The birth of the best trilogy ever.

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2003)

I've seen this film a number of times and I never get tired of it. When I first saw it and checked the year of the film and saw it to be 1984 I was gobsmacked and I thought to myself. "Woah this film is seriously ahead of its time." And it truly was. The plot itself has everything action, love, suspense, emotion and a great ending. The acting is first class aswell with superb displays from Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, Michael Bhien as Kyle Reese and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator which began an oddessy of action films for the Austrian star. As for the storyline its out of this world and is surely Cameron's brainchild. As for the premise Kyle Reese and the Terminator have been sent from the future with two different objectives, the terminator's is to kill Sarah Connor so that her unborn, unconcieved son John Connor never sees light of day. Reese's is to protect Sarah from the Terminator. Who is John Connor? John Connor is the leader of a human resistance that fights against an uprising by enhanced machines after a nuclear bomb launched onto LA. So overall the best movie of the 80's by far and always will be a classic so I give this a 10/10 sheer genius.
