The Terminator Terminator 2: Judgment Day Total Recall The Day After Tomorrow Predator
Description
"T2" grossed $204+ million, and now Golden Globe-winner Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the highly anticipated third chapter in the blockbuster franchise, directed by Jonathon Mostow ("U571," "From the Earth to the Moon"). Eight years ago, the machines who rule the future sent an unstoppable Terminator to assassinate the young John Connor. They failed. Now, they're trying again, and Connor must face a female Terminatrix together with power over all the machines. But a new T-800 unit Terminator sent back throughout time will guide him throughout the coming battle. Golden Globe winner Claire Danes ("The Hours," "The Mod Squad," "My So-Called Life") and supermodel Kristanna Loken ("Panic," "Gangland") co-star.

Macho Man   2010-08-06
By Van Halen Kurtz (Twin Oaks)
There's something unkillable about the idea of Terminator. Usually we (humans) get punished in the future for misdeeds we commit in the past or present. Take Star Trek IV, for one example out of millions. The Terminator idea, however, has it: we (humans) get punished in the past or present for misdeeds we commit in the future. That's a big Does Not Compute for ya there, captain. And so it goes compellingly into the future. No fate but what we make was the central code of Terminator 2 but Terminator 3 knows better. It's a sequel to a sequel and even the past has progressed along. Jonathan Mostow gives us the same movie which is what we demand but only bigger and badder and louder which is also what we demand. Expectations thwarted, cleverly ~ but only momentarily. There's less sentimentalism, less character development, less existential commotion and that's great. We all know machines are here to stay. Action. It's almost a silent film. Except for the sound of things exploding. Violence and strong language, that's why we're here. Fortunately there's no overreaching attempt to conjure up a catchy catchphrase ("Hasta la vista baby"). Schwarzenegger is gruffer than before, has less to say and is classy about it. "I'm an obsolete design." Kristanna Loken has Robert Patrick's act down clone cold. Little did anyone ever suspect in 1984, women's lib would have progressed so far that Arnold Schwarzenegger could plonk a urinal down hard across a babe's head and we'd all still be worried for his safety? Take a hint this isn't a battle of the sexes as much as showdown between Lexus-driving Xers and cowboy truck-driving boomers. Like Schwarzenegger's recalcitrant generation, Terminator 3 faces its dread of mortality and its fear of machines merely fleetingly before deciding either men or machines, it doesn't matter anymore, all we know is that heroes remain unkillable in either past, present or future.
The worst in the Terminator series   2010-08-03
By Carrot Top
This one is without a doubt the worst Terminator movie in the series. I didn't hate it, but it was only fun to watch the first time around. It's definitely the most violent, so if you're a total blood and gore fanatic you'll probably enjoy it more than I did. I love that kind of stuff, but it didn't seem to make me like it any better.
Great Blu-ray   2010-07-29
By Cliff (Virginia Beach)
The terminator series makes a great blu-ray dvd. Sounds and picture are an obvious improvement.

T3   2010-06-22
By Mark J. House (USA)
My favorite of the Terminator movies. The female terminator is HOT in this movie and I don't mean her microchips. Easily the best effects of all 4 movies. Worth more than you are probably paying for it.
