This review is for the set, not the films.
Seeing a nice collectible set for the Terminator franchise, getting this was a no-brainer. but upon receiving it, it's not what was pictured. if I get a collectible box set, I expect it to look collectible, not thrown together from various sources.the first two films are obviously custom made for this set, the texturing on the disks matches the packaging, then the third one is a silver disk, and the fourth,and bonus disk, solid black. it's very obvious the last two films weren't made for this set and after looking on youtube, discovered that when they first started making this set, they used surplus copies of T-3 and Salvation to fill the box. Not impressed. now the videos stating this were a few years old, so I'm surprised they still have these mismatched sets laying around to ship. Maybe it's my personal OCD, maybe I just want what was pictured and what I paid for, but the menus for the first two match, the last 2, not even close. again drawing away from the "Set" aspect and emphasizing they don't belong in this box. it looks like I'll be shopping around to try and find the actual matching disks to complete this set, or buying it again elsewhere, but it looks like a homemade set, not a collectible box set. Also, while the T2 disk DOES work for the film, it has a "Connect to the internet" startup feature that doesn't despite my player being permanently connected to the net. More of an annoyance than anything, but everything is updated with the latest firmware (checked weekly) so it's obviously a software problem on the original disk. (Did it ever work? who knows....) **And after watching the "set", discovered the third one doesn't even HAVE a menu. pop the disk in and the film starts playing like the cheapest DVD you've ever seen. no bonus features, no setup, no menu AFTER the film finishes, seen that a few times... clicking the "Disk menu" button on the remote brings up a pop up "Not available" I expect more from Blu-Ray.
