Terminator Quadrilogy [DVD] [2009]

I have been a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger movies for many years now and having this particular Terminator Quadrogy on blue ray has to be the best birthday present I ever received so farAll the main terminator movies are in this but remasters with many extras as well as upgraded to blu ray does make a difference not just to the picture/display quality but also having it all available in High definition compared to dvd and even the sound quality is much better in my viewIf you are a fan of science fiction,action packed series of movies you have to get this into your blu ray collectionIt’s well worth picking upEspecially if you want to have the very best of the terminator moviesI have very fond memories of watching the very first terminator movie and thinking back then they be more of them and especially after watching the first one also thinking when is the next one coming outWhat also made the terminator movies more Realistic for me was putting such awesome actors/actress in the main roles of terminator and the Sarah Connor the women who would eventually be the mother of the human restiance leader in the near future

You hardly need to be told about the Terminator series... So I shan't bother, much. T3 is the lame duck of the series. SFX - seen it all before; story - seen it all before. Meh, OK (Amazon's 3* rating) & no more. T1 was ground-breaking, T2 took the SFX to another CGI level, whilst playing intelligently around the original story. T3 - meh.T4 is the hidden gem. I hadn't seen it before I acquired this a few years ago. I was expecting T3 only more so. It's rather better. The SFX aren't special any more, you saw it all with T1 & T2. Arnie has the briefest of cameos; blink & you'll miss it; but T4 isn't about him. If the SFX are not in any way new, the story is surprisingly good. And gritty.I can't remember how much I paid for this when it was still new directly from Amazon, but T1 & T2 are definitely 5* films. If you can pick this up for less than the combined cost of the first two, then however many you really want, this is absolutely 5* value for money. If you only want T1 & T2, then it's probably cheaper to get them. But that'd mean you miss out on T4, which is borderline 4 / 5*. No there isn't really anything by way of extras with this, but you've 3 worthwhile films on DVD in decent quality. And another one that's OK!

Great box set T1&2 are classics, T3 is ok, I don't mind it as much as some people seem to (although I'm a big fan of summer glau so obviously I prefer the Sarah Connor chronicles timeline) but t4... It's as bad as everyone says! I've got quite a good surround sound system and T4 just seems to add bass and noise to unneeded things, (for dramatic effect or something) and it just annoyed me so much I turned down my sub, first time I've ever had to do that. As for T4 story, I found myself playing with my phone halfway through the film and losing interest, I had to force myself to persevere to the end. It doesn't feel as if it's part of the terminator universe, should have just been a stand alone robot film.All in all a great box set of 3 terminator films and one film to ignore :)

The first and last were my favourites. Is sci fi all made up, or is it where we're heading?

All 4 Terminator films are good and so too will future ones be probably. In order of greatness I would say Terminator 2 is the best, Terminator Salvation the second best, Terminator 3 the third best then The Terminator after thst. Terminator 2 is classic and emotional and Terminator Salvation is a good action film. Terminator 3 still has Arnie so that is good and The Terminator is last because it was a bit lacking with special effects. Watch these films, they're good. Here's hoping for more terminator films to be released in the future plus a The Terminator UK Blu-Ray Release!

I watched all the DVDs and enjoyed the. I am very pleased with quadruple set.

Classic collection of the best!Well worth it, in high definition blue ray, part of the entire Terminator series.You will watch again and again.

First off I do understand that many people are not fans of the Terminator franchise after the 2nd film but for me the films are all of a good quality (no doubt that the first 2 are the best in the series) and deliver plenty of action whilst trying to evolve the story (not always hitting the mark perfectly) making for a franchise I really enjoy.
