Well what can I say but for anyone that like the terminator this is a must have. I cant think of a better present for a terminator fan. This box set ranks highly in my opinion. They look great and are definitely worth the money. I bought two of these, one for my self and one as a gift. For me having a widescreen meant that i had to watch my films in widescreen and now I usually only buy widescreen films. I no that the terminator is quite old and that's why it contains little/no bonus or extra material. But if I could add anything to the set, it would be like 4 discs of extra content. this set contains Films 1 and 2 with bonus features for both. unfortuatly it doesnt contain the third film but its still good non-the less.
The plot of Film 1.
In the future (2029) the world is a very different place. A defence system called skynet which is ment to protect mandkind by controling all missile and other defence mechanisms. now the system has got out of control and is now at war with the humans. so the war betwen the humans and the machines has been going on for a long time and finally the humans lead by John Connor are just about to win the war. In a last ditch atempt to win the machines send back a teminator. This is a machine looking exactly like a human and almost invincible and has only one mission, to kill sarah connor (the mother of John before he is born). there is only one hope. at the same time one of the human soldiers is sent back with knowlage of this plan and he has to protect her. Its a race of time to find Sarah. Who will be able to carry out their mission. will she die or live. this is a non stop thriller and definatley a classic.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
As 10 years have passed, John has now been born and has grown into childhood. but now another teminator has been sent back. One that is powerfull and Dangerous than the last. Now the Target has changed from Sarah to John. and once again a protector has been sent back for the protection of John. From breathtaking stunts and pyrotechniques you will be kept on the edge of your seat until the very end of the film.
But the overall package looks really stylish and cool on my shelves. I also love the Plot, its original and exciting. If I didn't have it this product I would buy it. Definitely worth the money.

Sorry for the low rate but the review really told me very little, not even an idea of the plots of the films as (suprisingly) not every one may have seen them. What are the extras? etc. If you do ever update, please let me know. :-)

Sorry but your review told me very little about the product. For example is it all 3 movies or just the 2 special editions of 1 & 2 packaged together. Plus being four discs I would presume their are some bonus features and it would be useful to know what these are and your opinion on them.
