take me a little time to process this in all but I know I enjoyed the hella out of it and I know I Love this movie . I am Wowed . Thank you for your reactions during this movie... added to the enjoyment of everything that was going on. I look forward to more .
The ending to this movie is Epic. I still consider it better then Salvation, Genesys and the last one that came out. The ending is perfect cause unlike Infinity War, there is no fixing it, what's done is done. Judgement Day is inevitable.
29:48-29:50 That is one of the most bad ass scenes in the history of film. stuffs that unstable bomb into her mouth and says "you are terminated" before she blows up. That's just awesome. lol
Idk why so many people were upset about this. They TOLD us it would end this way. John Connor leads the new world, having the most experience and knowledge about the terminators. I loved this franchise, and for me it ends with Salvation.
If there was a superhero named Crab Man, and he was about to retire, and he offered you the chance to take over for him and become the new Crab Man, would you do it? Remember, you would get to wear the Crab Man costume and drive the Crabmobile. And throw Crab-a-rangs.
Continued from th-cam.com/video/rAfKpDcLDQo/w-d-xo.html Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines, showcases the scooter-like T1's, includes a brief appearance of the T-900, and the T-800 is back! Ah, whoops, I mean the T-850 (Arnold Schwarzenegger). He wears a more streamlined jacket, looks about 10 years older and briefly dons star-shaped glasses. He's stronger, can withstand heavier firepower and has a hydrogen power supply, which is prone to explosions. This machine is in charge of protecting John Connor (Nick Stahl) and his future wife from the female T-X (Kristanna Loken), whose endoskeleton is encased in liquid metal, and mostly wears a skin-tight red suit. She has an arsenal of armed weapons, can spin her head 360°, identify DNA from a sample of blood, morph into other people, and enlarge her breasts at will. But, in the end, she is no match for the T-850's power supply suicide, which allows John Connor and his wife to escape to safety as Judgement Day begins. To be continued: th-cam.com/video/BtjEp93a6A8/w-d-xo.html
The thing is at the first two Terminator movies were done by the same director and the story was basically tied off. Then the rights of the Terminator movie were sold to someone else and they decided to make another movie which is one. So they tried to add onto the existing story but that required for them to do another going back in time story. The rights to the movie was sold several times which is why there are several movies after this. Each time the owners of The Terminator title wanted to make a movie to make money.
The fate was seal at the time John sent Kyle Reese back to 1984, without Kyle met with his mother, Sarah, he would never been born.... the loop need to happen
How can people say this is a bad movie, it's great. Say what you will about it, but you can't deny the chase scenes in this movie are the dopest from all the movies.
19:50 That scene I am glad explain how John got survive at first place if never met Arnold and John will met her father. That ending got me goosebumps.
The Terminator that Arnold plays is a T-850 slight upgrade of the T-800 series the ones from T1 and T2 Judgement day were T-800s. Unlike T-800s, T-850s endoskeletons can withstand much higher temperatures and damage they have better servos are slightly stronger and faster but their still able to be captured and reprogrammed like T-800s by the human resistance
This is by far my favorite Terminator movie, i really loved the fact than no matter what happens ending day will still came to be, and they have to lead.
I really like the story and continuation of the series but it’s just wasn’t executed properly and the humor wasn’t handled the way it should’ve. However everything in the story was on point for me, skynets mission of taking out the resistance leaders and the bleak ending. If only Cameron and Furlong would’ve come back.
The problem with the movie was the director. He considered the franchise something like kids movies (and beneath him) and he considered the T-X a joke and treated it like one in the movie instead of trying to make it truly intimidating.
I dont care if most people like it or not. This film is superb, I can watch it anytime. And reactions to it. ;) Great scenes, perfect ending, plus the needed cheesiness (lines, etc.) which needed for this recipe.
Hello Tim, so excited to see your video!!! Can't wait to see your reactions on the next Terminator movies :D You should watch Final Destination saga too 😱🤯 P.S. Your T-shirt says "Grab your snack" but I hear "grab your stacks" hahaha
Unfortunately, you can't always control the actions of others who have different priorities from you and are unable to see past their own selfish ambitions, either. 🤷♂️ But therein lies the #1 mystery of time travel: can you actually change the future via the past, à la "Back to the Future," or is it 'whatever happened, happened,' à la _Lost_ and Harry Potter 3? We'll never know for sure how it would actually work.
