Guide to Streaming ‘The Terminator’ Movies on Netflix

I’ll be back. The classic line Arnold Schwarzenegger first muttered in 1985 to a police officer before ramming down the front door with a car, since then The Terminator series has been known for some of the most iconic one-liners of all time such as Hasta la vista, baby and even ‘Get out!’.

If you’re not familiar with the movie series then allow us to fill you in with a bit of backstory. The Terminators are machines sent back in time to kill subjects before they can have an influence in the war that’s to come between the humans and the machines, run by an artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence was created to safeguard mankind, but it took a bad turn. There was an original trilogy of movies, a reboot and the brand new movie now showing in cinemas called Terminator : Genisys.

So you’re wondering if you can stream the terminator movies right? Let’s help answer that question.

The Terminator (85)

This is the place where everything began. It celebrates its 30th year anniversary. It has the classic traits of a great 80’s movies, the odd soundtrack, over the top action sequences, brutal one-liners and of course – the hair styles! It features a much younger Arnie who’s been sent back to kill Sarah Connor, who’s son is destined to overthrow the machines in 2027. It’s back when the terminator was on the evil side and is a stone cold killer.

The Terminator is streaming on Netflix in Australia, Brazil, Canada, South America, France and Sweden.

Terminator 2 : Judgement Day (1991)

Judgement Day was released six years later than the original. It features more advanced technology that can power larger sequences. Unlike the first movie, Arnie has been sent back in time to protect the young John Connor from another terminator who’s trying to kill John. This Terminator is my favorite, despite the explosions.

Terminator 2 streaming online on Netflix Canada, Netherlands and Switzerland.

Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines (2003)

John Connor is saved by Skynet as a kid and he hides underground to stop Skynet tracking him. That’s until a brand new Terminator, the TX, is unleashed on the world hunting him down and Arnie returns to save John. The TX is the smartest, strongest and quickest of the Terminators and is a tough match for the Terminator and with Skynet now at it’s birth it’s do or die for John and the campaign to stop Skynet.

Only in Belgium, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines can be viewed on Netflix.

Terminator : Salvation (2009)

Terminator: Salvation, as mentioned previously, took a big step back from Arnold Schwarzenegger. It tried to reinvent itself and become a strong action film. Although it was a success, it wasn't a great movie. While Sam Worthington and Christian Bale are well-known for their performances, the film ended up being a dull affair. It’s worth a watch for die-hard action movie fans though.

Terminator : Salvation can be viewed on Netflix in Belgium and France, as well as Sweden.
