Editorial Review:
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.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/HEROES UPC: 883929016938 Manufacturer No: 1000038308
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray] Reviews:
A Solid Sequel With Demo Worthy Audio 
2008-08-22 - I've liked this movie since I first saw it in the theater but my fondness for the film has only grown since it's home versions.
The story is good, the acting is fine, I actually like Nick Stahl alot better than Edward Furlong as John Connor, the graphics and action are excellent but my favorite feature is the fantastic sound design. This is one of my top ten favorite movies for sound. It's among the first I pop in to try out a new sound system. Every one of the action bits here is grade "A" demo material.
The standard dvd was very good on it's own but the Blu Ray is just that much better. Paramount has transfered over the HD DVD master here but that's nothing to complain about as the chases, gun fights, explosions and all the lovely sounds of twisted and contorting metal are dynamically presented in high bit rate Dolby Digital Plus. You may want to tape your windows because your subwoofer will just about blow them out from all the booming your gonna get here.
The video, while not the most impressive on Blu Ray, is still a nice improvement over the standard def release. The picture is pretty clean and free of dirt and other distracting blemishes. The details are pretty sharp and the colors can pop from time to time. It could've been better but it's still a pretty good transfer.
I've heard far too many complaints about this movie but I find it to be fun, action packed and a fine sequel to the Terminator franchise. I don't think it right to constantly compare it with the previous two, but rather to rate it on it's own merits. Either way, T3 moved the story along nicely and set a nice premise for the upcoming T4 sequel which is in the works now. From start to finish though, this is a fun, fast-paced film and a worthy upgrade for fans and Blu Ray owners. Highly recommended.
ARNOLDNATOR IS BACK!. 
2008-07-24 - TERMINATOR 3 BLU RAY WAS OK, UNLIKE 1 AND 2 WHICH ON BLU RAY WERE AWSOME.
ARNOLD WAS LOOKING ABIT OLD IN THIS MOVIE, WHICH MADE IT HARD TO WATCH, BUT HE DID MANAGE TO STILL PULL IF OFF.
IF YOU HAVE A DVD BLU RAY PLAYER, RENT THIS MOVIE FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY, YOUR REGULAR DVD VERSION OF THIS FILM WILL UPCONVERT QUITE WELL, SO IF YOU ARE A FAN LIKE ME YOUL'LL PROBABLY STILL ADD THIS ONE TO YOUR COLLECTION.
