So what did you think of the third flick?

I thought it was almost the equal of the first, but in a very different way. However, I still admit to having problems with the "liquid metal" technology....
BUT, T:S avoided that! It's like, you can watch T, and then T:S & skip the others!

Is it worth seeing the unrated version? Are there many differences aside from blood, swearing etc?

Hey, about that one, is it just me, or does the 5.1 seem REALLY inferiour to the original mono soundtrack on the DVD? I mean, they added some cool little audio touches, but it just seems bland in comparison to the sharper mono, IMHO.

Can't figure what would be considered hilarious about that movie. It was filmed on a tight budget, but the acting is great, and the story is solid.

I've read a great deal about this, and it's just an F bomb or two, a bloodier stabbing & Moon Bloodgood's breasts for a brief moment. Nothing very significant. I'd buy it on DVD, but it's only on blu-ray, and I'm NOT going blue just for that.

It struck me as a movie version of a Firefly comic- not absolutely necessary, but a very entertaining little diversion.
As opposed to T3, which I found insulting.

I avoided until now, but lack-O-new stuff made me buy it on the cheap out of curiosity.
I recommend a rental or cheap buy here!

Anyone else think it was worth a viewing?

All the differences (4 minute's worth, less actually, considering):

(Click on "Watch On Youtube" after it denies the embedding)

Interesting, but in no way amazing. In fact, it's probably better left out IMO.

He even said specifically that it wouldn't be one of those director's cut's that just adds 3-4 minutes.

Nah.

We had a jet-black ending. Connor dies, we're in a room with all the people we care about. You take Connor's likeness, you put it on the living machine of Marcus. He sits up, now looking like Christian Bale, takes a gun, kills Kate, kills Kyle, kills Star, kills everybody, eyes flare red, [snaps] the end.

*THE OTHER DARK ENDING*

the mechanical Marcus takes over as Connor and goes on to lead the resistance. It's essentially a secret to everybody, except the inner circle, that John Connor is now a robot, is now a Terminator. We're going for some irony there.
