The Terminator Movies
The next chapter in the Terminator saga is less then a month away. With so much excitement building I feel it is necessary to review the first three chapters in the story.
The first movie in the saga was called The Terminator. This movie, released in 1984 was like nothing else with it's special effects and time travel story. It became a blockbuster hit, almost immediately. After the success they decided to film and release two, now three, sequels. The original Terminator was initially released on VHS, then years later on DVD with minimal bonus features. They later re-released the DVD 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.
Arnold, is still a Terminator, but as guardian for John Connor. This was an unexpected twist and I couldn't believe it when the rumors first came out. Special effects, again, were like no other. The things we saw at the movies were unlike anything that had ever been done before. It was a technological breakthrough and has become standard practice in the years since. The DVD was full of Terminator history and special features, all packaged in a metallic collectors sleeve.
Rise of The Machines was released ten years after the first movie. By Terminators standards, it was thought to be a flop, but with around $400 million is ticket sales, it would have been considered a huge success for any other franchise. Packed with extras and just as good as the first two releases the DVD came out soon after the movie release. There is sure to be a special Blu-ray version of the first three movies and will be even great to see in high definition.
Hopefully the newest movie will return the glory to the franchise that I grew up loving. - 23815
