Amazon.co.uk Review
ITerminator 3: Rise of the Machines/I starts in high gear and never slows down. The apocalyptic "Judgment Day" of IT2/I was never prevented, only postponed: John Connor (Nick Stahl, replacing IT2/I'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 saviour 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 future wife Kate (Claire Danes) in thwarting the T-X's relentless pursuit. The plot presents a logical fulfilment of IT2/I's prophecy, disposing of Connor's mother (Linda Hamilton is sorely missed) while computer-driven machines assume control, launching a nuclear nightmare that Connor must survive. p With IBreakdown/I and IU-571/I serving as rehearsals for this cautionary epic of mass destruction, director Jonathan Mostow wisely avoids any stylistic connection to James Cameron's classics; instead he's crafted a fun, exciting popcorn thriller, humorous and yet still effectively nihilistic, and comparable to IJurassic Park III/I in returning the ITerminator/I franchise to its potent B-movie roots. --IJeff Shannon/I p BOn the DVD:/B ITerminator 3/I two-disc set has only one deleted scene, but it's first-class. The "Sgt Candy Scene" is a must-see and, unfortunately, the best thing on the second disc. The rushed HBO documentary shows us far more flash than substance. Better is the Visual Effects Lab that goes more in-depth with four sequences, although you need to wade through a weak interface for each segment. Making your "own" effects isn't that much fun; you can only choose a few effects that change in two scenes. Anyone looking to get the complicated backstory of the trilogy figured out should dig into the "Sky Net Database" and an intricate timeline. p Disc 1 has a 30-second intro from the Governator himself, plus two commentary tracks: director Jonathan Mostow goes into great detail on how the little things (from lighting street scenes to tricks for destroying buildings) count; the second track is pieced together from the actors recorded separately--here Mostow appears with actress Claire Danes doing her first commentary track. The anamorphic 2.40:1 widescreen picture and thunderous DTS 5.1 or Dolby Digital 5.1 sound options deliver everything you would expect. --IDoug Thomas/I

1 out of 5 stars Disaster Movie VS Terminator 3   December 30, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

It would result in an explosion so huge the world would blow up.br /br /Anyway T3 is a terrible film that sucks so badly.br /br /Female Tart as Terminator? Ha ha.. NO!br /br /No Sarah Connor? Killed her off easy i see. Biggggg Mistake.br /br /T3 is the worst sequel in history with the worst female actress and a stupid foreign director.br /br /T4 looks promising, avoid T3 at all costs. True fans dont regard Terminator 3 as part of the series


1 out of 5 stars Sorry!   December 26, 2008
br /There's lots and lots of action and special effects to this one, but the story fails to draw you in.br /When I first saw Terminator 2, I fell in love with the film and sank straight into it. Every about was perfect, but this one doesn't have the same effect and so I cannot feel the same way.br /I don't think I will ever see another one of these. Salvation doesn't appeal to me either. But you never know that could be a good one?br /


5 out of 5 stars Great!   July 16, 2008
I love this film,and I'll jump off the fence here,by saying I thought it was just better than Terminator 2.Don't get me wrong.I loved the second film.It was a great action film,and I loved the main characters in the story.Arnie as the obsolete and defunct,but still deadly Terminator.Protecting Nick Stahl and the lovely Claire Danes from the sexy,but lethal killing machine of Kristina Lokken.It was great fun,and it remains to be seen,if a fourth Terminator movie is coming.If it is,they'd have to match the high standards set here.Well done to all involved.


3 out of 5 stars Not a scratch on the originals, but T3 rounds off the trilogy nicely.   July 11, 2008
Firstly I'd like to say I'm a huge fan of Terminator and T2, unfortunately T3 is worlds away from the quality of them. It's not an easy task to live up to two of the best sci-fi films ever. However, that doesn't mean it isn't worth a look because there is a lot to like.br /br /Jonathan Mostow takes over from James Cameron in this installment and deserves big credit for carrying on the Terminator journey well and creating exiting action along the way. Some of the set pieces are breathtaking, including a brilliant fight that involves a crane and the graveyard scene is very good as well. In the action stakes, not much more could have been asked for is probably the films best strength.br /br /As for the casting, I'm sorry to say that its mostly bad news. Arnie seems too old and didn't have the same impact on me as he did in the previous films. He looks a little bit out of place in some of the action scenes as well. The T-X, played by Kristanna Loken is OK but by the far the weakest villian of the trilogy. Loken is not bad in the role but the character could have been much better. Claire Danes as Kate Brewster seems out of place and is definitely miscast. But there is Salvation (ha!), Nick Stahl is excellent as John Connor and carries on from Edward Furlong easily. I was disapointed not to see Furlong back as he was brilliant in T2 but Stahl is good and was unlucky not to be offered to reprise his role in the upcoming Terminator Salvation (you can hardly argue with Christian Bale though).br /br /Overall, Terminator 3 is an above average action film and packs some great action into the running time and has an interesting plot with a few surprises I didn't see coming. Another high point is the excellent, downbeat ending that leaves you wanting more. Dont expect another film as good as Terminator or T2 because you will be disapointed, just enjoy the thrills, the story and the excellent action. Roll on T4...br /br /
