Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD]

Amazon.com

With a reported budget of $172 million, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines starts in high gear and never slows down. The apocalyptic "Judgment Day" of T2 was never prevented, only postponed: John Connor (Nick Stahl, replacing T2's Edward Furlong), now 22 and disconnected from society, is being pursued yet again, this time by the advanced T-X, a sleek "Terminatrix" (coldly expressionless Kristanna Loken) programmed to stop Connor from becoming the savior of humankind. Originally programmed as an assassin, a disadvantaged T-101 cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger, bidding fond farewell to his signature role) arrives from the future to join Connor and his old acquaintance Kate (Claire Danes) in thwarting the T-X's relentless pursuit. The plot presents a logical fulfillment of T2 prophesy, disposing of Connor's mother (Linda Hamilton is sorely missed) while computer-driven machines assume control, launching a nuclear nightmare that Connor must survive. With Breakdown and U-571 serving as worthy rehearsals for this cautionary epic of mass destruction, director Jonathan Mostow wisely avoids any stylistic connection to James Cameron's Terminator classics; instead he's crafted a fun, exciting popcorn thriller, humorous and yet still effectively nihilistic, and comparable to Jurassic Park III in returning the Terminator franchise to its potent B-movie roots. --Jeff Shannon

Description

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.

Had so much potential.......2007-09-17

T3 could have been the apex of a grand franchise. However, instead of epic battles between human militias against machines, this movie is just one long boring chasing scene. The most intersting part of the film is seeing the machines in the laboratory and the moment when they become self aware.

Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD].......2007-08-25

I already had the standard DVD version. I rate this movie a classic that is Schwarzengger's last Terminator movie & potentially his last movie overall. I also rate Terminator 3 a cut above Terminators 1 & 2. Few movies achieve bringing a mix of humour with action as this movie does not to mention an extremely beautiful woman in addition (that matches Schwarzie "blow for blow").

MST3K Fans Rejoice -- Rifftrax is Here!.......2007-08-24

Robots sent from the future into the past to kill people who will one day become important to the war against machines are like cockroaches - no matter how many of 'em you kill, there's always another, showing up one day naked in a little glowing ball of energy (the robots from the future, not cockroaches. Well, to be clear, the cockroaches show up naked as well, but without the little glowing ball of energy.) The point is, humanity's loss is our gain, as Terminator 3 offers another chance for Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger to show off his prodigious acting chops [i.e., his pecs]. Kristanna Loken co-stars as the ruthless Termanatrix, a superior model of robot with, I think you'll agree, a superior bare backside, altogether less hairy, not nearly as Austrian, with smooth, clean lines and a... anyway, back to the synopsis.

Arnold must protect John Connor (Nick Stahl) not only from the Terminatrix, but also, because the kid is a supremely annoying presence, from all those who want to slap him, and that encompasses everyone who has ever met him. Things get complicated when a whiny young irritant named Kate (Claire Danes) locks John into an unhygienic dog kennel and refuses to even worm him.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a big, dumb movie filled with big, dumb people. Kevin Murphy and Mike Nelson are two big, dumb guys who are just dumb enough to take it on!

Second DVD reveals the real "stars" of the film.......2007-06-17

Though the casting is perfect (Arnold again in his trademark role, Kristanna Loken as the sexy and equally as destructive "female" cyborg, and Nick Stahl appropriately looking like the spawn of Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn) and the direction and pacing is tight and relentless, the DVD provides insight into the technical artists that are responsible for the fantastic effects of the movie, along with the preceding films in the franchise.

The second DVD in the compilation profiles Stan Winston, visual effects director, and his talented staff as they explain the many "tricks" of the trade in the making of this movie.

Though it might be a bit disconcerting to discover the process behind "movie magic," just revelations are informative to those that are really into the technical aspects of filmmaking.

Much has changed in the almost twenty years since the first film was made and this sequel; and the filmmakers are anxious to explain the "how's" and "why's" of said change.

Good movie, looks amazing in HD.......2007-06-14

The video quality is nothing short of spectacular.

