3.0 out of 5 stars
Good box set but there are better ones....., 21 Mar 2006
This review is from: Terminator - The Trilogy (four disc edition) [DVD] (DVD)
You definately can not moan about the price as it is a real good one. Having said that, with all the 'special', 'collectors' and 'ultimate' editions each of these 3 movies have been released under, you can get more quality if you wish. I recommend that you either try to get the hard-to-find 'SkyNET Edition', featuring a total of 6 DVDs w/ tons + tons of bonus magterial or the so called 'Terminator BOX', which was released in Germany and also contains 6 DVDs with un-real amount of extra footage - On both box sets you have English Audio w/ 5.1 Dolby Digital + multiple subtitle options - If you can not find either of them, this one on Amazon is still the best package available. In any event, looking forward to Part 4, once Arni is not in charge of California anymore (smile).

Hasta la vista; baby, 7 May 2009
Great collector's set of the seminal early 80s Sci-fi cult film, and its two follow-ups. With #4 in production, the franchise is alive and well but getting a 'reboot' like many of its contemporaries. So it's high time for a re-evaluation: The first film is a dark and brooding Sci-fi masterpiece; it may not have had a huge budget but Schwarzenegger's relentless cyborg looks as impressively intimidating as he did in 1984.
Part 2 'Judgement Day', is a high-octane rollercoaster of a movie; with the new improved T-1000 and an ambiguous role for the original cyborg, the film had a bigger budget, and it showed. With great special effects and a decent script, this is the more powerful and less rough around the edges big brother to the first movie.
Terminator 3 polarised critics when it was released in 2003. Personally I loved the tongue-in-cheek feel, as well as the deliciously wicked and amazingly sexy 'terminatrix'.
A smashing collection of highly entertaining 'popcorn movies', superb.

3 Great films, 6 Jun 2008
Ok, so the third is the weakest, but it is still a great film. the first two are classics, and simply can't be beaten, i guess people are just going to have to accept that. overall, this trilogy is probably one of the best ever made, and that's probably because there was no studio interfering with it. entertaining, well directed, heartfelt even, and last but not least, good stories. now that's something we don't get very often. can't wait for the future. nuff said.
