Best ever sci-fi movie till now, the original and the BEST.

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

There is simply no flaw in this movie. From casting, to direction to the great script. Arnie was born to do this role. Michael was a perfect hero and James was the only to pull it out, by his standards. Arnie had a very small amount of lines but more-less all of them are memorable. From "i'll be back" to his multiply options of answers while repairing his face damage. Even Reese's one-liners like "Come with me if u want 2 live" are legendary. And our main hero dies. I mean in how many movies nowadays this happen? I was always against any syrupy happy-endings but this one is just about perfect. What about that picture at the end? The beginnings of this masterpiece might be in some other classics like "Blade runner" or "Mad Max", than Cameron definitely borrowed from "Westworld", but somehow he managed to create his own space. There are countless books written about it and there will always be a debate which one is better T1 or T2? For me personally after more than 10000 movies seen there are just a few with 10 points. Terminator is one of them.Star Wars, Matrix and Alien come up to the near second in sci-fi section but "I'll be back!" rules. Still after more than 20 years it is not dated or outlived. It still has the visual flair, "that accent" and just a great story. Made on low budget it became one of the most influential movies of 80's, and 4 me it is the original and best ever sci-fi movie 'till now.
