In the year 1984, a classic was made. Like no other, this was "The Terminator"

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2011)

Arnold Schwarzenegger, what can you say of the man? He has appeared in the worst of the worst, yet he slowly climbed to fame. His most memorable franchise is no doubt "The Terminator" franchise. The film is directed by James Cameron and he truly brings the screen to life. You can feel what the characters are feeling. Fear, excitement, and hope.
The films soundtrack is also the most fitting soundtrack for a movie besides "The Graduate" soundtrack. It's a dark soundtrack just like the movie. The film takes place in 1984, where Kyle Reese travels back in time to save Sarah Conner from a future machine. A improbable relationship blossoms between Reese and Sarah as they battle the machine. I don't want to give away and plot twists, so I won't go into any more detail. The action is awesome, and the effects are way ahead of its time.
This sci-fi film is on par with Star Wars. "The Terminator" has its little charm that no other film will ever have. Not even its sequels. Although "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" is perhaps even better than the 1st movie. I am aware of the T.V. show, I have seen several episodes and the show does not even come close to this film. If you don't have this movie, you need to close your browser, use the most convenient transportation device, ride to your local video store. Find the film and take it to the cashier. Hand the cashier how ever much money it costs. Take the film with you and return to your house. Put the film in a DVD-Player/VHS player. And watch the film, it's that good!
