Customer Reviews

Three decent movies with PQ on one a stumbling block
First of all, I own all three of these movies on DVD so I never would have purchased them at more than the $32 they are selling for (as of Oct. 14, 2009).
The movie that gave me the most pause for thought was actually "The Terminator." Not because it's a bad movie, but because its picture-quality transfer has been so hammered by critics with one critic on another site saying it was no better than an upscaled DVD. Unfortunately I have to largely concur with this verdict, it may be slightly better than an upscaled DVD, but not by very much. The movie itself is one of my favorites and has been since it was released in 1984.
I would guess that "The Day After Tomorrow" is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me and although I already own the two previous DVD editions this is the first time I am purchasing it. I received the other editions in my professional position as a DVD reviewer (much like I did for "I, Robot"). Anyhow, despite its rather preposterous plot I find the movie entertaining on a very basic level and mildly diverting with some truly likeable characters. The PQ and AQ are hardly reference quality but certainly better than for either of the DVDs.
Where this collection really shines is in regards to "I, Robot" The transfer on this Blu-ray is simply stunning with a high level of detail and a picture devoid of defects. Also excellent is the audio quality of the transfer which can also be summed up with the word "stunning." The Blu-ray also includes some fairly comprehensive special features including three commentary tracks and a handul of featurettes (with one clocking it at an hour, 16 minutes).
Overall a good buy and recommended.

For sci-fi geeks only
First of all it doesn't make any sense to buy groups like these unless you can find enough redeeming features in all of them to make them worth watching. I thought the most about the Day After Tomorrow, the weakest of the group. I found that if you ignore the pretense, i.e., that the world is going freeze up, flood, and otherwise go to hell all within a few days, its not so bad. Watch it for the effects. The Terminator is an easy pick, and while I, Robot did not in any meaningful way track the classic Asimov story it does have its good points. You just wonder why they didn't follow the Asimov story to begin with. If you're a sci-fi geek, go for it. Otherwise, buy The Terminator and forget the other two.

Not worth it! even at gold box prices
why but 2 movies you dont want when you could buy a collectors edition terminator blu-ray movie for less?

terminator is by far the best movie of the set. even 25 years later it has held up nicely even the stop motion effects of the evil robot are acceptable and add to the charm of this classic sci fi film. but for $30 you could get a collectors addition with mulitple discs that include commentaries and making of features that you would enjoy much much more than the day after tommorow and I, robot

also the gold box price is still $29 thats about the same deal you will get at costco or target so dont be in a rush to grab this "deal"
