Now Terminator has become a staple of icon upon icon for action movies. For the most part, I don't blame people for saying that. The Terminator films (with the exception of 3 and 4) are all entertaining.
So if you haven't seen the first one let me go down the plot; A machine is sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, the mother of the child that would lead the human resistance to defeat the machines, a soldier from her son's army is also sent back to protect her. It was a surprisingly effective sci-fi/thriller and even brought the question of man's nature with machines into play. Its actually my favourite Terminator film.
The plot to THIS Terminator film is almost like it was made by fan fiction. Two Terminators are sent back in time, one to kill John Connor as a child, one to protect him. The film actually has a well done execution and it does feature some well done action scenes and character development.
However if you line up both Terminator movies both films seem like different features. One is a science fiction thriller about the dangers of independently thinking machines, the other is a sci-fi action that started the career of Edward Furlong (really?).
So is this the 39th greatest movie of all time? Not even close. Is it one of the good Arnold Schwarzenegger movies? Yes. Check it out if you haven't already, you wont be disappointed.
