Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
This is the film that cemented Schwarzenegger's spot in the action-brawn firmament, and it was well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg who kills without fear, without love, without mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are pared to the bone and all the more creepy. But don't overlook the contributions of Linda Hamilton, who more than holds her own as the Terminator's would-be victim, Sarah Connor--thus creating, along with Sigourney Weaver in Alien, a new generation of rugged, clear-thinking female action stars. It's surprising how well this film holds up, and how its minimalist, malevolent violence is actually way scarier than that of its far more expensive, more effects-laden sequel. --Anne Hurley

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent Sci-fi, action movie!!!
This movie is a great movie with nice action, decent effects, great actors, and an excellent, although very confusing story line. This movie is the oldest movie of James Cameron's that I know, and it is amazing. It is probably my favorite James Cameron movie. The Titanic was pretty good, but it doesn't beat this. the three TTTs of James Cameron. Terminator, Terminator 2 Judgement Day, and Titanic.
Rating:  - It is not DTS version
The web description say it is DTS version. When I order, I just receive a dolby 5.1 version. Since I am not in US, does Amazon provide subsidize of postage? It is cheat.

As always, Amazon did a great job delivering this DVD. It arrived on time and in good shape. I've never had a problem with Amazon.
The movie is a bit old and clunky now, but it's still fun to watch and a good companion piece to T2, the sequel.
It's funny to see our governator all dressed up and playing a cyborg.
Rating:  - The TERMINATOR. He will never stop hunting you...and this movie will never stop haunting our minds.
In the year 2029, machines rule the world. A few small bands of humans (survivors of the nuclear war between man and machine), under the lead of a man named John Connor, fight these artificially-intelligent monsters. Finally, the humans emerge victorious, and the machines are virtually defeated. But the machines have another plan. They will destroy John Connor by killing his mother, Sarah Connor, before she gives birth to her son. They send through time the TERMINATOR, a cybernetic organism ... Read More
Rating:  - The Terminator BLU-RAY edition
This review refers to the BLU-RAY edition ONLY and NOT to the DVD edition.
Well having The Terminitor series on DVD and loving them and having recently upgraded to a blu-ray player I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my collection to high definition blu-ray format.
Boy, what a mistake that was.
Picture quality is AWFUL - well awful for blu-ray anyway. They've taken the same standard definition source as the DVD and upscaled it for blu-ray - but it's still ... Read More
