The...ultimate...action flick

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2009)

I consider this movie to be a classic, and for good reason. The CGI is amazing, even for today's standards, and this was released back in '91! The action is explosive, the directing is superb, and the acting was very good, at least believable! Action movies don't require a lot of acting, heck even a coherent plot, but this movie delivers both big time thanks to film master, James Cameron. The plot sets back in '91, where we see the famous "Ahhnold!" teleported back in time, not to kill Sarah Conner or even her son, but to protect them, from the vicious, more advanced T-1000! The plot change is enough to make fan excited, because now you know your in a whole new better adventure, and not just more of the same. It's actually very touching to see "The Terminator" develop a relationship with young John Conner within the movie as it progresses. I'll admit, I wept a little bit in the end when "the terminator" sacrificed himself for the good of man kind, and as he's drowning in the pool of lava, he gives a thumbs up to John for a mission accomplished, seeming that "the terminator" actually has a conscience, if not a heart. For me though, I give this movie two thumbs way up! The effects are awesome, especially from the T-1000 aka liquid metal, it has the most memorable action/chase scene I can remember in a movie when T-1000 is chasing little John Conner with a big mack truck. Bottom line, this movie has it all. It's not just a terrific action film, it's a terrific film period!!
