23 years and still kicks a lot of asses. Memorable scenes with the cutting eye, or the t1000 skeleton are fantastic. Awesome music, and a fantastic script. Well done Mr. Cameron. |

If I were writing this review back in 1983, I would give it four stars. But, I saw T2 before this one, I can say that it is not as good. Having said that, it is still one of the best sci fi action movies of all time, even if overacted. |

Looks a bit dated now, but the original Terminator is still a pretty good thrill ride. A seemingly unstoppable machine is sent from the future to kill the mother of an unborn boy who will lead the machine resistance in the future. A man is also sent to protect her. With guns blazing and chases galore - Terminator has enough action to fill two movies. |

Impressive Sci-Fi, One of the Best |
|
Classic Sci-Fi action film that definetly thrills. Enough suspense and action to blow your mind really. I mean, even 25 years later, the movie is still awesome. Fun to watch a ruthless 'no remorse' sort of Arnold run down everything in sight to kill Sarah Connor. The movie is the definition of 'Prime Entertainment.' And what compliments it so nicely is it's great plot. Yep, a solid action movie where shit's blown up, with a plot to cause it all. The Terminator really is one of the best Sci-Fi films ever, and is a must-see for a fan of the genre. Well, if you love sci-fi, chances are you've already seen it. Even more a reason to watch it again!
FINAL SCORE :::: 85% :::: |

A classic that holds up well |
|
I consider this a classic. Even though it's dated, it's still a terrific movie. The plot and script are pretty good. The whole time parodox thing makes my head spin if I think about it too long . (John Conner sends his future father back in time to save him and....well....become his father!!) The special effects seem old fashioned now, but were quite effective when the movie first came out. The dramatic music amuses me a bit. Arnold is effective in his role as the terminator. With just a handful of lines to say, he is a menacing killer from the future. The movie is full of tense moments and just enough action to accent the story, not overwhelm it. I've seen it tons of times and reccomend it if someone out there hasn't seen it. |
