Terminator Anthology (The Terminator / Terminator 2: Judgment Day / Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines / Terminator Salvation) [Blu-ray]

Great movies

The box came new, as were the discs. Each one worked great when watching the movies over again. James Cameron's Terminator 2 is my favorite, but I wanted all of them on disc in order to be able to watch them anytime I like. Great value for your order and dollar spent. 10/10 cannot recommend it enough for any terminator fan.

This is an outstanding Blu-Ray box set of one of my favorite movie franchises. I already own earlier DVD versions of these films, and have seen them several times over the years, but not lately. So when this set arrived, my wife and I set aside a rainy afternoon to enjoy a Blu-Ray Terminator Marathon.Be advised- The first movie ran perfectly, but we got to T2, the disc refused to load up. I Googled the problem and found that we needed some sort of firmware update on our Blu-Ray player. I didn't even try to fix the problem via the internet. Instead we skipped ahead and watched T3 and T4, then later I put the T2 disc back in and managed to scroll through the menu and got a version to play. So, after some frustration we did finally get to see the movie. I ordered the firmware update DVD from Sony for $6, installed it a few days later, and now the player (and T2 disc) work fine.If, like me, you love the Terminator movies, I'm certain that, T-2 frustrations aside, you'll love this box set. The packaging is beautiful and the classic movies (especially T1 in my opinion) are spectacular in Blu Ray from start to finish. I look forward to another Blu-Ray Terminator Marathon next year, and this time we'll watch all 4 movies in order!

It has come to save you.

This set is incredible, so I will review part by part:1. The package is so cool, high relieve on the terminator's face and the discs have a match color with the environment of destruction that the series have.2. The Terminator, the quality is fine, sound not so much, besides that you enjoy the film as you're on the but the movie theater, cut scenes are interesting specially for those that haven't seen it.3. Terminator 2 - Judgement Day, this is the best movie of the saga in my opinion, FX, story, cast, sound etc. The set comes with the Skynet Edition of the film so this is a lot of new content in the disc, the remastered of the image and sound are so well done, and the special edition of the film is much much better that the theatrical edition.4. Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation, the most recent films so the quality and sound are more modern that the other films, extras are so well.A must buy for the hardcore collector of movies.

I'm only withholding a star because the set includes what is supposedly a disc full of extras for Salvation, but other than the label, it seems pretty much identical to the movie disc. Other than that, this is a pretty solid set that I'm satisfied with.As for the movies themselves, I have to say that I have a new respect for Salvation, both from my disappointment with Genisys and from watching Salvation again. Salvation isn't not one of the better movies in the series, but it's still pretty good, and I'll take Christian Bale as John Connor over Jason Clarke any day. What were they thinking when they casted Clarke? The giant terminator is a bit out of place, but it's neat to see T-600s and T-700s, a young Kyle Reese trying to scrape by, an awesome digital double of young Arnold, and an explanation for how John got the scars on his face.I know a lot of people didn't like T3, but I don't get why. I liked how T3 explored how things might play out if there is actually fate in the world of Terminator, as well as John's reluctance to accept his role as leader of the human resistance. Whereas Genisys tied my brain into a pretzel and left me with a bunch of questions, T3 was a straightforward story about an alternate timeline from the one we had seen in the first two movies.Much has already been said about how awesome T2 is; all I can say is that I agree that T2 is the best movie in the series, and I like its open ending that leans towards the possibility that the Connors succeeded in stopping Judgement Day (with help from Miles Dyson and a reprogrammed terminator).I used to not be that into the first movie, but as I've seen it a couple of times as an adult, I have more of an appreciation for it. In particular, the supporting characters seem more fleshed out, rather than simply being part of the background.

Terminator 1-2 and the blu ray are beautiful picture and sound is phenomenal. great extras good value. I feel like movie 3-4 are just a bonus as I am only rewatching them to see if they are as bad as I remember.the original terminator is quintessential eighties science fiction. great story with mind bending concepts. special effects that hold up well. the characters decent but so eighties it would feel like satire if it had not been produced at that time. all comes together in genre creating film.T2 takes it to new levels of brilliance in story acting and awesome special effects.not shore the point of 3-4
