The Terminator Movies
Well, with all of the excitement building for next months release of the next chapter in the Terminator saga, I thought that it might be a good time to review the other three movies in the series.
The first movie simply titled The Terminator was released in 1984 and almost immediately became a blockbuster hit. It stood out from the pack with its over the top special effects and its time traveling story. It was a huge success and spawned two, and now three sequels as well as a television show on Fox. The first movie was released on VHS and later on DVD. It included a minimal amount of bonus features on its initial DVD release, but would later be re-released as a special addition.
In 1991, the sequel, T2: Judgment Day was released in theatres. Surpassing the first movie, it was an instant hit breaking box office records. It maintained all the greatness from the first movie and expanded on the Terminators lore.
In T2 Arnold is still a Terminator, but as John Connor's guardian. When the rumors came out I couldn't believe it, they had changed what everyone was expecting. However, the special effects far surpassed the first movie and the things we saw were unlike anything seen before. It was a technological breakthrough and has become standard practice since. The DVD, packaged in a metallic collector's sleeve, was full of history and special features, that we have now come to expect.
Ten years later, Rise of The Machines was released. It was considered a flop, by Terminator standards. However, with almost $400 million is ticket sales, it would have been considered a huge success for any other franchise. The DVD, was just as great as the first two releases, full of extras. i am positive that a special Blu-ray version of the first three movies, will be on the way soon.
Let's just hope that the newest movie will bring back the Franchise glory. - 23806
