Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD]

Amazon.com

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

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.

Had so much potential.......2007-09-17

T3 could have been the apex of a grand franchise. However, instead of epic battles between human militias against machines, this movie is just one long boring chasing scene. The most intersting part of the film is seeing the machines in the laboratory and the moment when they become self aware.

Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD].......2007-08-25

I already had the standard DVD version. I rate this movie a classic that is Schwarzengger's last Terminator movie & potentially his last movie overall. I also rate Terminator 3 a cut above Terminators 1 & 2. Few movies achieve bringing a mix of humour with action as this movie does not to mention an extremely beautiful woman in addition (that matches Schwarzie "blow for blow").

Robots sent from the future into the past to kill people who will one day become important to the war against machines are like cockroaches - no matter how many of 'em you kill, there's always another, showing up one day naked in a little glowing ball of energy (the robots from the future, not cockroaches. Well, to be clear, the cockroaches show up naked as well, but without the little glowing ball of energy.) The point is, humanity's loss is our gain, as Terminator 3 offers another chance for Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger to show off his prodigious acting chops [i.e., his pecs]. Kristanna Loken co-stars as the ruthless Termanatrix, a superior model of robot with, I think you'll agree, a superior bare backside, altogether less hairy, not nearly as Austrian, with smooth, clean lines and a... anyway, back to the synopsis.

Arnold must protect John Connor (Nick Stahl) not only from the Terminatrix, but also, because the kid is a supremely annoying presence, from all those who want to slap him, and that encompasses everyone who has ever met him. Things get complicated when a whiny young irritant named Kate (Claire Danes) locks John into an unhygienic dog kennel and refuses to even worm him.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a big, dumb movie filled with big, dumb people. Kevin Murphy and Mike Nelson are two big, dumb guys who are just dumb enough to take it on!

Second DVD reveals the real "stars" of the film.......2007-06-17

Though the casting is perfect (Arnold again in his trademark role, Kristanna Loken as the sexy and equally as destructive "female" cyborg, and Nick Stahl appropriately looking like the spawn of Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn) and the direction and pacing is tight and relentless, the DVD provides insight into the technical artists that are responsible for the fantastic effects of the movie, along with the preceding films in the franchise.

The second DVD in the compilation profiles Stan Winston, visual effects director, and his talented staff as they explain the many "tricks" of the trade in the making of this movie.

Though it might be a bit disconcerting to discover the process behind "movie magic," just revelations are informative to those that are really into the technical aspects of filmmaking.

Much has changed in the almost twenty years since the first film was made and this sequel; and the filmmakers are anxious to explain the "how's" and "why's" of said change.

Good movie, looks amazing in HD.......2007-06-14

The video quality is nothing short of spectacular.

Product Description

Dix années se sont écoulées depuis que John Connor a sauvé l'humanité de la destruction totale. Désormais âgé de 22 ans, il vit clandestinement, sans foyer, sans travail, sans identité. Vivre sans laisser de traces est la seule façon dont John peut échapper à Skynet, le réseau global ultrasophistiqué de machines qui a déjà tenté de le tuer et de déclarer la guerre au genre humain. Mais voilà que les machines de Skynet parviennent à retrouver sa trace. Ils envoient alors vers le passé la T-X, une androïde nouvelle génération quasi invulnérable, pour éliminer le futur leader de la résistance humaine. Le seul espoir de survie de John repose sur le Terminator, son ancien ennemi... ~~~~~~~~~ A decade has passed since John Connor (Nick Stahl) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction.

Come on Arnold!.......2004-12-08

Is this the version of pumping iron I watched at my cousin's house. In that version, Arnold has a monologue about how much he likes cumming, and how weight lifting, and body building contests are like cumming, and so he's always cumming in some fashion. Then there's the version I saw in gym class, where the cumming monologue is edited out. I want to know if this one has the cumming or not. I like the cumming. It's funny to watch a young arnold with a rich, robust Austrian accent say the word cum like 7 times in a minute. I'll admit it, I'm only in it for the cumming. Terminator 3 sucked anyway.

After making his action-hero debut in 1988's Above the Law, Steven Seagal followed up with this typically formulaic action thriller, in which the ponytailed crime fighter is shot full of bullets and left for dead after he uncovers a powerful circle of corrupt politicians. After seven years in a coma, he returns to consciousness and is nursed back to health by--surprise, surprise!--a gorgeous woman, played by Seagal's then wife Kelly ("don't hate me because I'm beautiful") LeBrock. Once in peak condition, snarlin' Steve sets out to satisfy his hearty appetite for revenge, and the bone-crunching action kicks into high gear with the requisite chases, hand-to-hand combat, and escalating body count. This is one of Seagal's best vehicles, establishing the star's screen persona before it grew stale in later films. --Jeff Shannon