The first 4 Terminator film are to me amazing after that they're ok, honestly my favorite aspect of the others after Terminator Salvation we're the introduction of the other Terminator models and of course Arnold 😁👍
I honestly enjoy the movie aside from few issues i personally have. I guess one of the main issues is this movie feels is a straight tv or dvd instead a theatrical one. But it is intertaining! Sure it was a grab cash one... but the final message is nice. No matter what the heros do, they cannot change the future. They have to accept their destiny... Also it does expande the terminator universe, which sadly gives us Salvation and Genesis (which the idea was interesting but bad explore)
There is a continuity error between this one and T2. In T2 Arnold clearly states that Skynet becomes self-aware at, like, 2:18am. Kyle Reese says, “The system decided our fate in a millisecond.” T2 also mentions, though this movie has no references at all to dates, that the system becomes aware August 29th. This movie could take place August 29 but none of this is at 2:00am. However, John is aware of that date and would very likely have that be a huge red-letter day on his calendar. The whole bit about T-X being able to control machines, from her end, is, I suppose fine. The problem is that there’s no mechanism on vehicles from that era allowing for that control and even less on our nuclear missiles which still run on old fashioned DOS disks, for goodness sakes. One argument against their modernization, besides being vulnerable while offline to upgrade, is that every missile, so far, that you might be unfortunate to witness, signaling the end of the world as it does, you can be sure that two humans agreed to launch each and every one.
The bots the T-X takes over with the mini guns attached, were autonomous, very basic AI but they genuinely weren't remote controlled. The next one, is nothing to do with this one, completely different & followes older John after the war started.
Hey, so after Terminator 2 came out, a trilogy of books came out, The T2 Infiltrator series. I HIGHLY recommend. They were written prior to the T3 movie. There are a couple of other book series that also continue directly from T2, but I haven't read those other ones yet (but I do have the books). Also, there is the tv show that was unfortunately cancelled after 2 seasons, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. That tv series came out after T3 the movie, but it ignores anything that happened after T2, and starts it's own story from there on. I absolutely love TSCC, as well as T2 Infiltrator. This movie, T3, is probably my favourite terminator movie after 1/2... It was just like a really fun summer blockbuster type action flick for me, and because of my terminator love, that novelty helped it. But it's certainly not on the same calibre at all of 1 & 2.
If they'd cleaned up the script and made some of the dialogue better i think this film could have rivalled T2. In the fight scenes Arnold told Kristanna (T-X) to not hold back.
if you want a tv show to watch. Watch Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Best written Terminator since T2, and hasn't been beaten since. Only lasted two seasons, got canceled to make way for Terminator Salvation. Least that's what people said at the time. It's Fox, so, yeah. Always cancelling great shows too soon. Lena Headey from Game of Thrones as Sarah Connor. And she is fantastic in the role.
Yeah, when I first saw this movie (back when I was a kid), I felt that the ending was super depressing. This movie has fun things, but I still don't really like it that much; I'm actually glad it's not considered canon. The first two movies are still my absolute favourites of the franchise...
Just an interesting tidbit of trivia here, while the Terminator is still the T-101 model (Schwarzenegger) the series is actually a T-850 which is stronger and more durable than it's T-800 predecessor. Skynet developed the 850 series with increased resistance against plasma weaponry that had been salvaged by the Resistance. The T-X, does sometimes see a bit overpowered, because barely anything even slows her down. I liked that this film ended the way it did, because ultimately it gave John and Kate purpose and needed to happen because without J-Day, no Kyle Reese gets sent back in time and this version of John Connor would become a paradox. It also feels like the only way humanity would learn from it's mistakes. I know in the original Kyle tells Silberman (surprised you didn't include his cameo) that the Resistance had pretty much won which is why Skynet implemented it's fail-safe of sending a T-800 back to 1984, but I'm not sure if in this secondary timeline that started back when the first Terminator arrived in 1984 that this would still be the case. The T-850 tells John in this one as well the date he was terminated (2032 if not mistaken) which could help John avoid it if he had knowledge of when it was going to happen.
Honestly this movie isn't bad. It is a huge step down from the first 2, however it is still an enjoyable sci-fi action movie albeit missing the seriousness and horror of the first 2 movies.
Terminator 3 isn't a bad movie, people hated it cause it basically undo terminator 2, but seeing that terminator is basically a multiverse, this is basically a reality where they didn't stop skynet
It doesn't _really_ undo T2 that seriously. I mean, Sarah never saw that future, so she clearly didn't know about the whole potential 'whatever happened, happened' angle of time travel.
kristanna loken, such a good actress, (and so s'xy, damnnn that backside, lol), she greatly respected the terminator franchise, insisting to do the staple time-travel naked scene (as they said she didn't have to do it: they'd find a way to censor/cgi it in, so she didn't have to get naked and be seen on screen naked), and plays the role of the "bad guy" terminator the best out of all of the terminator movies, including being the most hardcore/intense character-playing-acting as well too, and also, she plays the "robotic machine" even better than arnold himself, really a good actress, sighs (got to see 'ring of the nibelungs / US: dark kingdom', as she plays brunhilde, so s'xy and bad'ss, with really good fight choreography too)
After how many Terminators movies, I gotta say, Terminator Judgement Day and Dark Fate are the best of the Franchise because Sarah Conner,John Conner, and Arnold as the T-800 are kicking ass trying to destroy the T-1000. Timothee, I love your reactions and your awesome, So on your next reaction can you please react to Superman Returns?
