Solid, excellent sci-fi/action

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2007)

Well, what can I say? Real 'knock your sox off' stuff from director James Cameron.
"The Terminator" keeps you on the edge of your seat from early on and barely lets up. Cameron makes full use of a fantastically original and well-worked script (co-written by himself and producer Gale Ann Hurd), and the brilliantly choreographed action sequences.
Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton and supporting cast are very believable, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly, and I mean perfectly, cast. Schwarzenegger is the Terminator.
Both the special effects and music are also fantastic. "T1" is solid, excellent entertainment. I can't wait for number two.

James Cameron's movie still holds up as one of the best action/sci-fi films ever made.
