If it has a better transfer, I'll finally get this damn movie. The reviews are off-putting.

It's the old Sony disc in a new case. I have the re-issue with the slipcover and considering the age of the film, at the time in 2006 it was 22 years old, I think the transfer is pretty good.

That looks sweet. But I'm not double dipping unless it's a better transfer. I already double dipped on T2.

It's virtually indistinguishable from the DVD and it only has the terrible 5.1 sound with re-recorded sound effects. And the DVD has more supplements.

The age of the film isn't really the deciding factor here. The transfer is pretty bad.

[octagon]

Agreed. Far older films have gotten far better transfers.

This one is just plain bad.

I love this movie and I love digibooks, but I might skip this one.

The age may not be the issue, but I don't think the movie could look much better than the existing BDs. It was fairly low budget and filmed in poor conditions.

I hate myself because I sold the dvd because I heard they were doing a skynet edition =\

Ugh, God I hate those re-recorded sound effects. They're almost as bad as the ones they did for Jaws and Superman.

Dear All

If I have never own this movie either through DVD or BD before, is it worthwhile to buy this Digibook as a collector edition? How bad is the Audio issue?

As a big The Terminator fan I'll be buying it as long as they keep the "The" Although it would be nice to see some new artwork using old images like:



No talent there from me but there's lots of talented people here on the artwork thread and it's a shame Fox don't do a Google search for something new.

As for the transfer on the present Blu-ray I'm more than happy with it and I don't want them DNR'ing it to death so it looks like a video game for idiots.

This drawing above is by James Cameron, now that is one sick digibook I would buy in heartbeat

[I am blu]

I love this digibook! but same 25gb, same pcm5.1, same mpeg-2... same as the other (already) 3 releases

[kdo]

Regardless of what anyone thinks about digibooks, the fact of the matter is that it's going to contain the same 25GB disc from 2006, which is lacking not only the original mono track, but also numerous extras that were on the special edition DVD (as well as more recent, unreleased material apparently). Personally, I'm done with waiting for a proper re-release of this film. Seeing this digibook set to be released with the same old disc is the final straw for me. I will not be rebuying "the Terminator" even if it does come out eventually with a new transfer, the mono track, and the whole nine yards. This repeated "re-packaging of the same old disc" behavior has worn my patience thin.

Even if Sony re-releases it?

Exactly.
I already own the first transfer of "The Terminator".
It was one of my first BDs and I will happily upgrade if a superior transfer sees the light of the day.
