Product Description:
MGM The Terminator (Blu-Ray)
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as a time-traveling T-101 'Terminator' in this smash hit directed by Jonathan Mostow. With dazzling effects, bravura thrills and a story that boldly spins into the unexpected, this is an eventspectacle to see and see again. In the year 2029,the ruling super- computer, Skynet, sends an indestructible cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back in time to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton)before she can fulfill her destiny and save mankind.
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:  - Terminator DVD Review
The 1984 Treminator is an interesting movie but is marred by a cheap musical score. Perhaps it should be re-released with a new score. The 1.85:1 widescreen DVD is of high quality and enhanced for 16:9 TVs.
Rating:  - A stone classic
One of the best movies ever made, this has everything. The action is crisp, the situation powerful and the whole film delivers right across the board. If you haven't seen this, buy it immediately. You fool.
Rating: - Creepier than the sequel
Although I still prefer "Judgement Day", the first Terminator contains a darker atmosphere that I really like. Filmed in a much lower budget, "The Terminator" is darker, creepier, and bloodier than the sequel. Schwarzenegger portrays a killing machine from the future who is sent to the present in order to kill the unborn future leader of the human rebellion. Linda Hamilton plays Sarah Connor, the young woman who tries hard to disbelieve that fact that she will, in the future, give birth to the future's ... Read More
Rating: - I Love This Movie
This movie is one of the best I've ever seen. I like the main menu; it shows the Terminator skull rotating while the main melody from the Terminator Title(at the beginning of the film) is being played. I like the story and everything about it. Arnold Swharzengger(aka The Terminater) is the star. The special effects is what makes Arnold look good. Michael Biehn plays Kyle Reese(the soldier sent throught time to protect Sarah Conner(Linda Hamilton) from the Terminator(Arnold Shwarzenegger). There's action ... Read More
Rating:  - Great movie, really bad Blu-Ray transfer!
Really good movie. But the transfer to Blu-Ray is really poor. I own many Blu-Ray titles (also the DVD version of this), this is one of the worse Blu-ray transfers I've seen, quality wise. Lots of grain, and not just during the darker scenes (you will see this immediately at the start). For the life of me I cannot understand how relatively modern era movies like Terminator (1984) could have quality issues like this in Blu-Ray, while older films in Blu-Ray like Battle of the Bulge (which I also have) ...
