Terminator 3 - Rise Of The Machines (DVD 2003)

The third outing for this popular franchise, saw a change of director, however James Cameron was still involved with the script writing.

Compared to the last two film this would be the weaker of the trilogy. However it's still a good film and once you have seen the first two, obviously you're going to see the conclusion.

Plot summary:

After failing twice, to kill the young John Connor. Skynet sends a more up to date Terminator (T-X) to to eliminate him and his future wife.

As with the previous films John learns of Skynet's plans and modifies a old terminator unit to protect his younger self.

This was the Two Disc edition which had some good extras

If you're looking for value try the Trilogy boxset, which has all three films and a host of extras.

for once an excellent follow on film, has a brilliant ending and some awesome fight/chase scenes. watch with awe.

GOOD ON A BIG TV,AND PLAYS NICE ON BLUE-RAY DVD PLAYER.
Why did you decide to buy it?
JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT.LOL

I purchased this item purely because I'm a big fan of movies and there are certain sets, like the terminator and alien films, that I simply have to own.

The film itself is incredibly weak by comparison to the first two in the trilogy but it has it's moments and stands up well enough if you disregard its predecessors.

Worth buying solely for the moment when the terminator dons a set of pink elton john star shaped glasses in a moment of pure comic parody.

Worth a cheeky fiver perhaps (inc P+P) or as part of a set.

I love watching films and am always on the look out for films I have not seen. Not having watched a terminator film I bought this bargain and was not disapointed. Its a good sci fi thriller, fast moving, not to be taken seriously kind of film. Enjoyed it alot and the stunts and visual effects were great. So much so I want to see the others in the series.

i loved t2 and didnt think they could get better, you know the thing with sequals! but i thought this was the best yet, great acting, great stunts overall brilliant

THE STORY CONTINUES THE CYBORGS BECOME FASTER AND BETTER? WELL MAY BE NOT, THE STORY OF THE JUDGEMENT DAY BECOMES JUDGING ITSELF IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE FIRST 2 THEN YOU THE KNOW STORY JOHN CONNOR IS THE FUTURE OF THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS AGAINST THE CYBORGS FOR THE FUTURE. THATS ABOUT IT BUT THE GRAPHICS ARE SUPERB, AND ARNOLD SCHWARZENNGER ALWAYS GET THE SPELLING WRONG IS STILL SUPERB AS HE STARRED IN 1985, THIS IS ONE SPECTACULAR FILM, THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS SPECIAL, AND WE JUST HOPE THERE IS MORE TO COME, GET THIS ON VHS OR DVD, THE FILM WILL HAVE YOU SPELLBOUND, HAVE THE POPCORN AND THE PIZZA, BECAUSE YOU ARE IN FOR A REAL TREAT, SUPERB AT ITS BEST YET! REAL 5/5

This role was made for Arnie. Lots of action without too much dialect. Each terminator film was better than the last - so this one is great. Plenty of suspense and intrique. You'll love it !!

it was quick and easy and the film was spot on..............................................................................................

I wanted it to complete the Terminator Trilogy, I think alone it would be a good film but it is worthless compared to its predecessors. It would have been better if it was maybe a 15 instead of a 12, appealing to a younger audience was a mistake. but still 3/5.

"WELL" It's Good Film I Enjoyed Watching It All Over Agian.
I Watched It Today And I'll Watch It Tomorrow and The Next Day Probely I Might
Watch It The Next Day After That As Well.

Was ok film set an end to the the trilogy and put the story to rest great SFX and Arnie also great to wtch n these films, other casting pretty average but over all good film to have to complete trilogy

What can I say about Terminator 3. Well, if you think you’re going to get a movie that is as well written, acted and generally fantastic as the original terminator and terminator 2, look again. Because this is not the same calibre as its predecessors. However considering there is a 12 year gap between this film and terminator 2; the story line is solid and generally stays true to the originals. It's certainty worth buying if you liked the fist 2 films and as you can buy it pretty cheap these days is a good film just to pick up and watch on a Friday night. It has fairly good re-watch value and plenty of action which is exactly what a terminator film needs. So to sum up I give Terminator 3, 4 out of 5 Swartzenagers.

When I first heard that there was a Third Terminator being released, I thought there is no way this series can still be interesting, I was certainly proven wrong when I watched this, it still remains entertaining, and there's added humour but not too much, I don't think any film can beat Terminator 2: Judgement Day there, I think the standard it set is way to high for any other Terminator film to follow, but T3 certainly competes and manages to keep the viewer enetertained, I can't wait for Terminator: Salvation.

Review:
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the film

Every sci-fi fan should have this in their collection. Slightly biased opinion as I'm a devout terminator fan and am eagerly awaiting the release of Terminator salvation on DVD to complete the series.

We all know that sequels are very poor usually and sequels to sequels are even worse... However, much as Terminator is magnificent and Terminator 2 is close to genius you'd think this has got to be terrible. However, I actually really enjoyed it the new Terminatrix is great and Clare Danes as John Connor's future wife is also very good. The only negative is the consistency of the film facts which will only worry the movie geeks.

Get this amazing film on DVD trying to watch it with TV AD brweaks kills the film...plus is a good prequel to the new T4 in cinema's now...get it and catch up first...

Terminator - The Rise of the Machines.
After a break of several years.. The Terminator returns!
Just when you thought they were finished, you find out there is no way to stop it happening.
Being made so much later than the other, the special effects are amazing.
The set piece chase between a fire truck, and a crane is just awesome! Cannot wait for it on Blu-Ray!
But just as it gets going.. it finishes.. with the prospect of no more Arnie in any further films.. beyond comprehension!
As stated, my partner watched all three with me the other week, and enjoyed them all.

EXCELLENT FILM - FULL OF ACTION AND SPECIAL EFFECTS. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. A GREAT FOLLOW UP TO TERMINATOR AND TERMINATOR 2. MY SON ALSO ENJOYS PLAYING THE TERMINATOR ON PLAYSTATION

like i saida very good dvd and there wos a qick and rapid response and my best wishers 2 u and your family and its been a plesure buying from u and i hope 2 buy from u again and cheers

The Terminator is a character idolized by thousands of people around the world. The imagery - along with unconscious symbols - made this character an icon for generations.

Jim Cameron ingenuity (with the help of Bill Wisher) gave us two movies that complement each other, folding the story in ways ever more interesting each time you watch them.

Action packed, fun and original. We helped spread the word on Terminator mythology.

How come a movie studio using their rights to use a character build up such a opportunity-jackpot-halfbaked popcorn movie just to make cash out of loyalty of this huge fan base?

I felt betrayed and sad when I saw this (God permits) last installment on this sequel. What have they done to my robot?

What did they do with my movie?