When I first saw this in the theater I was seriously pissed off and upset how this movie played out and ended especially after T2. They killed off Sarah Connor and Judgement Day happened. But over the years I have come to really enjoy it and it did something different then the first 2
I like this movie, many seem to really disagree. The ending is kind of a letdown for some. But you cant always have a happy ending. The scene with her remote controlling the cars is one of the weaker points. There is no logic to her being able to fully operate cars of that time. In theory, you could start and accelerate the cars but Someone HAS to steer.
Given the advanced state of the military I think the movie took place in the slight future from when the movie came out. Like, today I can sort of kind of see the possibility with the advancement of Full Self Driving and AI. The modem bit is silly however in retrospect.
This movie was definately during my party days, however I've always been a huge Nick Stahl fan and his humanity in the final scene in this was brilliant. Not one of the major ones but this was a great film alone for those of us who were intrigued by a new one at the time. FYi, nice seeing the reaction of a guy who may very well have been my future son :| (hmmmm)
😂I think I'm just bothering you at this point, with all the comments, but I can't hold this in, the T-1000 aren't like the other Terminators, they can't be fully controlled, so they have a chance of turning on skynet, so that's why skynet stop making them and instead made a hybrid with the outer shell made of the liquid metal, and the skeleton of an ordinary terminator, that way it can be controlled and it's ability to learn to be limited, skynet won't risk the T-1000 turning on them, they are too powerful even for skynet😂
I know that's the 'official' explanation, but is still a silly one. First, Skynet is launching terminators to the past as a last resort tactic, so a terminator turning against her is a risk that she must take, the other option is oblivion. Second, every terminator is susceptible to turn against her, not just t1000's. They can be reprogrammed, and the movies give us various examples of that. I don't see any reason why a TX can't be reprogrammed. Third, no single terminator is too powerful for skynet, she makes them like popcorn. Defectors will always be in numerical disadvantage. Also, she has no central core, so she is unbeatable by force alone.
@@juanausensi499 I know this is late but he's every terminator can turn on skynet, that's why they all have a learning limiter, we saw it in T-2 where Arnie said that skynet keeps tabs on them so they won't learn too much, the T-1000 is liquid metal so I doesn't have the limiter, only it's original programming, so it can and will turn on skynet

Why were you so surprised about how the movie ended?
T3 is gold. The problem is that everyone wants a happy ending. Everyone feels entitled to a happy ending. People have forgotten how to appreciate works of art that don't feed that selfish desire.
This movie is definitely not hated for the sad ending. It's bad throughout.
That ending to me has always been a favorite of mine in the Terminator franchise. A lot of times the roles we have are not by choice but because it must be……no matter how much we don’t want it. That ending has so much more meaning and weight behind it that way.
This was always the only possible ending. John's conception was part of a time loop....his existence proved it couldn't be stopped cause if it was stopped his father wouldn't be Kyle Reese.
@@crobeastness no the plot is actually good. An anti-terminator terminator was a good idea. And even the design fits the cannon (skynet stopped using the T-1000s because they couldn't be set to read only and completely controlled). And the actors were for the most part decent.

@@crobeastness nah it’s a good movie like he said people just don’t understand art like you clearly
I know many don’t like this movie but got to admit the ending was cool.
Yeah, I love the ending. It's the perfect climax to the trilogy.
I always thought it was a perfect ending. I like twists where even if the good guy "wins", the bad thing still happens anyways.
It ended....or began just like it was supposed too...
I really like it, but mainly because when I went to the cinema I was the only person there. It really felt like the apocalypse when it's just you that's left.
This is my favorite terminator movie of the all the movies
Remember, this movie was over a decade before Infinity War. And frankly, everyone expected it to be a re-tread, with them stopping the bad guys in the end. The fact that it takes place on Judgement Day, and they can't stop it, is what makes it such a ballsy ending and a unique addition to the franchise.
Yes, it is dark, but any other kind of ending would just be a cop out. You can't have movie after movie where they stop Judgement Day. Otherwise you're just living in the shadows of the first two instalments. Terminator 3 dares to be different.
And the ending, with the T-X activating the Terminator Model 1 robots and them slaughtering the scientists... the absolute chaos of that, it really raises the movie to a whole new level.
John Connor was never destined to stop Judgement Day. He was destined to lead the Resistance to defeat Skynet, and that destiny all starts here.
For all the flaws this movie has, I still think it is a really great entry to the franchise, and the only way they could've continued on. If you're a purist and say they should've stopped after Terminator 2, fair enough, but after they made the decision to continue the franchise, this was the best direction they could've taken the series, no doubt in my mind.
This movie had absolutely no right, whatsoever, of giving us such a majestic ending. Probably right up there with the best of the Terminator 1 and 2.
