The Terminator Is Back In 4K With This New Blu-Ray Release

Decades ago, The Terminator taught the world that there's nothing more terrifying than a killer robot with an Austrian accent. 40 years later, the first movie still holds up as an incredible thriller, and fans can re-experience it again soon with the upcoming 4K Blu-ray edition launching on November 19.

More Terminator Blu-rays

Since 1984, the Terminator franchise has expanded massively with sequels and spin-offs. Some people would say that the series peaked with Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but the other films do have their charm even if they don't live up to the high benchmark set by the first sequel. There's even a short-lived TV series--The Sarah Connor Chronicles--starring Lena Headey, and if you're keen to revisit it, all 31 episodes are available in one Blu-ray box set. Terminator fans will also want to check out many of Arnold Schwarzenegger's other films. From Predator to True Lies, almost every Arnie movie was a box office blockbuster--including the second-best Christmas movie of all time, Jingle all the Way.
