Breakthrough Sci-Fi!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2011)

The 70's and 80's are two decades that produced breakthrough movies in science fiction and action. Besides Terminator, we got Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and more. The Terminator is a welcome addition to that group. Despite the low budget, this movie was a box office hit and a fan favorite.
This is about a machine who came from the future in order to destroy Sarah Connor so she doesn't give birth to her son.
Arnold proves in many movies that he knows how to do action. This must have been the first movie I rooted for the villain. Don't get me wrong, I still sympathized with Sarah. It's just that The Terminator is very hardcore.
Overall, this is a masterpiece by James Cameron. If it wasn't for a semi slow start, this movie is perfect. I rate this film 9/10.