I loved the ending to this one....
the first movie was about the base storyline, the way history was supposed to go as relayed to Sarah, by Reese. Nothing was changed, Sarah went into hiding and John was born as he always was in the future.
the second movie was about John trying to alter the future, and in the process of doing so, changing aspects of the years to come, and being unsure as to what will come (Although in the special edition ending they actually say Judgement Day was stopped). At this point they have changed the future, but we don't know if mankind has been saved yet.
this movie needed to adopt a different ending. It couldn't just replicate the second movie... trying to stop Judgement Day, and once again only managing to change some things and effectively alter the date of Judgement Day. That storyline had been done already. Either they stopped it, or succumbed to it.... there was no other option. The film studio of course would never want to end a profitable franchise like this, so I understand their decision to go forward the only way that presents an original ending the audience would never expect, and that makes 100% logical sense. John and Katherine's survival was the Terminators only mission. It completed that mission.
I do love it when a movie, now and then, surprises it's audience by not wrapping up everything into a nice happy ending. All three movies have been telling us that fate arrives, no matter how much you try and fight it. Seeing that first spark of 'Leader' John was a perfect moment to finish on. then a monologue, much like his mother before him, looking towards to future they never wanted, but have to survive at any costs.
One could also argue for the fact that judgement day was NOT stopped BECAUSE they changed the future in the second movie.
We can only speculate, but i like to look at it that way :3

I loved this movie. Loved the ending,
Not all movies have to have happy endings and be all wrapped up
I always loved how this movie ended. It was inevitable. :D
Arnold getting shot in the face then spitting out the bullet is a pretty good metaphor for his awesome career. Lol
The T-X scared me so bad when I was younger, honestly she's the scariest terminator imo
this one, Jurassic Park 3 and Spider-Man 3 are the ones that are hated but personally I like them more than the other two previous ones XD
2 is still probably the best but this is not a bad movie. It's main problem was the director didn't respect the franchise or take the story seriously. In the commentary it's obvious he considers the franchise silly and the T-X a joke. So while I don't consider it bad it is nowhere near as good as it could have been with a different director.
This movie ended...or begins exactly how it should have....when I first saw it the ending gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes...
I personally loved the ending. I thought it was ballsy (Like The Mist) and had me hyped as to what could be next at the time. Part 4 didn’t satisfy me but it has some cool action.
Love this flick…the ending is very Twilight Zone. Also a homage to other classic sci-fi like the original Planet of the Apes with a shock ending. I think director Jonathan Moscow did an excellent job of continuing the story with some kick ass action sequences. Plus Nick Stahl is an excellent actor and we all know how Claire Danes blew up.
IMO It's wrong to view the ending as any kind of cliffhanger; as the first movie established, we already _know_ the machines are eventually defeated by John Connor and the resistance, all this film really does is reset back to T1's bittersweet ending; Judgement Day happens but at least with John alive the machines will eventually be beaten. The ending _is_ still a huge downer since it means all the characters efforts in T2 to prevent Judgement Day, including T2-Arnold sacrificing himself, were all for nothing but that's honestly the part of this movie I like the most, it was incredibly gutsy to end a big blockbuster like this on such a huge, dark gut punch, especially after the whole movie up to that point is basically just a less good rehash of T2.
This movie show us the true meaning of "No fate". Cause in T2 they tried to stop Judgement Day, but T3 showed us that Judgement Day is Inevitable. It would've happened any way, sooner or later, and there's no way to stopping it. That's the meaning of this movie.
And dam I respect it for having such balls to do it
I have a fond memory of this movie. When I was in elementary school, we used to take trips to the theater to see movies. One trip, the movie we were supposed to see was sold out and we ended up watching this. And yeah, we didn’t sign a permission slip for a rated r movie.
T3 had the best ending of the series. Bar none.
My only real issue with 3 is that it feels short. T2 clocks in at 2 hours 17 minutes. T3, 1h 49 min. T3 needed to take its time a little more. Add a little more meat.
For me it was the added comedy and the cheap sfx, if they maintained the seriousness of the first two and better sfx, this would have been a great sequel. It's still good, but could have been better executed.
T3 needed a shorter runtime, because a more kinetic pace lends itself to the constant need to move as chase thrillers go. Also, Judgment Day was happening that very day. It had to feel like a race against the clock. If it became some bloated two and half hour movie, then you'd feel no urgency. That's prolly the one flaw that I always felt with T2. T1 had the most perfect pace and runtime, and T3 returned to that form nicely.
@@DarknessIsThePath blame the director. He considered the franchise as silly/beneath him(a kiddie movie). And he specially considered the T-X a joke.
*What are your thoughts on the film?!?*
It gets way to much hate in my opinion
@@fayazhossain7987 Yeah, way more hate than it deserves, it wasn't that bad. Everything after it is pretty bad compared to the first three.
Terminator Dark Fate makes Terminator Rise of the Machines, Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genysis look like cinematic masterpieces.
