i hate to say it, but movies idea of time travel doesnt actually float with what would actually be true. im not saying time travel is even possible, but lets look at it this way:
lets say i hate you, and decide to go back in time and kill your dad and your mother who is pregnant with you (pretty brutal, eh?) i could just go back in time, do so, come back in time for dinner, and you would have never been born, right? wrong. if i were to do so, then i would have never met you. therefore i never would have gone back, therefore impossible. its not like some alternate me, who knows what really happend can exist. if you were never there to piss me off enough to go back in time, then why would i have gone back? suffice it to say, as much as i love back to the future, the whole series couldnt have happened for this very reason.
and this translates into t3. ok, im a soldier, sent back in time to protect hotty Linda hamilton. all i know is that this dday armageddon stuff is in 1997, because it always happened in 1997 blah blah blee. then how can it have happened in 2003? even the machines, who probably dont lie, say that it hapens in 1997 (because if it is history to them, it has to have happened) It couldnt have just jumped dates, it makes no sense that it actually happens in 2003.. further more, why would the robots have sent a terminator back in time to keep connor from being born, if they know that they failed at the mission.
long story short kiddies, if you want to go back in time and change something, furthermore you have a means to do so, too bad, it aint gonna happen. i hate to ruin every time travel movie ever, but sorry.
of course, some things do work. in an episode of twilight zone, a man goes back in time to prevent a fire in a western town in the 1800's that he had read about, only to end up being the one who started the fire in the first place. he had been reading about himself in the book:P.
i realize that i am stupidly reading very deeply into a simple movie, but im just trying to convey some logic.
