Summary: Great Flick but terrible sound transfer....
Review: I am very dissapointed with the sound in this DVD, I own the VHS version of this movie and the sound on that is much better. Theres a scene where Arnold goes to the 1st Sarah Conners house, when he puts the red dot on her forehead and shoots, the gun sounds like a cap gun. In the VHS version it sounds like a cannon....wow, what a waste...this is the reason DVD is not all its cracked up to be....i will stick with the VHS version just for the soundtrack... way better than this crap.

Summary: One of the best ever made
Review: The Terminator is one of the greatest action sci-fi films ever made. It has one of the best performances of Arnold Schwarzenegger's historic carear. In 1984 the world is safe. Safe that is until The Terminator(Schwarzenegger) appears and stars killing woman. He's looking for Sarah Connor(Hamilton). He's been sent from the year 2029 to kill Sarah Connor the mother of the son she hasn't had yet who will one day stop the machines. The Terminator is a cyborg. He has a skin outside with a metal exo-skeleton and he has one purpose....to kill. Sarah knows she is in trouble and she's scared. She meets up with Kyle Reese(Biehn) who warns her of the danger. She is skeptic at first but goes with Kyle. The Terminator will not stop however and Kyle and Sarah must find a way to stop this killing machine before it kills them. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the man in this film. He was originally cast to play Kyle, but after he read the script he said wanted the part of the bad guy. He plays it to perfection. He has very few lines in the film, but he is terrifying in the movie. The whole look with the glasses and leather jackets and with Arnolds body makes one of the best bad guys ever. Actions speak louder than words in this movie. Arnold really is good enough in the moive to earn an Oscar nomination. You don't think they will ever take him down in the film, and the ending is great. Linda Hamilton is great as Sarah Connor. This is one of the best performances of her carear as well. If it weren't for Hamilton in this movie and Weaver in Aliens we wouldn't have the big woman action thriller that we have today. You like her in this a lot and she's even better in T2. The special effects are great in this movie. James Cameron's movies have always had great special effects Terminator is no exception. The movie is made so well. James Cameron really is the man and this guy really does deserve more credit in Hollywood. Very few directors over the years have made movies that are consistently good and Cameron has never made a bad film. He also needs credit for writing this masterpiece of a film. The Terminator is one of the greatest films ever made. It's a huge movie and especially with pop culture today. It's stood the test of time. The famous line "I'll be Back" is from this movie, but it's always been here. If you haven't seen this movie you must go pick it up and watch it. If you have and don't own it, go buy it now.

Summary: Sarah Connor will have her revenge.
Review: The only great movie in movie history where the sequel (T2) is slightly better than the original. Still, this one is terrific. It's low-budget and it's bad acting, and yet still the story and the beautifully crafted direction make it a contemporary classic. Really one of the best movies about robots trying to kill Linda Hamilton ever!

Summary: Terminator
Review: This movie was made in 1984 and it is still one of the best action movies ever made!! Arnold is at his best! There is NO match for The TERMINATOR! In 1984, writer/director James Cameron brought two warriors from a nuclear war-ravaged future to battle over the life of a young woman whose yet-unborn son will become the savior of mankind. Sarah Connor is the target of a killer cyborg from the year 2029 that has been sent to win a war against humanity by destroying her. All that stands between her and the TERMINATOR (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a young soldier sent back through time to protect her in this explosive action classic.
I'LL BE BACK!

Summary: Still Great After 20 Years
Review: This story of pre-apocalyptic murder and mayhem is still the thrill-ride it was when I first saw it in the theater in the mid-80's. While some of the effects look dated (not to mention the night-club fashions), this still holds up as a piece of low-budget/guerrilla film-making that transcends the genre. More than just a monster-of-the-week gorefest, The Terminator manages to create characters you care about, characters - Sarah Connor in particular - who actually, and believably, mature over the course of the movie. Although it falls into the "gorefest" category, Stan Winston & crew manage to put together some gut-wrenchingly realistic moments during the Terminator's self-surgery scenes. In addition to the movie in full- and wide-screen formats, the DVD also includes the original mono soundtrack and a new 5.1 stereo version. While the sound effects are better in the stereo version, the dialogue frequently sounds washed out under headphones - an actual surround-sound system may perform better, I don't know. There are a couple nice documentaries, and the production artwork is actually worth checking out (James Cameron's days in Roger Corman's art department really show here). About all that's missing are cast and crew commentaries, but a lot of that kind of content is included in the documentaries. If you've never seen The Terminator, you're missing one of greatest sci-fi/horror films of all times. This movie, Alien(s), and Blade Runner exemplify the Tech-Noir movement of the Eighties. That nothing has come close to rivaling them in the past decade and a half demonstrates how good these movies are. Check 'em out.

Summary: A Really Impressive piece of Film.
Review: Before watching this movie, I expected it to be that shallow piece of nonstop action kind of movies we had seen in some of the newer Shwartzenegger movies. This film truely shocked me. First of all, the story was great. James Cameron really does a wonderful job on any film he does. The acting was wonderful, especially Linda Hamilton. This wasn't average, or mediocre. It was really good. One of my favorite action movies. See this movie.

Review: All I wanna say is that this edition is a wonderful gift for all true fans of the film.There are 2 documentaries(the detailed discussion of the movie), still galleries,trailers, and..... Deleted scenes!!!(I was really surprised when I first saw them).
We also get crystal picture and 5.1 sound (I know many fans would agree that the original mono is still the best).
Amazing...

Summary: Remastered Classic Sci-Fi Movie
Review: In the year 2029 there takes place a war between man and machine. Skynet is the name of the cybornetic force trying to wipe out human kind. When Skynet is on the brink of extinction a T-1800 a.k.a a Terminator. It's mission is to wipe out the mother of John Conner, the leader of the human race. Sarah Conner (John Conner's Mother) is a normal 80's chick, she has a boyfriend who keeps on telling her to amke a raincheck on their dates. She lives with a roommate and has a pet lizard life is good. Then the Terminator is sent back to 1984 (the time in which she is living in). At that same time a human warrior from the future has come to protect her, Kyle Reese. Not knowing what he really is against he takes all precasions neccessary. The real battle of future fate of man doesn't take place in the future but in the past. In my opinion this is Arnolds best movie, it won't be forgotten easily. It is suspensful and will keep you guessing, will the terminator get her? The beginning is quite amazing, I mean it isn't mind blowing graphics for our time. If you look closely I think you might be able to see the strings. But the effects aren't what count. It is how the plot and film is portrayed. James Cameron did a superb job in filming this. The DVD features are actually quite interesting, you might keep yourself busy for a few hours watching them. I suggest watching this one before any of the sequels. Personally I think the sequels are a waste of time. The third one is better than the second one because it actually shows judgement day. The second one is alright because it has Linda Hamilton. We all will agree that Linda Hamilton is the real meat behind the series along thi Arnold Schwarzenegger. I strongly suggest that if you have seen this movie, or have good things about it then purchase it. It's worth the money. PARENTAL WARNING: There is Strong Language, Strong Graphic Violence/ Violent Images, Sexuality/Nudity AGE TO WATCH AT: I would think that by 14 or 15 you'd be ready to watch it. Thats when I watched it.