This movie has it flaws but its not bad movie the not serious tone in the first half is what i dislike but it had some good moments tho cant wait to see what you think of rest of the terminator movies.
Blame the tone on the director. He didn't take the franchise seriously and considered the T-X a joke. With a better director this could have been a truly epic movie to rival T2.
2:07 Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a good movie. The first Terminator movie I watched at the cinema. I've met Kristanna Loken.
A cybernetic warrior time travels to protect a 20-year-old drifter and a vet from a cybernetic assassin and to ensure they both survive a nuclear attack.
An ok movie, with an AMAZING ending.
And it could have been a great movie with a different director. If you listen to the commentary it's obvious the director considered the franchise..silly/beneath him. And pretty much flat out said he considered the T-X a joke. In the hands of a better director this could have been one heck of an awesome movie.
Terminator Salvation was the movie that I wanted this one to be. I remember watching this one and being so mad that it was another 'run from the Terminator' only to end up being 'we just have to survive'. I wanted to see judgement day, I wanted to see what life was like, how John got his crap together. Salvation is still not great compared to 1 and 2, but it's better than this one so I can't wait to see your reaction!
And I thought the war was best left to our own imaginations at that point (well, and the few images we see of it in these first 3 movies). Let's stop milking these franchises long after they're bone dry shall we?
This movie's great and Salvation is an amazing movie, people hated on them and now they deserve the complete garbage that came afterwards.
Personally, I think this is a great ending (and, for me, a great place to just stop the series, given the last 3 movies just aren't very good, IMO). Leaving the actual war up to the few images of it that we saw in these first 3 movies - and to our own imaginations - just seems the more effective way to go. But that's just me.
Had a mixed impression of this movie, if there was a movie ya felt didn't need a sequel afterwards was Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Hearing of Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines being made was with enthusiasm, skepticism, remember having a good time yet feeling something was off, learned that it was divisive amoung the fan base some time after, a lot of fans felt the same, I get the impression over the years many have warmed up to it abit more, thank you for your perspective and not skipping over it TimotheeReacts. Wonder what your impression will be of Terminator4 Salvation, the series soft reboots after with Terminator 5 Genisys ignoring 3 and 4, then Terminator 6 Dark Fate ignore 3, 4 and 5.
Of couse it needed a sequel. If at the end of 2 you thought that was the end, happy ending, no war... you fooled yourself. There always had to be a judgment day, a war and skynet. If there wasn't there would be no terminators to send back. No target to eliminate. No skynet. But that's just one of the many paradoxical challenges with the premise as a whole.
T2 closed the time loop and Skynet never existed, so T3 feel more like a spin-off or an alternative timeline than a proper sequel.
@@zarakix That's how I felt about every movie after T2. Everything feels like an alternative timeline. Which kept me happy to go watch another movie after T2 even though that had a good ending. Up until Fate when the director screamed canon for no good reason.
Nah, this movie was definitely needed. T2 was a great movie but the ending was stupid. Stopping Skynet means John Connor would never exist. This movie was needed for the time loop.
The movie could have been truly epic. But the director considered the franchise popcorn entertainment and beneath him and thought the T-X was a joke and treated it like one in the movie instead of trying to make it intimidating.
People are always putting down this movie because it isn't as good as the first two, but despite its faults, I think it's a terrific Terminator movie. The last good one, in fact. (The rest are apocryphal junk.) As a finale to the trilogy, it's well worth having.
I agree liked the first 3 but the rest can't keep my interest for very long.
The film is basically "more of the same" - Arnold as an older-model Terminator once again protecting John Connor from an advanced Terminator model and trying to prevent Judgment Day, lots of chases and property destruction ensue. The best aspect of the movie is the swerve ending.
I hope you complete the series! T2 was absolutely the best of all, but if you're a fan, they all have something to offer. I personally really like Genesys.
When I first saw this… I wanted to freaking unplug everything single thing in my house lol. I still think something like this can happen especially because we rely heavily on technology for almost everything. Great movie and great reaction!
I'm just glad we haven't been treated to seeing how Uncle Ben keeps dying, or how Viktor and Reed fell apart, or how Bruce's films constipate themselves over his parents' death. Or supposed deaths. And I really enjoyed seeing Dr. Silberman make his not-very-frantic running away scene ("Hey - I'm an old guy not in good shape... don't ask me to run AND fling my arms around, too!").
I think all the haters simply don't like the ending, and then clutch at straws trying to whine about something (script! direction! acting! casting!)... those folks whined about T1 and T2 as well. Let 'em whine.
The best part of this film is when the criminal psychologist guy sees Arnold again and legs it 😂
Well... before today I had heard of "Terminator : RISE OF THE MACHINES" and seen a few minutes of the beginning... now after just seeing this I feel... God smacked! It will take me a little time to process this in all but I know I enjoyed the hella out of it and I know I Love this movie . I am Wowed . Thank you for your reactions during this movie... added to the enjoyment of everything that was going on. I look forward to more .
