Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines Review

Here is a link to our review of T3...

http://www.upcomingdiscs.com/dvd_rev...re=date_posted

Here is a taste:

"Let me spell this out for you… R-E-F-E-R-E-N-C-E."

"This may not be the best film, but this sure is one excellent DVD. The audio, video, and extras are all top-notch. You should really check this disc out."

Loved the film and will love the disc, I'm sure. Most happy high-profile movie surprise of the summer. Mostow did a great job. I knew it would make an impressive DVD.

well, somebody mentioned it that the director said that he's going to release director's cut or possible of double-dipping (milking) this dry....

but it's already 2 disc... kind of hard to believe that they still want to re-relase this again....

but ya never know

i have the Hong Kong edition and heard the commentaries (well, most of it). i never found myself compelled enough to listen to commentaries but the 2 commentaries were well informative.

Arnold's commentary portion was funny, just listening to him speak in his Austrian accent.

T3 DVD more family friendly

Having seen the theatrical release, I wasn't too impressed with the re-edited terminatrix entry scene, but I suppose it is more family friendly with the frontal nudity edited out.

Is there really nudity edited out? My crappy theater never even got it so I didn't have a chance to see it in the theater.

Yes. They'll probably use that as a hook to get you to buy the "director's cut."

While i did put out my money for the part 2 of Terminator. I'll stick to the dvd of Part 3 and not bother with any other cut that may come out later. Part 3 was ok but it definitely wasn't all that.

I liked T3 a lot more than I thought I would. The action sequences were amazing, and made the movie move along at a very brisk pace. The sound was simply stunning--it is definitely my new reference disc for my sound system. If there is a future release of T3 in a director's cut then you can count me in.

I just finished watching mine and have to say wow. I thought T2 was awesome but I think this was even better. The auto chase action scene to me was the best I've ever seen. Even without being THX certified or DTS, the sound was amazing. This was a blind buy for me and possibly my best one ever. I would say best but Finding Nemo last week was a great blind buy too.
