In order to prevent his present reality from existing, a soldier from a war-torn future travels back in time to protect the woman whose unborn child will be the savior of the future. James Cameron's THE TERMINATOR is one of the tightest, tensest sci-fi films ever made and a landmark in the genre. In the year 2029, battles rage between the superintelligent machines that rule the world and the last vestiges of humanity. In late-20th-century Los Angeles, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) suddenly finds herself stalked by an unstoppable killing machine--a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent from the future to kill her and her unconceived son, John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance. Sarah can rely only on Reese (Michael Biehn), a soldier sent from the future to protect her from the seemingly indestructible Terminator and save humanity. This low-budget masterpiece was the breakthrough film for director Cameron, who weds special effects, thrills, and understated romance to create one of the finest action films of the 1980s, which spawned many imitations but few equals. Science fiction author Harlan Ellison sued over the film's similarities to his own works, especially the OUTER LIMITS episode "Demon with a Glass Hand," and won acknowledgement in the film's credits. Schwarzenegger will forever be known as the relentless Terminator, a heartless killing machine who returns (in a kinder, gentler form) in 1991's TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY.

Very cool movie! Dos pulgrates arriba. The Terminator was a really cool movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a good job as the robotic killing assasin from the future. The action in this movie was awesome. It also had great special effects. This is one of Arnold's best movies that rocks. This will be in everyone's collection. I'll be back.

All time Classic! If you ask me this would have to be one of the best action movies ever made, and the best sci-fi movie. For a film made in 1984 the special effects are verry good. Arnold Schwarzenegger was perfect for the role of the terminator. Just about anyone you ask has seen this movie, and it was a big sucess so it's clear Terminator is a classic! You must watch it if you havent already. Submitted by Manuel (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

| | X-Men Origins: Wolverine DVD (2009) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
Terminator review
$23.35 When choosing which mutant hero they would use to launch the X-MEN feature-film prequel series ORIGINS, the creators of the hugely successful franchise had a no-brainer of a decision in going with Wolverine. Not only is he the most well-known and popular X-Men character, but Wolverine--as brought expertly to life in true leading-man fashion by Hugh Jackman--was essentially the star of the three previous X-MEN movies.
As the title implies, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE is the back story of the fiery and conflicted Wolverine (né James Logan), whose mutant powers include killer claws that shoot from his knuckles and a regenerative ability that allows him to live seemingly forever. Taking a few mild liberties but staying relatively faithful to the comic-book source material, ORIGINS follows Logan from his first recognition of his mutant powers as a young child up through his infamous adamantium rebirth and the total memory loss that would subsequently fuel his angry quest. Wolverine’s story has enough intriguing details to allow for a grown-up psychodrama in the mold of THE DARK KNIGHT, and the actors on hand--including Danny Huston as Stryker and Liev Schreiber as Logan’s half-brother, Victor (aka Sabretooth)--have the chops to deliver. Director Gavin Hood, however, opts in favor of cinematic razzle-dazzle heavy on John Woo-style action-ballet and CGI glitz. From Deadpool’s eye-popping swordplay (the action-adventure equivalent of Riverdance) to the tightrope-walk of a fight scene in the film’s finale, WOLVERINE is a blockbuster action film in the most fundamental sense of the word. While some might complain that the film lacks the storytelling substance of the first two X-MEN films, if it’s ...

Terminator review
$10.25 Heath Ledger is William Thatcher, a peasant squire who breaks all the rules when he passes himself off as a nobleman and takes the jousting world by storm. The only thing that stands between William and his dream of becoming the world champion of hte most extreme sport is the bad boy, Count Adhemar. When the two rivals go lance to head at the world finals to determine who will be named the ultimate champion, you better arm yourself and hang on tight for the thrill ride of your life. This extended cut includes over 10 minutes of never-before-seen footage, as well as the original special features include featurettes, music video, and more. Shannyn Sossamon and Paul Bettany.
In the Middle Ages, before television or professional sports, there is only one form of competition to separate the men from the boys: jousting tournaments. William Thatcher (Heath Ledger), a poor and humble squire, has always dreamed of proving himself worthy as a knight. When he gets a lucky chance--seeing an opportunity to disguise himself in the identity of a knight--William decides to maintain the illusion for as long as possible. He is aided by his friends Wat, Roland, and Geoffrey Chaucer--a writer with a knack for forging official papers. Under his new title, Sir Ulrich of Liechtenstein, William wins tournaments and receives monetary awards. However, the only way for William to prove himself as truly noble is to beat out all of his enemies, including the arrogant and undefeated Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell), in a series of jousts. Once he does so, William will reveal his his true identity. Writer-director Brian Helgeland creates a unique blend of rousing adventure, comedy, and modern sensibility in A KNIGHT'S TALE, giving a contemporary make-over ...
| | Shadow Skill - Vol. 2: Brothers & Sisters In Arms DVD (1998)
Terminator DVD
$20.39 A remake of an older anime series of the same name, SHADOW SKILL updates its predecessor's basic action/fantasy premise with a much lighter tone. In the kingdom of Kuruda, the mighty band of martial-arts warriors known as the Sevalle are king. While young Gau dreams of one day joining the group's hallowed ranks, his older sister, Elle, is already a highly skilled Sevalle member. The trouble is that Elle is a hard-drinking party girl who would rather engage in booze-fueled antics than train her younger brother in the Sevalle's mystic ways. Produced by the acclaimed animation studio DEEN, the high-octane anime series continues with this collection of episodes 5-8.
Hulems, Watchers, and Divas, oh my! On the road to Julianess, surprises wait behind every hilltop, from Jura Forest to Talpa Village, danger lurks in each crag and cranny. As Gau's oblivion towards Kyuo's affection earns him a duel at the hands of White Lightning, a rival who gives "battle rhyming" a whole new meaning, the tensions in the group grow ever more tense. Besides being Elle’s personal pack mule, what does being brother to the 59th Sevalle earn you? How about the chance of becoming ...

| | Rosemary's Baby DVD (1968) Widescreen
Terminator video
$6.89 Roman Polanski's stylish occult thriller ROSEMARY'S BABY is possibly the director's most famous film and was a big box-office success at the time of its 1968 release. This was Polanski's first American feature film, following his frightening 1965 REPULSION, which was made in England. The use of producer William Castle--famous for popular low-budget horror--helped propel Polanski forward into a long and rigorous career as one of the masters of the genre. The terrifying satanic story forever haunts fans of this cult film, the setting of which--Manhattan's Dakota building--carries a ghost story of its own as the location of John Lennon's assassination.
A young, happily married couple, waif-like Rosemary (Mia Farrow) and struggling actor Guy (John Cassavetes), move into a spacious apartment in a venerable old building off Central Park. They are befriended by the elderly couple next door, Roman (Sidney Blackmer) and Minnie Castavet (Ruth Gordon in an Oscar-winning performance), who seem to take a special interest in Rosemary's well-being. Shortly after another young woman in the building commits suicide by jumping out a window, Rosemary begins to be plagued by disturbing dreams, including a hallucinogenic black mass sequence in which she is raped by something "inhuman" while surrounded by a host of unlikely spectators. Rosemary discovers she is pregnant and soon falls violently ill. The Castavets offer advice and home remedies and even go so far as to talk her into seeing a new doctor of their choosing. But when the young couple's friend Hutch (Maurice Evans) exposes her eccentric ...
