Pretty much all of the original film grain was removed.   I was not impressed.

I still think it looks better than the Blu-ray. And for $7.00, I bought it.

Yeah, I read reviews saying that. But for $7.50, and not having seen it before, I went ahead with it anyway.

Question on this - does this big price drop possibly hint at a revised, improved 4K release? This seems to be one of the early-ish 4K catalog releases with a lot of complaints from the mentioned film grain / DNR issue to having only the theatrical cut on the 4K disc.

I doubt it.

Considering this movie has been released on Blu-ray about 379 times, I'm sure we'll see multiple 4K editions in the coming years.

Now you are just exaggerating. Terminator has only been released 377 times on BD.

Pretty much all of the original film grain was removed.  I was not impressed. 

I just watched it the other night, and at times the grain reduction was quite noticeable, and somewhat distracting.  I face similar issues when editing DSLR still photos that were shot at higher ISO, which results in increased grain and noise.  There are tools to reduce the noise, but these have to be used conservatively.  Used too much, and sure the noise is gone, but the results have a 'plastic' or 'waxy' appearance, with loss of detail.

So I agree - noise reduction was used a bit too much at times, with faces having that 'waxy' kind of appearance in places.  But the detail was quite crisp at other times, with no ill effect from the overall noise reduction.  I think that when the image in question is a bit out of focus in the original, the noise would be more evident, and when reduced, produces that waxy quality.  But when the focus is crisp, the detail was really outstanding.

Regardless, I enjoyed the movie, and it was definitely worth $7.50!
