Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Description Set Contains: There's only one deleted scene in this two-disc DVD set, but it's a doozy.

The "Sgt.

Candy Scene" is a must-see and, unfortunately, the best thing on the second disc.

The rushed HBO documentary shows us far more flash than substance.

Better is the Visual Effects Lab that goes more in-depth with four sequences, although you need to wade through a hokey interface for each segment.

Making your "own" effects isn't that much fun; you can only choose a few effects that change in two scenes.

Anyone looking to get the complicated backstory of the trilogy figured out should dig into the "Sky Net Database" and an intricate timeline.

The two commentary tracks are worth a listen, with director Jonathan Mostow's solo track the better one.

The director goes into great detail on how the little things (from lighting street scenes to tricks for destroying buildings) count.

The second track is pieced together from the actors recorded separately.

Mostow appears with actress Claire Danes (doing her first commentary track) and their chemistry is enjoyable after a slow start.

The other actors have less interesting things to say, including Schwarzenegger who is constantly--yet enthusiastically--selling the film.
