YouTube and Google Play Movies add further US options, while Rakuten TV and Sky Store do the same in the UK and Fetch TV in Australia.

Renting or buying is the dependable route when a film is not on a subscription service. For a marathon, start with the Terminator movies in order guide, then match each film to a service that already includes it.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day and The Terminator are the two films that justify picking a service around them, and that is an opinion based on how the series built its reputation. The Terminator was made for $6.4 million, according to Box Office Mojo, and Cameron's night shoot in Los Angeles, Stan Winston's endoskeleton work and Brad Fiedel's synthesizer score gave it a scale far beyond that budget. Its Amazon Prime Video listing in all three countries makes it the easiest entry point.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day cost $102 million, and the money shows in the T-1000 chase through the shopping mall, built with ILM's computer graphics alongside Winston's practical effects. It also has the widest spread of subscription homes, from Paramount Plus in the US and UK to Stan and BINGE in Australia, and the Studiocanal channels in the UK.

The sequels differ in tone, which matters when a service only carries one. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, directed by Mostow with Nick Stahl as John Connor, swaps Cameron's grim intimacy for large-scale vehicle destruction, and Claire Danes joined as Kate Brewster after Bush was replaced three weeks into filming, according to TV Guide. Terminator Salvation, directed by McG, moves the story to 2018 and the war against Skynet, and it carries a PG-13 rating in the US where the first three films are rated R. Terminator Genisys, with Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, rewrites 1984 itself, which makes it the one to watch after the original. Terminator: Dark Fate reunited Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger 28 years after Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Fox News reported that its Mexico scenes were filmed in Spain, in Madrid neighborhoods.

On Disney Plus, Terminator: Dark Fate is the single title in the UK and Australia, so that service suits viewers who only want the latest film.
