DVD Reviews of Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD]

DVD Review: DISAPPOINTING ENTRY CAMERON AND HAMLITON ARE SORELY MISSED!
Summary: 2 Stars

The Terminator series has a huge fan base and I was looking forward to this installment. Unfortunately James Cameron is out..ditto Linda Hamilton. When a director and one of the stars decline to sign on, you know you're headed for trouble! The story is ambitious, but trying too hard to top the jokes of T2 they lose sight of the serious core that have made the first two film so good. The TX...well she's hot and the FX are good, but the character seems to fall flat like almost everything in this film. It's an OK film at best, but with a running time of an hour and 40 minutes this film seemed longer than the second film which runs 2 1/2 hours!

If your a fan of the series you will probably want to see this, but Terminator Salvation should have been the third film not this overblown and surprisingly boring entry. The two disc DVD has a nice DVD transfer, but I didn't find the extra material to be all that great. Of course the usual commentaries and trailers are present, but who cares? Arnold should have rejected this half hearted clunker and had more than just a CGI cameo part in T4 Salvation!

DVD Review: The third Terminator, in the film series, on DVD.
Summary: 2 Stars

This was the worst movie, in the Terminator saga, not only is there a different John Connor, (Edward Furlong did not return), there is also no Sarah Connor, in this story, and no James Cameron directing either. The new characters in the film weren't very interesting either, and the performances, were pretty forgettable as well. The Television series, that came out, shortly after this film, was actually, more interesting, and a better cast as well.

DVD Review: First and perfect deal
Summary: 5 Stars

That was the first time i've bought something from Amazon. Instead i've already watched this movie I decided to buy 'cause it was a offering very interesting with a good price and i'm happy with my choice. Excelente movie and execelent service from Amazon. I'm in Brazil and I've received my BD in only 20 days.
Now I'm thinking about to buy some others.

DVD Review: Another classic movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is another good classic. Own all the Terminators .Purchasing the DVD series to replace VHS.
Wasn't to thrilled with the Terminator #2 version. Prefer the original you see in the movies.

DVD Review: Gotta love Schwarzenegger
Summary: 5 Stars

I always enjoyed the Terminator series. Terminator 3 is great, but Terminator 4 just wasn't the same without Schwarzenegger. Get the first 3 DVDs. I prefer full screen over wide screen. Just my opinion.

Description of Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD]

A decade has passed since John Connor (NICK STAHL) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction. Now 25, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no cell phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet - the highly developed network of machines that once tried to kill him and wage war on humanity. Until, out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X (KRISTANNA LOKEN), Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine yet. Sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000, this machine is as relentless as her human guise is beautiful. Now Connor's only hope for survival is the Terminator (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER), his mysterious former assassin. Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day - or face the apocalypse and the fall of civilization as we know it.

Introduction

With a reported budget of $172 million, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines starts in high gear and never slows down. The apocalyptic "Judgment Day" of T2 was never prevented, only postponed: John Connor (Nick Stahl, replacing T2's Edward Furlong), now 22 and disconnected from society, is being pursued yet again, this time by the advanced T-X, a sleek "Terminatrix" (coldly expressionless Kristanna Loken) programmed to stop Connor from becoming the savior of humankind. Originally programmed as an assassin, a disadvantaged T-101 cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger, bidding fond farewell to his signature role) arrives from the future to join Connor and his old acquaintance Kate (Claire Danes) in thwarting the T-X's relentless pursuit. The plot presents a logical fulfillment of T2 prophesy, disposing of Connor's mother (Linda Hamilton is sorely missed) while computer-driven machines assume control, launching a nuclear nightmare that Connor must survive. With Breakdown and U-571 serving as worthy rehearsals for this cautionary epic of mass destruction, director Jonathan Mostow wisely avoids any stylistic connection to James Cameron's Terminator classics; instead he's crafted a fun, exciting popcorn thriller, humorous and yet still effectively nihilistic, and comparable to Jurassic Park III in returning the Terminator franchise to its potent B-movie roots. --Jeff Shannon
