Not Bad -  - This 2-disc DVD set is good. The motion picture is sharp and has surround sound. There's action, alot of special effects, and a little humor.
The special features tell the details of how the movie was made which has some humor in it and is very interesting.
Swarzeneggar said that he lifted weights for 3 months in preparation for this film so he'd look just as fit as he did in the other 2 Terminator movies. The actors tell what they had to do to prepare for their parts. It is told how the special effects were done.
This 2-disc DVD set might be worth buying.
You can't please everyone (well not nerds anyway) - - Well i liked Terminator 3, i found it right up there with the first two. I feel sorry for the director and cast trying to make this movie great, only to have a few nerds moan about every tiny detail about it.
I bet when T4 comes out, those same nerds will be saying "Wasn't as good as T3".
The HD transfer is great :)

First of all if you've never seen either of the other two other Terminator movies instantly change this rating to a five.
The First Terminator was excellent. The second was better than excellent. It actually improved on great special effects and the action scenes were even wilder. Number three was almost as good as number two but it didn't really show us anything that was brand new. The formula of action on top of action with great special effects to back it up was adhered to.
Nick Stahl is excellent as the twenty-something John Connor. He knows his fate is to be the savior of the human race. He'd just rather not do it at all.
Kristanna Loken is suitably mechanical as the T-X: The ultimate killing machine from the future. She's a sweet looking little robot too. Some teenage boy was sitting in front of us in the theatre shouted out during one of her rampages, "That girl could blow me death any time."
It was that kind of a movie.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is as always the perfect Terminator Robot. He's big and intimidating when he wants to be and a really great strait-faced comic also.
Termainator3: Rise Of The Machines is a great Saturday Matinee Movie. Don't look for deep meanings here. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Check it out!
Good Enough - - Its not the best of the terminator series, but being last doesn't make it bad.
Great sequel. Really. - - For all those people who say that there's no plot - go back and watch the film properly. There is a good story which culminates in the very last scene. The gags weren't half as bad as I expected them to be and those little moments of comic relief were necessary, 'cause the rest of the film was pretty damn serious. It's a very good continuation of the Terminator story and it's a brilliant movie when you keep in mind that it's part 3! Yes, this film is a bit different. Not that much different. Did I miss Linda Hamilton? No. Did I miss Edward Furlong? Hell, no! Did I miss James Cameron? - Hm, there's a certain emotional factor that Cameron would have inserted during the whole film, instead of just the ending. Anyway, especially for a follow up of an all time classic, I will give it 10 / 10 stars. There's one major plot hole ... but you can ignore that easily. Go watch it. Btw. the chase scenes are better than the one in the Matrix. Here, things get crushed for real. A lot. :) My 2003 cents.
