Classic movie, even though the sequel was better.

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2000)

''The Terminator'' is a masterpiece. It might not be very much of a ''cinema art'' experience but it sure is entertaining. The actors are perfect ( who can say Schwarzenegger isn't doing a bad job here ) and Cameron gets a great start as a director. Cameron did many good movies later on ( ''Aliens'' and ''Titanic'' of course included ), but his greatest work ever has got to be ''Terminator 2''. It's a lot better, but to be on the safe side, watch this movie first. 8.5 out of 10.
