Schwarzenegger Rising

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2019)

A towering achievement in science fiction filmmaking. The Terminator provided a simple but genius storyline that mixed elements of the genre along with the action movie. Director James Cameron brought this fully realized vision of future technology gone awry and dropped it right in the lap of 1984. This movie made a mega star out of Arnold Schwarzenegger and boosted grounded modern sci fi as the heir apparent to horror. As important as Blade Runner. Along with Aliens the best science fiction of the 80s.
