The original Arnold action flick!

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 1999)

A good film to watch every now and then to see how a film made with a miniscule amount of money can end up looking like a big-budget extravaganza. It was the film that made Arnold Schwarzenegger famous, and also put ace director James Cameron on the map. It is surprisingly fresh to watch 15 years later, and most notable are some good effects, and excellent stop-motion animation that must have required a heck of a lot of work. However, it is obvious that this film alludes to many other works.
