Gov. Arnold Comes Back from the Future

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2008)

James Cameron's time-bending sci-fi classic stars Governor Arnold as everyone's favorite cyborg sent back in time to assassinate the future leader of a resistance group that will wage war against a race of machines.
The original film has a low-budget quality that makes it look quaint next to its big Hollywood sequels, but it somehow works well with the material. It gives the film the look and feel of one of those exploitative grindhouse movies from the 1970s, and I dug it.
With Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn, and a whole bunch of other people that would show up in James Cameron's "Aliens" a couple of years later.
Grade: A
