Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good movie, not as good as terminator 2, but still good.

It ok not what I expected the first one was better

It was a ok movie. Action was good, female terminator was hot, but story has holes and acting is weak. completes the terminator series.

Definitely not the best in the franchise. I would not recommend it.

Had to complete the bluray collection of original Terminator trilogy on bluray. $8 got me the bluray/dvd & ultraviolet copy.

This movie was ok, fun to watch, but not as great as some of the other Terminator movies that I love to watch over and over.

I saw this when it first came out and enjoyed it. I got this in order to complete my blue collect of Terminator series.

This story was necessary but it was a little boring to me.

An ok addition to the TERMINATOR saga, but enjoyable.

Not as good as either of the first two Terminator films, but also not as bad as some have said.

It was better than I expected. Recommend for the price.

Not the greatest entry in the franchise, but good to complete the collection

This is a weak effort to continue a story that ended long ago.

This movie isn't as good as the other terminator films

This is by far the weakest movie in the entire franchise. The only reason I would recommend this movie is if you needed to fill out your collection of these movies.

You should only buy this movie if you are buying the entire collection.

Not a very interesting movie , I would not buy it .

THE MOVIE: I won't defend "T3" anymore than necessary here. It isn't a great movie, and it is not on the level of James Cameron's movies. It works splendidly as a robotic action thriller with a specific mission to entertain the eyes (and not much else). The visual and practical F/X are generally top-notch, and while it looks nothing like the first two movies, it tries hard to follow their structure and rules. "T3" comes truly alive in the final act, as though the movie itself didn't have a heart until that point. I'm referring to the moment where Skynet takes over, or close to it. When the T-800 says that THIS IS Judgment Day the movie gets serious, and you're hooked until the end (if you can forgive the clunky first two acts). Nick Stahl is an odd but passable choice as John Connor. He actually resembles Michael Biehn from the original movie more than Edward Furlong; when looking at him in this context it is not as distracting. Schwarzenegger, while looking a bit older, still fits the part comfortably. The script is the weakest element, forcing moments on us such as the "Funky Monkey" scene at the AM-PM. Some of the most embarrassing moments of the saga happen in this third film, largely due to hammy dialogue and some atrocious continuity regarding the first two movies. All things considered it is not the travesty it could have been. It isn't as bad as many have said, but it IS following in the footsteps of two genre masterpieces and that has almost never been an easy act. Now that we have a fourth picture set in the future post-JD in "Salvation," "Rise of the Machines" is a far more forgivable entry. THE DISC: No complaints here. This has a pristine transfer, which looks excellent in 1080i. I have read complaints about "T3" being encoded in 1080i and not 1080p, but as I have no way of testing for 1080p I can't confirm whether this has been corrected. I would assume so, as this film was off the shelf for a long time at BB and just popped back up the other day. The extras are not bad at all, giving a total of three commentaries. A BD exclusive is the crew commentary, something I appreciated. It included the writers of the film- a commentary rarity- and the director, as well as the cinematographer. It also has a BD-exclusive "In-Movie" experience, which showcases production footage while you watch the movie. A handful of featurettes are included as well. In closing my review of "4 stars" is reflective of both the movie and the Blu Ray presentation. The movie itself would get 3/5; the disc is practically flawless as it gave me everything I wanted to know about "T3."

It is a good movie in my opinion. The way Arnold for an older man beefed up for the part was pretty amazing. Didn't care too much for Nick Stahl's acting as John Connor ,but the story and action were pretty good. It looks amazing in blu-ray and the sound is superb. It is not better than Terminator 2 or even Terminator Salvation but hey for 10 bucks or less you will watch it again and again. The story and action make it worth the price even though the acting is painful at times.

Many have railed on this sequel... but consider... no, it isn't as good as Terminator or T2... but on its own merits is a really good sci-fi/action film. Some don't like that it takes a few liberties on previous plot-points, but that's how you get sequels... everything changes over time. This is a strong contender, and essentially finishes the "trilogy" of Arnie movies. The movie and TV show that followed were Arnie-free and had a vastly different feel to them.
