Summary: Much ado about the AUDIO
Review: I'm sure most reviewers have given some background information about the storyline of Terminator Spec. Ed but I will focus on the audio. I'm sure the fans of T1 are perhaps more into the original movie and like this film best of the 3 T's. This is where I want to give you notice: The audio is in a newly- mastered digital 5.1 stereo with the option for the original mono. I deducted a star for 1) how the digital stereo was enhanced and 2) the quality of the original mono. I was expecting that the new digital stereo would be a careful tweak of the original audio. And that is negative. The original mono has a cool sound of what seems like swords interacting with each other at the opening title. You hear it about 2- 3 times in mono, but for whatever "earthly" reason, the sound effect was deleted from the digital sound. Also, the experts placed the sound of a helicopter as the scene changed to where the stray dog walks through the streets and the camera moves into the alley for the scene with the homeless man, whose words were somewhat lost by the helicopter noise. There were absolutely no helicopter sounds at all in the original audio. I shook my head that the experts wanted to place additional sound fx into this classic. That's one reason I had to deduct from this DVD, whose video is cleaned up and has a more dramatic feel. The black level was darkened... My original experience with the Terminator video from a while ago was that the overall picture seemed muddy, which resulted in a lack of saturation, but this picture quality was much better, and had more contrast, which is needed for adding to the effect of dread. If you've never seen the movie before, I'm sure you'll appreciate the newly- enhanced and updated stereo. If you're a TRUE Terminator fanatic, you'll be slightly dismayed of the new insertions of audio that the producers felt we needed to have to help us enjoy a movie that really doesn't need much more since it was near- perfect already. As for the mono audio, I'm glad they kept this option with the movie. However, the audio could have been tweaked a bit better, because it seemed rather flat. The highs just weren't crisp enough. With a good mono track, it can almost mimic stereo, but the treble just puttered. So, 3 stars would be too harsh, and 5 aren't deserved because of the audio issues, to me.

Summary: Dangerous Robot
Review: There's a robot from the future who tries to kill Sarah o' Connor who is the mother of a boy who will destroy the robots. The robots controlled the future but their time was to end because of Sarah's boy. There's much exciting moments, for example when Terminator tries to kill them. The Treminator has already been afire but it's still working. The actors are all very good. The script is also very good. The beginning is quite boring but the film really starts when the Termintor starts killing all the Sarah o'Connors.

Summary: Your Terminated!
Review: This movie is awesome. Schwarzenegger is cast perfectly as a motionless cyborg. Mike Biehn plays as Kyle Reese who is Sarah Connor's (Linda Hamilton) personal bodyguard and lover. The story starts in the year 2029, where machines have taken over the world. To save the human cause, members of the resistance send back a lone warrior (Biehn) to protect Sarah Connor who's son is to become a leader of the rebels. The machines send back the T-800 series terminator to assassinate Sarah Connor. Then the fun starts. In this movie the Terminator ends the lives of at least 40 people. The best scene is the battle royale inside the TechNoir Club between Reese and the T-800 mid way through the movie.

Summary: WHEN HE CAME BACK-HE CAME BACK NICE?
Review: I'm say nice because of T2 and T3. They were kind of hokey.
The original is by far the best, with some dated special effects I'll admit, but who really gives.
A simple yet perfect plot.
In the 2025, machines rule. There is a human resistance but they're just skin and bone, fighting against metal.
But somehow the resistance fight back and destroy SKYNET. But it sends back one of its own to take out a key player in the resitance's mother.
Rewind to the 1980's. Happy Sarah Connor is completely, utterly happy. But then other Sarah Connor's begin to get murdered, execution style.
The culprit is Arnold Schwarzenegger, AKA the 'Terminator', a futuristic cyborg designed to kill.
Enters Reese, a human sent back by the resistance to protect Connor. Little does he know he'll soon get busy with her and make the baby that will save the world.
The Terminator continues to hunt them, until it comes down to the climax, in which the culprits behind the existence of the Terminator is revealed. Unfortunately, the ending has some incredibly Special FX. That lowered my over all rating, I know they couldn't help it but, it put me off.
(I really rate 4 1/2 but the review for doesn't have a half star)

Summary: THE ORIGINAL AND BEST
Review: Out of all the three terminator movies, this is the best one. Sure the special effects aren't as good as the other two because it is older, but who cares? The action is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arnold Schwarzenneger, who plays the Terminator, is sent back in time to destroy Sarah Connor. A military man, who has been hunting Terminator for a while, must save and protect Sarah and kill Terminator before it's too late. This special edition DVD has documentaries, trailers, deleted scenes, and more. If you like Terminator 2 and Terminator 3, you'll love this one even more. Get ready for eye-popping, jaw-breaking action when you watch this movie.

Summary: The Terminator
Review: In 2029 Los Angeles, where human and robots do battle, the androids send an uncompromising and unstoppable killing-machine (Arnold Schwarzenegger), back to the year 1984. He has been programmed to kill the woman who will give birth to the leader of the human resistance, Sarah Connor (Linda Harrison), thus changing the future. The humans send back a rebel soldier Kyle Reese (Michael Bihen) to protect Sarah. Executed in a vigorous and action-packed manner, "The Terminator" is excellent (and violent) entertainment. The most notable scene is the police station massacre. Arnold Schwarzenegger gives a laconic, chilling performance. Overall rating: 4 stars Rated R for strong violence, a scene depicts surgical treatment of an eye, language, nudity, and some sexual encounters.