Horse lovers young and old will celebrate this utterly enjoyable and marvelous-looking animated film. The titular stallion runs free in the Cimarron (New Mexico) wilderness until a series of men try to master the proud horse, leading to adventures through a U.S. Cavalry fort, Native American settlements, and a railroad camp. Despite a heavy dose of political correctness and realism (the animals don't talk; we only hear Spirit's internal monologue, voiced by Matt Damon), directors Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook give their hero many only-in-a-movie moments, including an action sequence rivaling any of Rambo's escapes. The stirring mix of 2-D and 3-D animation is absolutely stunning and aptly fueled by composer Hans Zimmer's synthesized score. The film earns one demerit for '80s rocker Bryan Adams's abundant songs--a different singer could have brought more to the film. Rated G but there is some rough treatment of horses shown, so nix the sensitive preschoolers. --Doug Thomas

My kids love this movie.......2007-09-11

We rent 95% of our kid's movies. This is one of the very few movies I just had to come to Amazon to buy. Both my 3 year old son and 5 year old daughter just can't get enough of it. I got it at first because so many movies out there are "girl" oriented and I wanted something for my son to watch that was a little "rough and tumble" but didn't include violence. This one does have a female horse that Spirit comes to care for, but no gushy love stuff. I also really appreciate that the animals don't talk, though you hear Spirit's thoughts as narrative.

The gist of the movie is that Spirit is a wild stallion captured by Union forces while they are building the first railroad track across the country. Through sheer will he escapes (with some help from a captured Native American man). He then is captured by his Native American tribe who treat him kindly, but Spirit will not let himself be broken. Out of respect for his spirit (pun intended), the Native American man lets him go free. Unfortunately, the Union soldiers attack and, after some (kind of sad) adventure, Spirit is once again captured by the soldiers. The Native American man sets out to free his "friend"...but arrives a little late. Spirit has escaped again, but does need the man's help to survive his escape. In the end, the Native American man brings him home where Spirit finds the mare he thought had died after the attack. Spirit is overjoyed to not only find her safe but that her "two legged" is willing to let her go with him back to the Cimarron herd. (Actually, she could have gone earlier but wouldn't go because her "two legged" needed her.) In the end, Spirit never gives in to letting the "two legged" ride him, but they part with friendship, dignity and respect on both sides.

I have to say, I think I love this movie more than the kids! I fully expected Spirit to let himself be rode as a show of friendship at the end, but he still doesn't. This is my favorite part I suppose, the moral that even if you care deeply for someone it is important never to compromise your principles no matter what they may wish you to do.

Just so you know, there is some shooting when the soldiers attack, but all you see are the Native Americans running, no blood or anything really scary. There are two scenes where the Captain point blank attempts to shoot first Spirit (the gun is knocked away as it shoots by the Native American man) and then the Native American Man (Spirit knocks the gun away as it shoots), but no one is shown hurt by gunfire. These scenes started some interesting conversations with my 5 year old about how Native Americans were treated when "we" took over this land.

Spirit is a Favorite.......2007-08-11

My two granddaughters, aged 3 and 4 love this movie, watching it over and over again. However, they were joined whenever possible by their mom, dad, uncle, and grandparents very often - we all loved it. It has got the girls interested in all things Indian, a topic they had not been familiar with before. An A++ for this well-produced movie!!

Based on the writings of Australian author Mark "Chopper" Read, a real-life criminal who recounts his misdeeds (including the severing of his own ears to win release) in books with titles like How to Shoot Friends and Influence People, Chopper is a stomach-churning spectacle from which you cannot pull away. In the opening scene of Andrew Dominik's vicious first film, Chopper jabs a man's face full of holes with pliers and proceeds to offer him a cigarette while he lies bleeding to death on a prison floor; contrite but obviously mad, he then asks sincerely, "You don't like me much, do you?" Somehow it's grotesquely funny. Shooting in bleached-out blue prison cells and corrosively lit nightclubs and flats, Dominik sets a spare stage for the film's true revelation, standup comic Eric Bana's explosive debut. Reminiscent in scale of Russell Crowe's first lead outing as a sadistic skinhead in Romper Stomper, Bana's performance is at turns fearsome, hilarious, and mesmerizing. --Fionn Meade

Description

Chopper (Eric Bana) is Mark "Chopper" Read, real-life convict and bestselling author of "How to Shoot Friends and Influence People." His story is frightening, savagely funny and twisted. The son of a devoutly religious mother and a one-time soldier with a fondness for sleeping alongside a loaded gun, Chopper dreams of making a name for himself as a legendary crime figure. His journey starts out as a wisecracking criminal failure, inside a maximum-security prison, but he manages to twist his life into a fascinating and wickedly funny take that the press and the public can't get enough of. Audio Commentary by director Andrew Dominik and Mark "Chopper" Read; Deleted Footage; Trailer; Interview with Mark Read

Customer Reviews:

Eric Bana - A Stellar Performance .......2007-05-18

I absolutely love this movie!
Chopper is an enigmatic strikingly honest and tongue in cheek view of a large part of the life of Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read.
Since watching the movie I have visited his website and I encourage everyone reading these reviews to Google Mark Chopper Read and visit his site.
I found the link to his "Quotes" most entertaining!