The ending to this movie is Epic. I still consider it better then Salvation, Genesys and the last one that came out.
The ending is perfect cause unlike Infinity War, there is no fixing it, what's done is done. Judgement Day is inevitable.
We don't talk about 5 and 6.
@@SirKolass Or 4
I was just wondering how did u give hearts to my comments so fast.. n then saw this 😂❤️.. love ur reactions u r my favourite ❤️
T3 is extremely underrated and it should have stopped here.
The ending was the best bit!
29:48-29:50 That is one of the most bad ass scenes in the history of film.
stuffs that unstable bomb into her mouth and says "you are terminated" before she blows up.
That's just awesome. lol
Idk why so many people were upset about this. They TOLD us it would end this way. John Connor leads the new world, having the most experience and knowledge about the terminators. I loved this franchise, and for me it ends with Salvation.
If there was a superhero named Crab Man, and he was about to retire, and he offered you the chance to take over for him and become the new Crab Man, would you do it? Remember, you would get to wear the Crab Man costume and drive the Crabmobile. And throw Crab-a-rangs.
Continued from th-cam.com/video/rAfKpDcLDQo/w-d-xo.html
Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines, showcases the scooter-like T1's, includes a brief appearance of the T-900, and the T-800 is back! Ah, whoops, I mean the T-850 (Arnold Schwarzenegger). He wears a more streamlined jacket, looks about 10 years older and briefly dons star-shaped glasses. He's stronger, can withstand heavier firepower and has a hydrogen power supply, which is prone to explosions. This machine is in charge of protecting John Connor (Nick Stahl) and his future wife from the female T-X (Kristanna Loken), whose endoskeleton is encased in liquid metal, and mostly wears a skin-tight red suit. She has an arsenal of armed weapons, can spin her head 360°, identify DNA from a sample of blood, morph into other people, and enlarge her breasts at will. But, in the end, she is no match for the T-850's power supply suicide, which allows John Connor and his wife to escape to safety as Judgement Day begins.
To be continued:

If you think about it, the fact that John is still around at the end of T2 shows that they had failed to prevent the war.
32:39 "Next movie we're getting redemption."
No, we are getting SALVATION.
I once visited the studio that did the special effects for this. They had the bullet riddled coffin on display in their office.
Watched it way back with my dad during my childhood days.. thank you Tim for bringing back so much memories.
Such a brave ending - blew me away 1st time I saw it at the Cinema
The thing is at the first two Terminator movies were done by the same director and the story was basically tied off. Then the rights of the Terminator movie were sold to someone else and they decided to make another movie which is one. So they tried to add onto the existing story but that required for them to do another going back in time story. The rights to the movie was sold several times which is why there are several movies after this. Each time the owners of The Terminator title wanted to make a movie to make money.
Dying with an arm through your torso driving a car sounds like a nightmare.
T3 was the only possible ending. John only existed because judgement day happened. His birth is part of a time loop.
The fate was seal at the time John sent Kyle Reese back to 1984, without Kyle met with his mother, Sarah, he would never been born.... the loop need to happen
2:02 “Okaaaay, we got a girl!” 🔥🤣🤣 #NaughtyTim
How can people say this is a bad movie, it's great. Say what you will about it, but you can't deny the chase scenes in this movie are the dopest from all the movies.
19:50 That scene I am glad explain how John got survive at first place if never met Arnold and John will met her father.
That ending got me goosebumps.
The Terminator that Arnold plays is a T-850 slight upgrade of the T-800 series the ones from T1 and T2 Judgement day were T-800s.
Unlike T-800s, T-850s endoskeletons can withstand much higher temperatures and damage they have better servos are slightly stronger and faster but their still able to be captured and reprogrammed like T-800s by the human resistance
Thanks, Timothee! 🦾 If you want to see another good one with Nick Stahl, check out BULLY (2001).
This is by far my favorite Terminator movie, i really loved the fact than no matter what happens ending day will still came to be, and they have to lead.
This movie will always have a place in my heart
I really like the story and continuation of the series but it’s just wasn’t executed properly and the humor wasn’t handled the way it should’ve. However everything in the story was on point for me, skynets mission of taking out the resistance leaders and the bleak ending. If only Cameron and Furlong would’ve come back.
The problem with the movie was the director. He considered the franchise something like kids movies (and beneath him) and he considered the T-X a joke and treated it like one in the movie instead of trying to make it truly intimidating.
It was the first Terminator I saw in the theater.
And I loved it!
I dont care if most people like it or not. This film is superb, I can watch it anytime. And reactions to it. ;)
Great scenes, perfect ending, plus the needed cheesiness (lines, etc.) which needed for this recipe.
