An Important Action Film

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2010)

When it came out many people saw this film as a bad, low-budget B-move, and laughed at it. These people couldn't have felt very smart afterwords...
The Terminator can be looked on two different ways: either it's a average sci-fi action film about a killer robot that goes on a killing spree, or it may be one of the best and deepest sci-fi movie ever made. I see it as the last one. Sure the action is great and Arnold as the terminator is just bad-ass. But I feel that it contains a message(or warning) that maybe technology moves at a speed that may cause it to harm us in the end. When you think about it, when this movie came out, many of the things in the movie seemed impossible. But now only 30 years later we are closing in on "The Terminator" future. In this age technology are used to make weapons more and more advanced, and we are already using robots on the battlefield(for example the predator drone).
This makes me think, where will it stop (if ever), and will we in the end have made such powerful weapons that it exposes a threat to mankind... something to think about.
I'll be back
