Movie Reviews of The Terminator (Special Edition)
Movie Review: The Terminator Blu-Ray Review
Summary: 4 Stars
The Blu-Ray version is crisp and clear and the soundtrack is excellent. The menu setup is great looking and easy to navigate.
Some of the special effects are showing their age (maybe even a little more with this version since it is in HD and shows every little detail)....it was a little distracting at times and pulled me away from the story a bit, but overall it isn't that bad since the story is so powerful and interesting.
I would recommend this movie.
Summary of The Terminator (Special Edition)
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.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