Bro the ending was the best part of this movie lol
Hello Tim, so excited to see your video!!! Can't wait to see your reactions on the next Terminator movies :D
You should watch Final Destination saga too 😱🤯
P.S. Your T-shirt says "Grab your snack" but I hear "grab your stacks" hahaha
Terminator 2: You control your future, your fate is not set in stone. Your actions have meaning.
Terminator 3: Nah.
Unfortunately, you can't always control the actions of others who have different priorities from you and are unable to see past their own selfish ambitions, either. 🤷♂️
But therein lies the #1 mystery of time travel: can you actually change the future via the past, à la "Back to the Future," or is it 'whatever happened, happened,' à la _Lost_ and Harry Potter 3? We'll never know for sure how it would actually work.
9:07 The T-1001 is awesome too, she's a liquid metal terminator on the sarah connor chronicles
The first 4 Terminator film are to me amazing after that they're ok, honestly my favorite aspect of the others after Terminator Salvation we're the introduction of the other Terminator models and of course Arnold 😁👍
That was insane, Tim.
I honestly enjoy the movie aside from few issues i personally have. I guess one of the main issues is this movie feels is a straight tv or dvd instead a theatrical one. But it is intertaining! Sure it was a grab cash one... but the final message is nice. No matter what the heros do, they cannot change the future. They have to accept their destiny... Also it does expande the terminator universe, which sadly gives us Salvation and Genesis (which the idea was interesting but bad explore)
There is a continuity error between this one and T2. In T2 Arnold clearly states that Skynet becomes self-aware at, like, 2:18am. Kyle Reese says, “The system decided our fate in a millisecond.” T2 also mentions, though this movie has no references at all to dates, that the system becomes aware August 29th. This movie could take place August 29 but none of this is at 2:00am. However, John is aware of that date and would very likely have that be a huge red-letter day on his calendar. The whole bit about T-X being able to control machines, from her end, is, I suppose fine. The problem is that there’s no mechanism on vehicles from that era allowing for that control and even less on our nuclear missiles which still run on old fashioned DOS disks, for goodness sakes. One argument against their modernization, besides being vulnerable while offline to upgrade, is that every missile, so far, that you might be unfortunate to witness, signaling the end of the world as it does, you can be sure that two humans agreed to launch each and every one.
The bots the T-X takes over with the mini guns attached, were autonomous, very basic AI but they genuinely weren't remote controlled.
The next one, is nothing to do with this one, completely different & followes older John after the war started.
Hey, so after Terminator 2 came out, a trilogy of books came out, The T2 Infiltrator series. I HIGHLY recommend. They were written prior to the T3 movie. There are a couple of other book series that also continue directly from T2, but I haven't read those other ones yet (but I do have the books). Also, there is the tv show that was unfortunately cancelled after 2 seasons, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. That tv series came out after T3 the movie, but it ignores anything that happened after T2, and starts it's own story from there on. I absolutely love TSCC, as well as T2 Infiltrator. This movie, T3, is probably my favourite terminator movie after 1/2... It was just like a really fun summer blockbuster type action flick for me, and because of my terminator love, that novelty helped it. But it's certainly not on the same calibre at all of 1 & 2.
Can’t wait to see you watch the last 3 movies of terminator next time.
Skynet : this is only the beginning
I remember my family and I went to see this on opening day and the entire audience was going nuts.
If they'd cleaned up the script and made some of the dialogue better i think this film could have rivalled T2.
In the fight scenes Arnold told Kristanna (T-X) to not hold back.
Skynet in this movie has the power of 2 or 3 high end gaming PCs from 2021
if you want a tv show to watch. Watch Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Best written Terminator since T2, and hasn't been beaten since. Only lasted two seasons, got canceled to make way for Terminator Salvation. Least that's what people said at the time. It's Fox, so, yeah. Always cancelling great shows too soon. Lena Headey from Game of Thrones as Sarah Connor. And she is fantastic in the role.
I really love this movie, honestly they did a great job with the film.
Honestly, this one gets trashed on a lot, but compared to the ones that followed it, it's definetly the better one.
True
yah definitely still a really good action film!
Oh this is way better than the next couple. I really liked Dark Fate though, I saw it in the theater and then again on video at home.
Yeah, when I first saw this movie (back when I was a kid), I felt that the ending was super depressing. This movie has fun things, but I still don't really like it that much; I'm actually glad it's not considered canon.
The first two movies are still my absolute favourites of the franchise...
Just an interesting tidbit of trivia here, while the Terminator is still the T-101 model (Schwarzenegger) the series is actually a T-850 which is stronger and more durable than it's T-800 predecessor. Skynet developed the 850 series with increased resistance against plasma weaponry that had been salvaged by the Resistance. The T-X, does sometimes see a bit overpowered, because barely anything even slows her down. I liked that this film ended the way it did, because ultimately it gave John and Kate purpose and needed to happen because without J-Day, no Kyle Reese gets sent back in time and this version of John Connor would become a paradox. It also feels like the only way humanity would learn from it's mistakes. I know in the original Kyle tells Silberman (surprised you didn't include his cameo) that the Resistance had pretty much won which is why Skynet implemented it's fail-safe of sending a T-800 back to 1984, but I'm not sure if in this secondary timeline that started back when the first Terminator arrived in 1984 that this would still be the case. The T-850 tells John in this one as well the date he was terminated (2032 if not mistaken) which could help John avoid it if he had knowledge of when it was going to happen.

