Amazon.co.uk Review
With Breakdown and U-571 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 Jurassic Park III in returning the Terminator franchise to its potent B-movie roots. --Jeff Shannon
On the DVD: Terminator 3 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.
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. --Doug Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars
Constantly menacing baddie,
By
This review is from: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray] [2009][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
I think the best thing about this film is the sense of surprising scariness that the baddie lady robot brings to this movie. First time I saw it, that was all I remembered about it, the scary robot. But I was disappointed with the way it ended. However, when I watched it again on this Blu-ray set, the whole thing made a bit more coherent sense and actually the ending was quite fitting and the film has gone up a notch in my estimation. The arnie T1 and T2 cliches return, and some of them work and some don't. A sense of self parody there but it's harmless fun. The menacing robot lady is just as scary watching the film second time round, and the film starts with and builds eve more tension very effectively throughout. The transfer to Blu-ray is very good and I'm glad I got this edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars
good but not great,
By
This review is from: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray] [2009][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Termninator3 is probably the weakest of the 4 films but its not a total disaster. Ok, so its not as menacing as the first 2 films and the "funny" bits are unwanted but its still a decent action film. The bluray is good quality and picture is nice and crisp as you would expect. Take it for what it is.... a continuation of the Terminator series thats not as good as the first 2...just try and look away at the attempted humour momemts, they just don't fit in a Terminator film!

This Blu Ray won't disappoint you,
By
This review is from: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray] [2009][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
As it was released few months ago, the quality of this blu ray is up to 2009 standard, lots of extra and lossless soundtrack.
This is superior to the US version which contains dolby 5.1 soundtrack.
