Terminator 3 is a 2003 science fiction film directed by Jonathan Mostow . It is the sequel to the films Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). The film opened in German cinemas on July 31, 2003.
action
The year 2004: John Connor has meanwhile grown up and lives without a permanent address, without a telephone number, without friends and without family. He has been wandering aimlessly since the death of his mother Sarah Connor, who died of leukemia in 1997 . Judgment Day , the impending war between humans and machines, has long been a ghastly nightmare for John. Originally a nuclear attack by the machines in 1997 was supposed to wipe out three billion lives and John Connor would lead the surviving humans in the war against the machines.
But it turned out differently. No bombs fell, John Connor hopes Judgment Day has been prevented.
But a short time later the Terminatrix TX arrives via the time tunnel - the prototype of the most modern anti-terminator model, equipped with terrifying strength, integrated weapons and the ability to reprogram and control other computers . Your mission is to eliminate all important officers of the subsequent resistance who could endanger the Terminators and Skynet.
A T-850 Model 101 terminator then arrives via the time tunnel. His mission : to ensure the survival of John Connor and Kate Brewster.
The Terminatrix begins with the elimination of Connor's later subordinates.
During the night, John Connor breaks into a veterinary clinic to get medication after a motorcycle accident. A former acquaintance of Connor, Katherine Brewster, works at the clinic. He threatens her with a paintball gun because she wanted to call the police, but they can outsmart him and lock him in a kennel . A short time later, gunshots can be heard: TX has found Katherine Brewster. Through a DNA analysis of a bandage that Connor used to heal himself, TX learns that he was here recently. The elimination of Kate by TX is prevented by the T-850 approaching at the moment. The Terminator asks Kate about the whereabouts of John Connor and locks her in the back of her vehicle.
The T-850 picks John up from the veterinary clinic and gets him to get into Kate's car and run. He tries in vain to stop the TX with rifle shots. Their counterattack - a fired plasma ball - puts his system out of action for 120 seconds ( reboot phase) and also damages his primary fuel cell.
Then, with the help of nanobots , she takes control of the police and ambulances that have arrived there. The TX follows with a crane truck and the hunt for John Connor begins.
After the T-850 comes to, it gets on a police motorcycle and follows them. After a long chase, the T-850 manages to destroy the TX crane truck and drives out of town with John Connor and Kate Brewster. As it drove, the T-850 explains to John that Judgment Day was not prevented, only postponed, and that protecting Kate Brewster's life is also one of his part of his mission. At the same time, he disposed of his primary fuel cell, which made it unstable and exploded violently.
The T-850 stops with John and Kate at the cemetery where Sarah Connor was buried. In their coffin, however, they do not find their remains, but weapons and ammunition, as Sarah had ordered that their ashes be scattered in the sea and that weapons should be stored in the coffin.
The police arrive at the cemetery and fire at the small chapel . Kate escapes and is taken care of by the police. John Connor hides in his mother's coffin and is carried by the T-850 into a hearse with which they escape and try to recapture Kate Brewster. After several persistent questions from John Connor about the importance of Kate, the T-850 tells him that she will play an important role for John Connor in the future - as his wife and chief officer. She herself reprogrammed the T-850 and sent it back in time to change the course of history again.
The TX catches up with Kate Brewster, but shortly before she can kill her with a plasma bullet, the T-850 and John Connor arrive and the T-850 can put the Terminatrix out of action for a short time with a bazooka . As a result, all three manage to escape the TX again. Shortly afterwards, the Terminator explains to John and Kate on a large empty campsite that the nuclear war cannot be prevented and the launch sequences of the first nuclear missiles will start in less than three hours. He also tells Kate that her father Robert Brewster is also on the TX list, because Kate's father is the head of development at CRS (Cyber Research Systems), where Skynet is being constructed. So John believes that Robert Brewster is the only one who could still prevent the looming Judgment Day through Skynet. Kate finally gets the T-850 to take her and John to her father right away.
The Terminatrix was able to overtake John, Kate and the T-850, arrived at CRS before them and is beginning to infect prototypes of the Terminator model T-1 with their nanorobots and thus get them under their control. As a result, Skynet is now activated, learns very quickly and begins the war of machines against people. The T-850, John and Kate also arrive a short time later, but they can no longer prevent the murder of Robert Brewster by the TX; at the same time, the T-1 and Hunter killers under the control of the TX begin killing everyone on the premises in order to eliminate possible threats to Skynet. The T-850 takes on the TX in a fierce battle as the fatally wounded and dying Robert Brewster begs his daughter and John to go immediately to Crystal Peak , a heavily fortified bunker in the Sierra Nevada mountains . They think that's where Skynet's central computer is, but Brewster simply said that "going there is their only chance".