Back onto the topic of Eric Bana and his performance. It is rare that an actor is able to immerse him/herself so completely in a character and be utterly convincing.
Bana does this with aplomb and must be given kudo's for this. His mannerisms are undistinguishable from Mark Read's. The way he talks and even ennunciates his words. The weight gained for the later years of Chopper's life lends even more authenticity to Bana's performance.

All in all a rather funny and honest look at the effect the press can have in raising someone to glorious heights. Whether deserving or not.

Best Book Ever.......2007-05-14

Simply the best book i have ever read. Mark Chopper Brandon Read is the man and i am buying all his books as i am sure they are as awesome as this one.

Great Movie, Great Actor.......2007-05-13

I had never heard of this movie or Eric Bana until I borrowed this movie from a friend. All I can say is wow, what a performance. The physical transformation undergone by Eric Bana in this film is amazing - comparable to that of Robert DiNero in Raging Bull.

Definately not a film for the faint of heart. There are some pretty graphic (violent) scenes in this movie. Yet, the film manages to mix in a good dose of humor.

If you like dark comedies, you will like this film.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.......2006-10-12

When i first heard Eric Bana was going to play the part of the famous, or should I say infamous Mark 'Chopper' Read, I couldn't believe my ears. I never thought he'd pull it off. You see Eric was a very well known stand up comic in Australia and had appeared in many television sketch shows before breaking into his first film role in 'the castle'. It wasn't until I actually saw the movie chopper you get an appreciation of what a great actor Eric really is.
Being a comic actor also enables Eric to mimic characters, and he has copied Chopper Read very well, right down to every fine detail. His look, walk, speech and even his laugh. You can see in the special features when Eric meets the real Chopper Read, the way he soaks up everything Mark has to say, his look of intent in his eyes learning everything about his character. There was also the 4 hours of make-up each morning before shoot getting all his skin tattooed for the camera. And the 3 months binge eating of junk food to gain the extra 30 kgs needed to play the older chopper in the movie.
I would have to say this is the best acting by an Australian in a long time and Im so glad he is getting the the recognition he deserves.
As far as the movie goes itself, I would say it is a dark comedy, often violent at times and contrary to belief it is actaully about 80% true. It is a good insight into the mind of psychotic social misfit.
The special features are excellent with two audio commentaries. One by the director and another by chopper himself, which itself is very entertaining to listen to. A great insight.
There is also a trailer, deleted scenes and A weekend with Chopper - when the director and star Eric Bana interviewed chopper on his farm in Tasmania.
A great movie, also look out for Vince Colosimo who plays Neville Bartos. A name you will definitely be hearing more of in the future.

overated.......2006-09-29

all of these positive reviews puzzle me..i was expecting this movie to at least be watchable,..it's not..the story is obviously 80% dramatized but he claims it's real. you'd think it wouldn't be as boring as it was..a lot of things are dumb and pointless in this movie. it wasn't even that violent. the movie is kind of a joke if you ask me..it's not even worth the rent..i watched an hour and had enough

American Chopper The Series - Second Season.......2006-02-12

I have to say season two is just as excellent as one. The Teutuls haven't changed they still love to argue about as much as they love to build bikes. The POW/MIA Chopper Sr. creates along with the help of Rick, Cody, Mikey and Campo is incredable. The custom paint job designed by Justin Barnes is far beyond awesome. The same goes for the Snap-On bike and the Miller Welding bike, Paul Jr and Vinnie out done themselves with the creation of these bikes and of course Justin's paint work was bitchin as usual. I understand an agree with Sr's desire to keep the shop presentable however, I was pissed Sr. placed the responsibilty of shop cleanliness on Vinnie, this is really where Jr's work ethics come into question as a shop foreman he should have shouldered the responsibilty in ensuring everyone who works in there cleans up after themselves. It did say alot about Vinnie's character and commitment to the company that he not only took the brunt of Sr's anger over shop cleanilness he aggressivly worked to clean it up and got back to working on the bike without missing a beat. Overall again I believe most people who watch American Chopper or Motorcycle Mania will be forever hooked.

Another Great Season.......2005-10-22

This set is the second season of American Chopper. I am pleased to say I don't think there was as many screaming matches in this series as there was in the first. Although they still do have a couple of doosies and in one episode you have to wonder why Vinnie doesn't quit in disgust! There did feel like there was a couple of "filler" episodes with this series, in particular the Football Bike and Mikey Special. The Mikey Special was just a wrap-up of what we have already seen in the last two seasons so I felt it was a waste of space. Regardless of that, still enjoyed the second series immensely and am hanging to buy the third!

