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.

Finally some justice! This version is for the purist, who love to see every inch of grain, without edge enhancements or filtering period! I was very delighted with the visuals, which have never looked better.. The Sound Quality is very good, with a PCM 5.1 audio mix, showing some deep bass frequencies and fantastic center channel volumes. The mixing of the channels shows someone put some TLC into it. I actually heard things that I never did from VHS or Standard DVD.. This really is a great Scifi masterpiece even after 25 years and this remaster is the finest I have ever seen or heard!
- 16 x 9 Enhanced (1:85.1) - 5.1 PCM Sound Uncompressed - 5.1 Digital Dolby soundtrack included in English & French - (subs) English, French, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Thai. - 7 Deleted scenes - Creating the Terminator visual effects and music - Terminator a retrospective
What's great about it: A fine remaster without enhancements

This movie needs no introduction. Suffice it to say, you already know it is a great movie. However, the superb video and audio found on this disc makes it that much better. We are graced with a lossless PCM 5.1 audio track and a video quality that blows away any other version of the film. To suggest that people pick up an out of print DVD over this one purely for the lost special features is just silly. This print has clearly been gone over with a fine tooth comb by Sony. It looks simply amazing. Any fan of the film would be happy to have this one in their collection.
What's great about it: Vastly improved image and audio quality over DVD
What's not so great: Lacks some of the special features found on the previous DVD

This is the third terminator blu-ray I have purchased and can't get tired of this movie, If I had to choose I would keep this remastered disc and put it on the digibook limited packaging, but I think that I'll keep them all for my collection anyway.
What's great about it: It is worth the upgrade even if already purchased before.
What's not so great: Nothing, although it could use a special edition case.

This is a great upgrade from the previous Blu-ray if you already have that. However, if you currently own the 2001 DVD release of Terminator, I would keep that with this set since this Blu-ray doesn't offer much in regards to extra features.
My Best Buy number: 760065622
What's great about it: Video is much better than 2006 blu-ray release

Terminator looks incredible in this newly digitally remastered release. Watching this movie again brought back so many good memories from my childhood. I noticed things that were not as visible on previous versions. I highly recommend purchasing this Blu-ray.