The TX gains the upper hand in the battle with the T-850 and uses this to infect the T-850's system, so that it attacks John Connor. With this, the T-850 comes into conflict with its original mission (namely to protect John Connor and Kate Brewster) and John can get the Terminator to fight the infection by the TX, which causes the T-850 to temporarily shut down turns itself off. Kate and John flee on a plane to Crystal Peak and come across a huge locked steel gate that they can open with the help of codes that Kate's father was able to tell them shortly before his death.
Suddenly a helicopter flies into the entrance hall of the bunker facility: the Terminatrix was also able to get to Crystal Peak and now wants to complete its work. But shortly before she can attack Kate and John, a second helicopter crashes into the hall behind her and buries the Terminatrix under itself. The T-850 is back. The damaged helicopters explode and cause a system error in the control system of the bunker, which causes the steel gate to begin to close by itself. The T-850 throws itself under the lowering gate and can just hold open a crack for Kate and John to crawl through.
Suddenly the TX reappears. Of this only the metal skeleton is left, but it is still functional and despite the damage she has suffered, she tries to kill John and Kate after all. However, the T-850 can hold the TX with one arm so Kate and John can escape. Finally, the T-850 rams its last remaining fuel cell between the jaws of the TX, triggering a huge explosion that collapses and closes the hall and destroys both terminators.
John and Kate have now arrived alone at the alleged headquarters , but there is no trace of a Skynet central computer to be found there. Because Crystal Peak turns out to be a long-disused nuclear bunker , which was built as a retreat for the US government during the Cold War and only has IT equipment that has been out of date for several decades. John cannot and does not want to understand that they cannot prevent “Judgment Day” after all; he wonders why Kate's father (and especially the T-850) wanted to take her to Crystal Peak, and Kate explains, “So we can survive! That was his mission. "
At that moment John realizes: Skynet has no central computer at all, but rather it has taken possession of the entire cyberspace as a kind of " distributed system " ; H. all computers in offices, private households etc. all over the world. He now also notices that he can make contact with other parts of the country via the radio system in the nuclear bunker, which are already reporting on the first impacts of nuclear missiles. With this, John now recognizes his responsibility and that he now has the opportunity to take over the leadership of the resistance movement against the machines with Kate.
In the last shot you first see the launch and impact of dozen nuclear missiles all over the world, which will kill three billion people, and then the head of the T-850 lying in a gloomy and completely destroyed environment, finally the red one in its eye sockets Light slowly goes out.

criticism
The film received mixed to positive reviews. The film review portal Rotten Tomatoes gives the film 69% positive reviews and it has a Metascore of 66 out of 100 on Metacritic .
“A rapid mixture of action and science fiction film, which entertains with elaborate, almost old-fashioned effects, but ultimately lives more from self-quotations than one's own imagination. While the logic of the film occasionally gets stuck, the plot consistently steers against a bitter, ethically and politically questionable message. "

- Composer Marco Beltrami won an ASCAP award .
Film related information
- Except for Arnold Schwarzenegger (T-800 / T-850 Model 101) and Earl Boen (short appearance as Dr. Silberman), none of the actors in the first two films is involved in this film. John Connor is played by Nick Stahl , who replaces Edward Furlong, who is considered unreliable due to his drug history . John's mother Sarah Connor ( Linda Hamilton ) no longer appears. Instead, Claire Danes took on a prominent role.
- The scene in which the crane truck controlled by the TX races with its boom through a glass facade to shake off the T-850 (which is attached to this crane boom) was financed by Schwarzenegger from his 30 million dollar fee with around 1.4 million US dollars, otherwise the film budget would have been exceeded.
- The breast augmentation of the Terminatrix at the beginning of the film was not added digitally, but was realized with inflatable air cushions in the actress's bra, which led to some repetitions of the scene as these air cushions either burst or were inflated unevenly.
- In the last part of the film, the T-850 has to switch itself off and restart, whatever you see from its point of view. When his "system" starts up, parts of the program are loaded that indicate an Apple Macintosh operating system ( Mac OS 9 ).
- The scenes of the rocket launches at the end of the film were used again in the series Smallville (episode 150 or seventh season, episode 18, US premiere May 1, 2008).
