Underrated DEEP MOVIE

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2012)

Not only is Judgement Day a non-stop thrill ride, it carries a message for all of humanity at a memorable time in history. The Cold War was at it's end. John Connor actually makes mention of this "Aren't they our friends now?" (referring to the Russians) in conversation with the Terminator.
The final words of the movie left me with chills. I think it went something like this. 'If a machine can begin to learn the value of human life... maybe we can too'.
In an uncertain world full of terrorist threats and nuclear weaponry it is conceivable that a nuclear holocaust similar to that of Judgement Day could occur. This message and James Cameron's brilliant direction of the movie blew me away. I am happy he did not direct any more movies in the ongoing Terminator Saga. He did what countless other directors fail in doing, I am talking about the sequel rivaling the original.
Another scene I will mention is the one where the two children are pointing toy guns at each other arguing who shot the other first. The remarks made after that went something like 'we may very likely be the cause of our own demise' (loosely speaking).
Great movie. Non-stop and creative action, and a message that is FAR deeper than the unforgettable catchphrase 'Hasta la vista baby!'.
