"Your future is in his hands"

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2011)

A human-looking, apparently unstoppable cyborg is sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor; Kyle Reese is sent to stop it.
James Cameron is most possibly one of the best (if not the best) movie directors of all time. I have finally gotten to take the chance to see the Terminator, and see for myself what it can behold. The special effects are amazing (mild complaint to the fully-exposed Terminator though) and everything is nice to see. The plot is pretty complex but works greatly and a nice one at that. I found myself intrigued of the near future and the possibilities of what could come. The action sequences left me at the edge of my seat and had actual suspense building up inside me. I could feel my adrenaline level going up high whenever the Terminator showed up on the screen. The story also presents a slowly built love story that will tie-in with the sequel. Although not being the main theme of the movie, it plays a big part of the other movies as I can tell. This highly intelligent action-thriller is great and seeing that the second film has a way higher score than this one, I am completely ready! 9/10.
