Amazon.com essential video
This is the film that cemented Schwarzenegger's spot in the action-brawn firmament, and it was well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg who kills without fear, without love, without mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are pared to the bone and all the more creepy. But don't overlook the contributions of Linda Hamilton, who more than holds her own as the Terminator's would-be victim, Sarah Connor--thus creating, along with Sigourney Weaver in Alien, a new generation of rugged, clear-thinking female action stars. It's surprising how well this film holds up, and how its minimalist, malevolent violence is actually way scarier than that of its far more expensive, more effects-laden sequel. --Anne Hurley
Description
In the year 2029, the ruling super-computer, Skynet, sends an indestructible cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back in time to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) before she can fulfill her destiny and save mankind.

WARNING-RIPOFF, WARNING-RIPOFF!!! IN 2001 MGM RELEASED A BARE BONES TERMINATOR DVD WHICH CAME IN A CRAPPY LOOKING CASE. THIS DVD RELEASE IS ALSO FROM MGM. WHAT MGM DID IS THEY TOOK THEIR 2001 TERMINATOR DVD CASE AND HOT GLUED A THIN TERMINATOR HOLOGRAM TO THE FRONT OF IT!!!! WHAT YOU GET IS THE EXACT SAME THING AS MGM'S 2001 RELEASE. SAME MGM BARE BONES DVD, SAME CRAPPY LOOKING CASE. ALL YOU WILL BE DOING IS SPENDING $14.98 FOR A THIN CRAPPY TERMINATOR HOLOGRAM. MGM TRIED TO TRICK PEOPLE THROUGH AMAZON.COM BY CHANGING THE LOOK OF THE DVD CASE TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS WAS A NEW TERMINATOR DVD RELEASE WITH CONTAINED DELETED FOOTAGE, INTERVIEWS, AND REAL SPECIAL FEATURES. WRONG, ITS THE SAME BARE BONES DVD THAT MGM RELEASED IN 2001!!!IF YOU ALREADY OWN THE 2001 MGM TERMINATOR DVD THEN DON'T BUY THIS!!!! YOU WILL ONLY BE RE-BUYING THE A DVD YOU ALREADY OWN!!!

The DVD froze in a couple of spots and it may have some scratches. It also could have been the interaction with the DVD player. I fixed the problem but I am
dissapointed that a new print would have these problems.
Awesome! a real classic! February 4, 2010

I love this movie. It never gets old, besides, you need to watch this movie to undestand all the Terminator movies.

In the future, Skynet, a computer system fights a losing war against the humans who built it and who it nearly exterminated. Just before being destroyed, Skynet sends a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah, the mother to be of John Connor, the Leader of the human resistance. The terminator can pass for human, is nearly indestructible, and has only one mission, killing Sarah Connor. One soldier is sent back to protect her from the killing machine. He must find Sarah before the Terminator can carry out it's mission. "The Terminator" is a great movie. I highly recommend this movie, it's an incredible one that is sure to deliver entertainment to the fullest.
