The Terminator (DVD, 2001)

This movie made Arnolds career take off. This movie was state of the art back in the 80's and is still an awesome movie today. If you like Arnold you need to buy this...

The Terminator

Dark and disturbing, definitely one of my favorite movies from the 80's.

Arnie is absolutely spectacular as the evil Terminator. This movie really started it all, in my opinion Terminator opened the doors for many action/sci-fi movie stars.

Terminator is a classic movie that belongs in any movie fans collection.

Final Verdict:

5/5

Rent or buy?: Buy...

IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

The Terminator is a great science fiction movie. You follow "The Terminator" as he goes back in time to eliminate the mother of the child that overthrows the mechanical terror known as Skynet in the future.

The humans send back a fighter to help young Sarah Connor defend herself against the Terminator.

This movie is what made Arnold Swartzeneger's career. A number of catch phrases like "I'll be back" were introduced in this movie and have now become part of our cultural lexicon! :)

A great movie that spun off two other's! I can only hope that they decide to create T4 and set it after the nuclear war we saw in T3 Rise of the Machines!

ITS THE TERMINATOR! WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO SAY. EXCELLENT MOVIE A+ BUY IT IF YOU DONT HAVE IT. IF YOU LIKE THE TERMINTOR ON TV THEN YOU NEED TO SEE THIS ONE, FIND OUT HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED.

This release was particularly spectacular if you (like me) saw it in the theaters in 1984 or on TV in the 90's, due to the magnificent and monumental task that was undertaken to bring this into the 21st century by UPGRADING the original MONO audio track to Dolby Digital 5.1 EX Surround Sound!
This puppy will set your ears back if you have a Surround Sound home theater with THX capability. I was pleasantly surprised when the MGM Lion leaped out, bellowing a roar that made me turn the volume down - sounds like he'll snap your head off! The following audio experience was amazing in comparison to the original. Weapons fire is felt through the chest! OUCH! The neighbors thought I was being masacred.
If you are a Digital Sound freak like me, this is a must experience! Follow up with the Special Effects Features also on the DVD - you'll appreciate the work that went into this Remastering. The Sound people talk about how cheated they felt having to work on the original 1984 sound in MONO.

This movie was a gift for my father. He loved it! Thank you for your quick service. The movie was shipped as new and was received in a timely fashion in great shape.

I ordered this dvd from Ebay by Lionsgate, but I never received it, even though my check got to Lionsgate fast. It was cashed by LIonsgate because my bank let me know this. I am still waiting for this dvd. I bought it because I like any good movie with children that save the day.

Basic story line was good, great animation in both battle sequences and nuclear holocaust scenes. good chases and interior battle scenes.

excellent trasaction the package excellent fast shipping the movie excellent condition seller is good i like in i going back buy

Great movie and was better than description given by seller. 5 Star seller provided super fast shipping, great price for movie and shipping, and great communication. Highly recommend seller!

This is the first of the four Terminator movies and in my opinion, the best. This low,medium budget movie(at the time) turned into a blockbuster. Great performances by Arnold and Linda Hamilton. I `ve seen all four movies . Because of the novelty of this first one, I `ve enjoyed this above all over the sequels. Looking forward to adding this to my Terminator movies collection..Eddie

great movie.. Good to add to any movie collection...............................................................................

This is one of my favorite moves of all time. I had to have my own copy! I have seen it many times and will re-watch it soon.

I love Sci-Fi. I grew up on "One step beyond", "The Twilight Zone" and
any old time sci-fi that I could find on the TV. It is still my favorite
movie genre. This movie really started it for Arnold. "I'll be back"
is a line that will forever be a part of POP Culture.
I had a hard time locating this movie from Blockbuster or Columbia House so I
came here to EBay and finally found it! Now I have the complete DVD series.
I recently went and saw T4 at the theater. I was a bit disappointed with
my first viewing. I'll re-watch it again when it's released on DVD and see
if it will grow on me.
We are so spoiled by the special effects that we see so much of that I think
we are getting a bit jaded and expect too much sometimes.

What can one really write about "The Terminator" that hasn't already been said. The film is classic, the special effects stand up 25 years after they were produced (even if the hair and fashion trends don't), and the franchise remains strong. The 2001 special edition DVD is the most definitive version released so far. It is the only copy that includes deleted scenes (which portend events in future films!), a retrospective with James Cameron and Arnold Schwazenegger, an hour-long making-of documentary, still photos, trailers and Cameron's original 45-page treatment. Compared to the current DVD release of "The Terminator" -- which has no special features at all -- this version is a true gem. It's a complete shame that MGM has discontinued it because this is the only one for true "Terminator" fans.

Tip for shopping: When trying to find the special edition, look for a copy that has the "holographic cover," book insert and double-sided DVD.

I don't know how it was .Paid for it over a month ago and never recived if.No respone for the seller. I'd say it was a good movie when I seen it on the big screen.

this was a great seller.the seller made sure that it was fast shipping. great product. the product was cheap and a hard to find item that i have been looking for for about two months now.

This seller did an excellent job on shipping speed and price. I was greatly impressed. The DVD itself has minor skipping problems in the beginning, but the seller described the product as "used," and therby was not misleading at all. I recommend the seller.

This was a great movie and we needed it to complete our collection. We got it at a good price and the shipping wasn't to bad either

A classic Arnold movie...role as robot suits him. Linda Hamilton as the role of mother protecting her son is a great example of her love for her child.
A must see along with T2 sequel...some violence may not be suitable for young viewers.

I Love all of the Terminator movies. I even like the series. They are so imaginative & action packed. They seem so real & yikes scary at times.

I love the fast shipping and that fact that it was just as described in the information. We bought the dvd because it was such a good deal. Thanks

MY 13 YEAR OLD WAS BEGGING FOR THIS FOR CHRISTMAS, AND FINALLY FOUND IT WITH YOU. HE WAS SO SURPRISED AND HAPPY ON CHRISTMAS MORNING THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT CONDITION AND FAST SHIPPING. THANKS AGAIN AATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
