Cold war classic.

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2019)

James Cameron's 1984 the terminator inspired by Harlan Ellison was a movie of its time, a cold war warning of possible things to come. A killing machine from a posible future is sent back in time to kill Sarah Conor in order to prevent the birth of John Conor the leader of the human resistance against the machines that are trying to wipe out humanity. As a kid games like missile command and movies like war games were a constant reminder of the possibility of a nuclear war. Never really considering what might start a nuclear war the intelligent machine sci-fi aspect of the movie is original. A Terminator hunting down mercilessly is a terrifying thought. Extremely well paste, the editing is amazing, the visuals are very well done especially for its time. Although it is extremely dated this movie is effective, terrifying and a masterpiece. James Cameron solidified his place as a brilliant filmmaker.
