Product Description:
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.Running Time: 110 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 085392772322

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

- Terminator 3: the one for total morons
This movie is horrible, the casting is horrible, the script is horrible, everything about this movie stupid. I got angry watching it.
Rating: 
- A disappointment, the lack of relationships and the overwhelming power of the evil Terminator make it a weak three-quel
This third installment of the Terminator series is a demonstration that a theme for a sequence of movies often simply expires from exhaustion after the third time. What made the second movie so entertaining beyond the special effects was the relationship between Arnold as the good Terminator and the young John Connor. The Terminator evolved into a father figure, sworn to protect John, willing to terminate in order to keep him alive. The bad Terminator was very powerful, yet had some vulnerabilities ... Read More

- Bad Casting Was Its Downfall
The Terminator idea is something of great intrigue to me and although it may seem extremely farfetched and even a bit bizarre that I would believe such a thing, I do actually think a machine uprising is a possibility. We as a race strive to create more advanced machines every day; machines that are capable of independent thought and maintenance are just around the corner. There is no denying that if we continue to create more and more intelligent machines and rely more on the interweaving network systems ... Read More
Rating: - Arnold's latest work--until the watershed California tourism commercials
This week's Sid the Elf feature is Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. This film was just another step along our path to review every movie Arnold ever made. Well, except for the awful Conan movies. This one followed the ridiculously successful Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (Extreme DVD). By conventional wisdom, this film failed miserably when compared to its predessor. But, by B standards it might have been just a touch better even though it lacked the same awesomeness that caused us to give T2 5 stars.

Rating: - Great looking movie - felt like a tv show/same story as T2
Movie looks great - very crisp/clear on Blu-Ray player and plasma tv.
It felt a little like a tv show/movie rather than a theatrical movie like the first two. Not sure what about it made it feel like that, but it was there.....
Pretty much the same story as T2 - Arnold is zapped back in time, heads to a bar, gets come clothes heads out to protect someone....meanwhile another terminator (more advanced, just like T2) also is zapped to earth, commandeers a vehicle, and starts hunting down ... Read More
