    The One That Started It All.. A Classic!

    The recent release of Terminator Dark Fate rekindled my love for the Terminator Franchise. The first Terminator film will always be special because it's the film that started it all. I'm so glad that I can have the crisp Blu-Ray edition. The quality is outstanding for a film that came out in 1984. I recommend owning the Blu-Ray version to any die hard Terminator fan and Sci-Fi fan in general. I hope it comes out on 4K one day. The movie itself is a classic. I love the tone and feel of the movie. T2 was more action and blockbuster, but this one is more of a thriller/sci-fi film. It's darker than T2 in the sense that you genuinely felt a sense of terror. The Terminator has no emotions whatsoever. He's cold, lifeless, and has one mission only. It's a thrilling movie with great sci-fi action and a compelling story with great characters. Also, this product comes with a digital code so you can watch the movie online.

    What showed up in the mail is nothing near what was advertised on the website. I purchased the copy of the film pictured and described for a reason. The copy I got was totally different. Disappoing experience.

    Part 1 of the greatest action movie of all Time!

    Terminator 2 is the greatest action movie of all time in my opinion. This is a prequel to Terminator 2 and at the time was a blockbuster on a mediocre budget and catapulted Cameron as a director and Arnold as the Action Hero

    Good value for a great movie. The blu ray makes a world of difference if you've only watched it in dvd in the past.

    A Fantastic Film from James Cameron

    The movie that helped launch Arnold Schwarzenegger and director James Cameron’s careers! The movie about a cyborg sent back to kill the mother of the future still holds up extremely well. Linda Hamilton is great as the innocent Sarah Connor who is thrown into a situation that she can’t comprehend at first before becoming one of the big screen’s strongest heroines! Michael Biehn also gives a great performance as Kyle Reese, the soldier from the future sent back to protect Sarah. Thrilling sci-fi action doesn’t get much better than this!

    The Original

    A classic of sci-fi action flicks, that launched a franchise of six (and counting) sequels including the highly anticipated "Dark Fate," and a criminally underrated TV series, The Terminator is a taut, fast-paced thriller that still holds up. Blu-ray is the best way to watch until a 4K is released (fingers crossed).

    This movie is a forever sci-fi classic. I saw it for the first time when I was 10, and compared to the action movies of today... The story, special effects, action, and characters still seem to hold their own decades later. Great film, and for $3.99??? No brainer.

    The Terminator, one of the best classic science fiction movie ever of the 80's. Arnaldo delivered without saying much. I had to add the Terminator to my movie collection. How time has changed along side technology, wow.

    This is the best movie of a long series, and where classic lines like "I'll be back" started. Though the movie is 35 years old, it stands the test of time and is a must see for action movie lovers.

    Although T2 seems to be the most popular in the franchise, this Original Terminator movie never gets old & sets the tone as to who will be the main action star in Hollywood for years to come

    shows how much you can do with what we would consider so little in this day and age. Sets up the story for Terminator 2. Lots and lots of good parts!
