Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

RELEASE DATE Nov. 11

WHAT'D IT MAKE? $149 million

COOL SPECIAL FEATURES Governor Ah-nuld finished his commentary right before announcing his campaign; listen in for hints on his political philosophy. Plus, a ''special effects lab'' lets you build a customized action scene by combining various explosions and other effects -- just make sure you let the Governator triumph.

WORTH WATCHING AGAIN (AND AGAIN)? Perhaps not. Although director Jonathan Mostow did his best, inert performances from Nick Stahl and Claire Danes -- and a flagrantly illogical screenplay (it seems to pretend the apocalypse-averting events of ''Terminator 2'' never happened) make this the weakest ''Terminator'' yet. Stick with James Cameron's originals.
