The Terminator has been widely and enthusiastically praised in both US and UK, and while in the US the film got spotlights in muscle/fitness magazines or scifi themed ones, UK not only had a feature article in its February 1985 issues of the Film Review movie entertainment magazine, but it also gave the film its only full cover in the UK (it had two full covers in the US)
If you're a loyal reader of the site you noticed that UK had quite a few Review magazines and The Terminator had been often prominently featured in them. Come to think of it, all of the film's articles in the UK seem to be reviews, and they're all raving.
So while this magazine issue does give its entire over to The Terminator, it features only the film's description, brief (raving) review and, what seemed to be an obligatory Arnold Schwarzenegger bio.
The article describes the plot but also recalls the less popular origins of the Terminator story origins - that Jim came up with it when working on Battle Beyond Stars, but that's simply sourced from the Press Kit.
Can't really say the magazine has any interesting info or rare photos, but it's great at least for the fact its the only full Terminator cover in the UK at the time. It did became more of a rarity in the recent years and can get a bit expensive in the US eBay circles