Nice bikes, talented builders, and some comedic moments. By the way, the Dixie Chopper episodes are on season 3...it's right there on the cover of the box.

personal vendetta?.......2005-07-14

Oh Mr. Grizzly. Six times? What overkill! First of all, Sr. owns the business. He doesn't have to build the bikes; he has employees for that. His job is MANAGING, which involves paperwork and bossing people around. Regardless, he has built bikes on the show. In the first season he built the old school bike with Cody and a bike for Miss Lucy; in the second season he built the Christmas bike and the POW bike. As far as people who don't own motorcycles buying OCC merchandise: what a ridiculous statement. Do I have to be a doctor to enjoy ER? Do I have to be a SPY to enjoy Alias? Do I have to be dead to enjoy Six Feet Under? Of course not.

American Chopper is not just a show about motorcycles. It's about family dynamics, work, friendship and craft. Most of the bikes built are ART; and the Teutuls themselves admit that the ones with the huge turning radii aren't meant to be ridden, for the same reason you wouldn't hang a Degas over your couch.

As much as I love the show, I do have a problem with the box set not including all the episodes of the season. There seems to be no good reason for the omission, but I'm not going to throw a hissy SIX TIMES over it.

Let's just say Dr. Phil wouldn't last 10 minutes with the squabbling Teutels of Orange County Choppers in Rock Tavern, New York. American Choppers, the wildly entertaining reality series from cable's Discovery Channel, is a hybrid television show blending serious family dysfunction with gearhead razzmatazz and deadline tensions in a motor shop (as with that other Discovery series, Monster Garage, where nonconformist engineers work frantically to build unique vehicles). Choppers concerns generational feuding between two highly talented designers and builders of one-of-a-kind, sometimes beautiful choppers (no, no--don't call them motorcycles), a father-and-son team who happen to share the same name. Fiftysomething Paul Teutel Sr. is the walrus-mustachioed owner of OCC, a boulder of a man with a sharp tongue, ironic sense of humor (he's the first to laugh hysterically when he and his son, simultaneously backing out of OCC's icy driveway in a macho display of speed, collide their trucks) and passive-aggressive tendencies. Even to a casual viewer, Paul Jr., OCC's Chief Fabricator and Designer, is clearly the target of his dad's mid-life anxiety over creeping irrelevancy. But the younger Teutel has a nasty streak, too, especially a working knowledge of how to make his father feel isolated, marginalized, even unloved.

Most of the 13 episodes in this boxed set find Paul Jr. immersed in some kind of expensive project, building a spidery display chopper for a big trade show in New York City, a NASCAR-themed bike for a special event, or a Firebike to honor the fallen firefighters of 9/11. In each case, Paul Sr. hovers over his son's shoulder, observing skeptically, criticizing one or another detail, barking about the schedule. Junior fights back, attacking what he perceives as the old man's cluelessness, mocking his unwanted efforts to collaborate. It's ugly, but it's also compelling and somehow even fun--perhaps because both men are so transparent in their complementary issues. Not every episode is full of friction; there are lighter moments and times of emotional release and bonding. Late in the season, when Junior's brother Mikey gets involved in the family business, an added layer of sibling rivalry brings a whole new dimension to this unusual psychodrama. --Tom Keogh

My students love American Chopper DVD's.......2007-03-14

I have used the American Chopper series in my Management 101 class for a couple of years. Rather than have students role play various scenarios, I pull out sections of the escapes of the guy's at OCC to discuss issues and concepts of management and supervision. Both entertaining and informative.

KEEEEP BUILDING.......2006-03-25

I really like this show. And since I didn't start watching it untill the middle of the third season, I bought the DVD. However, upon consideration. I may buy all of the seasons offered since shows made for the Discovery Channel are unlikely to show up in syndicaton on some other network.

Orange County Choppers-Season One.......2006-02-01

What can I say, I am addicted! The personalities of Paul Sr and Paul Jr and son, Mickey, along with their valuable employees (Vinnie, Rick, etc.) is quite entertaining. Not only do they build "dream" bikes, but it's fun to get a glimpse of a successful business and its daily operation and the adulation that it has brought them. An American Dream, that's what it is. As an owner of a small business myself, I wish I could get away with yelling at my daughter, the way Sr yells at Jr, and not have her talk back to me in a disrespectful way. Hats off to Jr......if you love motorcycles, buy this series, fun fun fun!

I Love the OC.......2005-10-26

Description

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.
