Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines: Directed by Jonathan Mostow. With Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, Claire Danes, Kristanna Loken. A machine from a post-apocalyptic future travels back in time to protect a man and a woman from an advanced robotic assassin to ensure they both survive a nuclear attack. ‘Terminator: Salvation’ is the film that fans asked for, but didn’t ask for the way they got it. While it was made, the Terminator himself was busy running the state of California, so couldn’t really reprise his role (and don’t get me started on any CGI work used to correct this – it really isn’t up to the ‘Rogue One Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) It took 7 years for Cameron's follow-up, Terminator 2: Judgment Day to arrive in theatres, and when it did, it did so with a bang. Linda Hamilton reprised her role as Sarah Connor and this time, her young son John (Edward Furlong) was by her side. Yet again, however, a newly enhanced killing machine from the Dr. Serena Kogan is a geneticist employed by Cyberdyne Systems' Genetics Division and later a Hybrid Human collaborator working with Skynet. In 2003, Serena was dying of terminal cancer. While working for Cyberdyne, she was head of Project Angel, which sought to use cybernetics to prolong and save human lives. After the success in a laboratory mouse, the project began to used the bodies of QXTZ8.
