Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review iThe Terminator/i was the film that cemented Arnold Schwarzenegger's place in the action-brawn firmament, and both his and the movie's subsequent iconic status are well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg that kills without fear, without love, without mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are pared to the bone and are all the more chillingly effective for it. But don't overlook the contribution 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 iAlien/i--a new generation of rugged, clear-thinking female action stars. The film's minimalist, malevolent violence is actually scarier than that of its far more expensive, more effects-laden sequel. i--Anne Hurley, Amazon.com/i

A lot of work has clearly gone into this wonderful movie and its evident on screen. With Cameron's masterful story telling, an underrated cast with some chilling effects for the Terminator cortesty of the legend himself Stan Winston and an amazing story which maintains realism despite time travel and the sci Fi elements i honestly cannot find one significant flaw in this movie.If you like action or sci Fi or thrills or intricate story or even a bit of horror or even a love story then you will like/love this film because it somehow SUCCESSFULLY combines them all seamlessly. br / br /As for the DVD it has been re-released on several versions but the Definitive edition is just that, it has all the documentaries and features the other versions had but with a few extras. Disc one contains the film itself in its best picture and remastered sound, basically the typical DVD improvements that you get as opposed to VHS. Disc Two contains about half a dozen deleted scenes some more relevant than others (one which contains a very good twist which sets up part of the story for The sequel T2) and several documentaries. The legacy of the terminator and closer to the real thing are OKAY its "Other voices" which contains the real gold, fantastic look into the films making cast,crew, effects and a number of brilliant anecdotes regarding effects,filming,casting(given budgetary constraints things like the last Scenes were made involving a good few VERY interesting stories) this two disc set comes in a metal slip book and is almost certainly the best edition you will get for the first Terminator movie. br / br / A great Film presented in a premium DVD package it is a movie you need to see at least once in your lifetime. Top notch entertainment. A stone classic August 9, 2008 Mr W (Manchester, England) 9 out of 26 found this review helpful 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. Brilliant Classic Movie. June 7, 2009 Ms. J. F. Gilby (bexhill, uk) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Going to see the fourth movie next Saturday, I begin the Terminator movies with this one and what a movie it is. I remember the scary ending a few years back but not the whole film, it's a thrilling ride and a instant classic to enjoy again and again. It has the 80s feel which suits it well, outragous clothing and wicked music in the background. The story is The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is out to get Sarah Connor (Linda Hamliton) to stop her having the future John Connor who will be the hero of the machine war not far ahead. Kyle Resse is also after Sarah, giving her love that he has felt since. It was qutie scary, especially the machine with the red eyes and the infamous words "I'll Be Back" is just genius, perfectly said by Schwarzenegger. If you haven't bought this movie, it's a must and worth to catch up before seeing the new movie out in cinemas. TERMINATOR - BRILLIANT June 10, 2009 3 out of 8 found this review helpful This classic film has been aroud for over 20 years but is better than some made in 2008. This amazing film is a definate 5 star and is possibly better than the 3rd terminator movie. This film has action every second and will not let you down. There is no computer generation but there are still out of this world effects and great action scenes. For those who are not sure if to buy it or not the clear answer is to buy and LOVE IT! Great! June 29, 2009 kai 0 out of 4 found this review helpful very good film but the animation at the end is poor but its from 30 years br /ago so hay! Showing reviews 1-5 of 8 1 2 Next »