But, the first and second Terminator movies are the absolute best!
Another fantastic reaction! 😊
This is the last solid one for me.
The ending was one of the few bright spots of this movie IMO.
Best TH-camr EVER

Please watch Shang Chi and the ten rings
That's my gaming ability in graveyard
Waaah, no Dr Silberman!
Terminator 3 isn't a bad movie, people hated it cause it basically undo terminator 2, but seeing that terminator is basically a multiverse, this is basically a reality where they didn't stop skynet
It doesn't _really_ undo T2 that seriously. I mean, Sarah never saw that future, so she clearly didn't know about the whole potential 'whatever happened, happened' angle of time travel.
I love that ending
kristanna loken, such a good actress, (and so s'xy, damnnn that backside, lol), she greatly respected the terminator franchise, insisting to do the staple time-travel naked scene (as they said she didn't have to do it: they'd find a way to censor/cgi it in, so she didn't have to get naked and be seen on screen naked), and plays the role of the "bad guy" terminator the best out of all of the terminator movies, including being the most hardcore/intense character-playing-acting as well too, and also, she plays the "robotic machine" even better than arnold himself, really a good actress, sighs
(got to see 'ring of the nibelungs / US: dark kingdom', as she plays brunhilde, so s'xy and bad'ss, with really good fight choreography too)
Arnold Schwarzenegger became the governor of California in the same year this movie came out!
After how many Terminators movies, I gotta say, Terminator Judgement Day and Dark Fate are the best of the Franchise because Sarah Conner,John Conner, and Arnold as the T-800 are kicking ass trying to destroy the T-1000. Timothee, I love your reactions and your awesome, So on your next reaction can you please react to Superman Returns?
Dark Fate would've been great if they didn't make the importance of the main characters from the rest of the franchise go down the drain.
Backseat Driver! LOL
If there was never any stopping of skynet it had to happen John leads the resistance to ultimate victory
Also Please react to The Meg, Angel has fallen, Saving private Ryan and Shang Chi and the ten rings
When I first saw this in the theater I was seriously pissed off and upset how this movie played out and ended especially after T2. They killed off Sarah Connor and Judgement Day happened. But over the years I have come to really enjoy it and it did something different then the first 2
I think they wanted it to be more realistic so had to go through the storyline of a war starting at the end.
I like this movie, many seem to really disagree. The ending is kind of a letdown for some. But you cant always have a happy ending. The scene with her remote controlling the cars is one of the weaker points. There is no logic to her being able to fully operate cars of that time. In theory, you could start and accelerate the cars but Someone HAS to steer.
Given the advanced state of the military I think the movie took place in the slight future from when the movie came out. Like, today I can sort of kind of see the possibility with the advancement of Full Self Driving and AI.
The modem bit is silly however in retrospect.
T3 is underrated. I'm always entertained by it.
This movie was definately during my party days, however I've always been a huge Nick Stahl fan and his humanity in the final scene in this was brilliant. Not one of the major ones but this was a great film alone for those of us who were intrigued by a new one at the time. FYi, nice seeing the reaction of a guy who may very well have been my future son :| (hmmmm)
😂I think I'm just bothering you at this point, with all the comments, but I can't hold this in, the T-1000 aren't like the other Terminators, they can't be fully controlled, so they have a chance of turning on skynet, so that's why skynet stop making them and instead made a hybrid with the outer shell made of the liquid metal, and the skeleton of an ordinary terminator, that way it can be controlled and it's ability to learn to be limited, skynet won't risk the T-1000 turning on them, they are too powerful even for skynet😂
I know that's the 'official' explanation, but is still a silly one. First, Skynet is launching terminators to the past as a last resort tactic, so a terminator turning against her is a risk that she must take, the other option is oblivion. Second, every terminator is susceptible to turn against her, not just t1000's. They can be reprogrammed, and the movies give us various examples of that. I don't see any reason why a TX can't be reprogrammed. Third, no single terminator is too powerful for skynet, she makes them like popcorn. Defectors will always be in numerical disadvantage. Also, she has no central core, so she is unbeatable by force alone.
@@juanausensi499 I know this is late but he's every terminator can turn on skynet, that's why they all have a learning limiter, we saw it in T-2 where Arnie said that skynet keeps tabs on them so they won't learn too much, the T-1000 is liquid metal so I doesn't have the limiter, only it's original programming, so it can and will turn on skynet
