Terminator

Terminator films available on 4K UHD, ranked by transfer quality.

The Terminator(1984)

dir. James Cameron

Warner 40th Anniversary 4K with Dolby Vision and Atmos, scanned from the original negative. Collectors are split on the AI enhancement tools Cameron used in the transfer, with some calling it a revelation and others wanting the grain back. The mono track is worth trying after the Atmos mix.

Terminator: Dark Fate(2019)

6.2/10

dir. Tim Miller

A-Tier

Decades after Sarah Connor prevented Judgment Day, a lethal new Terminator is sent to eliminate the future leader of the resistance. In a fight to save mankind, battle-hardened Sarah Connor teams up with an unexpected ally and an enhanced super soldier to stop the deadliest Terminator yet.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day(1991)

8.6/10

dir. James Cameron

D-Tier

D-Tier Lionsgate 4K and a famously bad transfer. The steelbook artwork is great and sells well, but the disc inside is one of the worst 4K presentations of a major film. People buy the steelbook planning to swap the disc if a better version ever comes out.
