one of the greatest action films

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2004)

This is a fantastic film, and one that still sets the benchmark for action type blockbusters.
The special effect are wonderful, even by todays standards. It was probably this film that made Arnold Schwarzenegger infamous.
This film has a very interesting and original plot. It contains everything from sadness and despair to romance and happiness. It is superior to the first terminator, and takes the good points from that film and supersedes it. I think this film exceeded most people's expectation.
The explosions are excellent and in one scene an entire office block is blown up.
Although the terminator has few lines, his character clearly evolves. The film is a little complicated to grasp, and is probably best understood and appreciated the second time one watches it.
The concept of the film has greater relevance in todays world, because computers play a greater part in our lives. It may show us where not to go in the future.
