The Terminator Franchise
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.
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.
Hopefully, the glory to the franchise can be renewed through this new movie coming out next month.
