Classic Action Film

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2020)

So I kind of did a double feature that worked incredibly well. War games and then this movie. Both are really about humanity and machine. I've heard the sequel is better then the first on this franchise, but I went into this with admittedly pretty high expectations. The movie delivers on the Sci-Fi thriller and crime story pretty well. The casting of Arnold is amazing and for the most part the special effects don't hamper it. Parts of it are supposed to be a bit tongue and cheek and I think it's done pretty well. The romance gets a bit strange but it isn't front and centre so much that you notice it too much. I found all the action and chase scenes to be pretty damn cool. I do think the world could have been built up a bit more. Since the story is all about the world being so bad they have to send a Terminator back to that humans never take over. We get a bit of development of it later on but it's not a whole amount. Still, super solid great action Sci-Fi movie with some great lines and even a bit of comedy.
