Both "Terminator" movies will always be back.

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2005)

Okay, so "The Terminator" wasn't any kind of masterpiece. But it did have an interesting premise, that a machine (Arnold Schwarzenegger) gets sent back in time to kill the mother of the future resistance leader. Admittedly, it seems a little far-fetched that Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) only has this boy because Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) gets sent back in time to protect her. But it's just a movie, people! True, if Ah-nuld had murdered the mother, then there never would have been a resistance leader to begin with, and the government wouldn't have seen any reason to send him back in time. But you can't dwell on that stuff. Just sit back and watch the action. As it is, I actually liked "T2" better, mainly because the mother was a bad-ass in that one.
