Movie Reviews of The Terminator [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: A film that made people stand up & recognize Arnold Schwarzenegger/James Cameron Continued on T1 Robocop double feature reviews
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe this was Cameron's first film I was able to see this on VHS back in 1996 this is a Sci fi/acton/ horror film from 1984 that I now own on blu ray. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Terminator Micheal Biehn plays Kyle Reese a soldier from 2029 he's the Ultimate protector Linda Hamilton plays Sarah Connor. So in the Year 2029 machines are the ruling class and they want to wipe out the rest of the human race and the leader is John Connor. Skynet the super computer that runs the machines send there newest invention back to 1984 to kill his mother Sarah Connor this invention a Terminator a metal endoskelon over artificial skin but looks entirely human. Kyle Reese volunteers to go after the Terminator. The story progresses well I really wish they would have kept the scene where Reese breaks down and when it show the Cyberdyne Systems sign in the ending. This movie is about survival and Sarah Connor & Reese falling in love & becoming almost disturbed as Reese & a killing machines that kills anyone.Movie Review: Amazing 1080p
Summary: 4 Stars
I own a Playstation 3, which has a built-in Blu-Ray player. The Terminator is one of my all time favorite movies, so when I saw it on Blu-Ray at Best Buy, I had to have it. I was skeptical at first, considering the movie was made in 1984, over 20 years ago. I was not sure that the movie could be restored or remastered into 1080p, High Definition. But when I played the movie on my Blu-ray player, it totally met and exceeded all my expectations.
On top of the amazingly detailed visuals, there are also some pretty cool bonus features on the DVD. I paid almost $30.00 for the movie, Amazon is currently selling it for $19.99. That's a steal. Buy it if you're a Terminator fan. I've already got T2 on Blu-ray and just need T3 to complete my Terminator collection on Blu-ray.
The only reason I only gave this movie 4 out of 5 stars is because it the movie is outdated. The special effects, just are not up to par with modern day flicks.
Movie Review: A Blu Terminator
Summary: 4 Stars
I did a side by side comparison of the last DVD release of The Terminator with this new Blu-ray and found some slight improvement. Nothing here will slap you upside the head with heretofore unseen clarity, but details do pop more than the on the DVD release. I chalk this up more to limitations with the source material than with a sub-par transfer. The Terminator was a low budget film after all. This may not be enough to justify an upgrade for some viewers, but at the low price Amazon is currently offering I find it perfectly justifiable upgrade.
Keep in mind that this Blu-ray release omits a number of the bonus features of the DVD if that makes any difference to you. Personally, I want better image and sound first and foremost which this release offers, especially in the sound department.
The movie itself = 5 stars
Blu-ray transfer = 4 stars
Movie Review: Blu-ray disc modest transfer
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the fifth title I have seen in Blu-ray, and it is the weakest. I think it is due to the condition of the original master. There is much grain throughout. Black tones could be darker, colors should be more vibrant. The disc freezes for a second as Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese arrive at the Tiki Motel, and the audio drops out for a second during their love scene. I think this is also a mastering problem and not a result of the Samsung BD-P1000 (the only Blu-ray disc player currently on the market). The rest of the audio is top notch. Probably the best this film has ever sounded. I was able to pick up background noise and nuances I never heard on VHS, Laserdisc, or standard DVD. All in all, it is a modest transfer. But I remember that some of the first DVD's didn't look so hot. Maybe a re-issue of this title later on will fix any transfer issues.Movie Review: ARNIE IS AWESOME.
Summary: 4 Stars
hi to all i bought this blu-ray from amazon.com as you can no longer buy it in the u.k.? it's been discontinued for some inexplicable reason, however i own a u.k. playstation 3 and thought i'd risk trying the american version and all is good it works perfect received it in spot on condition, prayed it would play and it did :) I read a few reviews before buying as i have seen and owned this before on vhs dvd etc so wanted the best transfer of the film currently avail, its an excellent blu-ray for the age of the film (1984) some sound changes from the original are a bit dissapointing particularly when you see arnie's view (from inside his head looking out) i really loved the orig sound effect for this part but im being fussy so do not let that discourage you from buying an essential sci-fi classic. hope that helps u guys and gals...
