One of the greatest of the small time movies that maximizes its budget and is truly exciting. Of course, T2 is a better movie, but this one made "I'll be back" a catch phrase that was on everyone's lips at the time.

Let me start out by saying that I am a HUGE fan of the "Terminator" franchise, so this review might be a bit biased in that regard. I love the entire science fiction concept of time travel and destiny, but also how we as human beings have choices and can shape our futures depending upon the ones we make. This movie nails all of these on so many levels. If you don't know the story by now, then this is the place to start. This movie is the perfect blend of classic sci-fi, action, adventure, and even has a creepy horror/stalker element that only Arnold could bring as the terminator.
I'm going to be honest: none of the films in this series, in my mind, have truly been ported correctly. What I mean by that is even though it is in 1080p and widescreen, there are parts that are blurry. Now I realize that this has a lot to do with the way the movie was done and the age, (it was done in 1984) but at night especially, you can see the fuzzy specs in the background. I don't expect to be flawless, but it has been on VHS, DVD, and now this format and you would think with each one, they would filter and smooth out these things. Also, there aren't any Blu-Ray specific extras - just a few interviews and bloopers and commentary.
Despite what is mentioned above, this should be owned by followers of the series as well as newcomers. I realize that I didn't detail the plot and that's because I think everyone should have the honor of seeing it for themselves. There is so much overall involved that to cover it all is impossible. I'll be back in my review of "T2: Skynet Edition"

The Terminator is a well-known franchise that has action and science fiction combined into a blender. The first is a great start in the franchise. Directed by James Cameron who also directed the highest-grossing film of all time, Titanic and co-wrote Rambo: First Blood part II alongside Sylvester Stallone. Let's begin the review. The film begins in 2029 when terminator cyborgs created by a super computer Skynet took over Earth and unleashed nuclear warheads on the world and killed 3/5 of the human population. The survivors and Skynet engage into a world war to settle the deed to Earth. The leader of the resistance being John Connor. Skynet sends a disguised Terminator (Arnold Schwarznegger) to 1984 to assassinate John's mother Sarah (Linda Hamilton) so that John would cease to exist and give Skynet an advantage. John discovers this and sends another resistance fighter Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) to protect Sarah. Kyle tells Sarah about Judgment Day and the future war between humanity and Skynet. The Terminator tries to look for which woman with the name Sarah Connor to kill, but doesn't know the target's middle name, so he resorts to killing every one of them just in case. He eventually found the right one with Kyle and begins a battle that would continue throughout the rest of the film. Kyle and Sarah conceive the future John during their only night together at a motel. In the final showdown at the factory, Kyle sacrifices himself to put the Terminator at a legless disadvantage. Sarah crushes the living daylights out of the Terminator in the end. Some time later, it shows the now-pregnant Sarah traveling to a new town. The visual effects were so real, the acting was well-done, and the storyline is so convincing you would want to see it. There are so far three sequels that eventually followed. Judgment Day is a possible candidate for best sequel (like Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and The Dark Knight, for example), and best film in the action/science fiction genre. Rise of the Machines was where the series went downhill when James Cameron dropped out. I have not seen Salvation yet. I would recommend getting the first two for your collection, but unless you are a true fan of the series, please avoid the mediocre third.

The movie is a great classic.
The 1 star is for Amazon and the seller advertising deceitfully. Check out the 4 pics of the front covers. 2 do not have Special Edition on the cover and do not include the features of the SE. Instead it's just as a standard old DVD with the theatrical trailer only. These 2 should not have been included with the SE advertisement.
When I read through the sellers profiles, only one stated that theirs was NOT the SE. Apparently they were the only honest seller in the list!
