So, is the movie a potential spoiler to the future?

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2013)

This movie is my all-time FAVORITE film. I was being born as it was released. Maybe my parents went to the theater while the night of? I don't know. What I do know, is that this movie had a killer plot and a poetic styled script. Most of the people I know who have watched this movie think of it only as an action movie. They don't seem to grasp the underlining theme of love and what you would do to protect those you care about most. Like Connor said, "The machine seemed like more of a father than any of the ten's of men I brought home trying to protect him". This movie is moving, and YES, the action is groundbreaking. This is a "Hold on to your butt's" (Samuel L. Jackson in Jurassic Park) kind of movie. Arnold portrayed a role he had previously done 7 years earlier but with more style and a sense of really embracing this emotionless machine who couldn't understand simple emotional functions. "I know now why you cry." was possibly the most memorable line for me in the entire movie (Considering "I'll be back" or "Hasta La Vista, Baby" or the smirking "Trust me"). This machine had been through so much with this future-rebel savior that he had just understood an emotion. It was like breathing for the first time. Every aspect of this film was portrayed fantastically, from the camera work, to the long hours of early-computer graphics work done in movies. It was sad to see the following installments not to be as compelling as Judgement Day. I can't believe I'm saying this, but James Cameron has always been at the top of his game, always including only the newest, most advanced CGI or graphics that were available. He's always able to pull it off in such a way that he has no competition.
