“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”——
7 p.m., AMC
The taut, exciting sci-fi thriller pumps up our adrenaline and engages our heads as it again sticks young John Connor (Nick Stahl) in the path of high-tech assassins from the future. Director Jonathan Mostow (“U-571”) maintains a somber tone even as the new movie raises the action stakes on its predecessor and often succeeds, with a car chase that shames “The Matrix Reloaded.”
MPAA rating: R
