'''Nicknames:''' "The Science of Sensation", "Science"

'''Trailer:''' We first see a pitch-black screen, but then we see the words "THE SCIENCE OF SENSATION" (in capital letters) coming at us each two words at a time (like the "Broadway 2000" trailer) and as a {{color|purple}} flare appears under the 'O', the words suddenly fade out by spreading apart. Then, the THX logo and the text "CERTIFIED CINEMA" appears, with a faint shine where the 'O' used to be. The logo shines with a flare coming down on the "T". WWW.THX.COM and the copyright at the bottom appear.

'''Variants:'''

* A 4:3 version is used on full-screen DVDs and the UK VHS of ''Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith''.

* The UK VHS of the above simply shows "CERTIFIED" under THX.

* Certified DVDs show "CERTIFIED DVD" under THX.

* On [[THX_Certified_Games#3rd_Trailer_(October_18,_2005-September_25,_2006)|some select certified games]], the logo begins with the Deep Note already building up, and with the phrase "Experience THX" fading in instead. When the THX logo fades in, there is no whooshing sound effects and no lens flare on the shine running along the bottom of the logo. Underneath the logo, it says, "CERTIFIED GAME". The Deep Note and logo then fade out.

'''FX/SFX:''' "THE SCIENCE OF SENSATION" text spreading out, the shine mark, and the THX logo shining.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A remastered Deep Note, some shining sounds, and whooshes. In this remastered Deep Note, some voices are reminiscent of the newer ones from the Broadway 2000 version, and some of the voices reach their final pitches before the others do.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Can be seen on the DVDs of ''Titanic: Special Collector's Edition'', ''Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith'', and the Japanese DVD of ''Lorelei: The Witch of The Pacific Ocean'' (debut). It's also seen in some THX theaters. The VHS version is limited to the rare ''Revenge of the Sith'' UK tape. Also used on the Monster Music DVDs of ''3 Doors Down Away from the Sun'' and ''Peter Cincotti: Live in New York'' as well as the French DVD releases of ''Land of the Dead,'' ''Mr and Mrs. Smith'' and ''Sin City''. This also appears on the Monster Music SuperDisc DVDs of ''Ray Charles: Genius Loves Company'', ''A Charlie Brown Christmas: Vince Guaraldi Trio'' and ''40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas'' when you select the THX Optimizer option. This also makes a surprise appearance on the French DVD of ''Cinderella Special Edition''.

'''Editor's Note:''' On home media releases, it could catch people off-guard the first time if they were expecting the DVD version of the Broadway trailer thanks to the unsettling nature of the trailer. That said, it's one of the more unimpressive THX logos out there.
