Kind of dated today, but still entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2005)

It's easy to figure that T1 wasn't make with the same kind of budget than T2. The futuristic scenes at the beginning looks pretty cheesy! There's some scenes that makes you say: oh! come on! Like when Sarah is running faster than a truck. Or the little love affair that grows bigger even though there's a killing machine going after them. And of course the police sirens when everything's finish. In how many movies have we seen that.
But still, The Terminator is a good movie. Arnold is very good, even though I can't say the same for Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn. The Terminator is not a classic, but it's entertaining nevertheless. Even though I preferred T2, T1 is deeper (even with all the flaws that the movie contains).
Seen at home, in Toronto, on January 28th, 2005.
