The first and one of the better Terminators

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2017)

I'd watched the second Terminator when I was 13 (almost 14) in the late 1990s and it wasn't until 2004 or so that I saw this one. But what a movie! This gives us the origins of Sarah Connor and her struggle against the machines. This has to be one of my favorite Arnie films; this and T2. It's also one of my favorite James Cameron sci-fi films, along with Aliens and Avatar. Though Arnie is portrayed as a villain in this one, he literally steals the show. And the special effects by Stan Winston are good too. I'll keep this one and the second one as my favorite Arnie Terminator films and avoid the others.
