One of the best action movies ever

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2005)

The movie that put James Cameron (Titanic) on the map. The Terminator is a time travel movie about a cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent from the future back to murder the mother of a resistance fighter so that he will never be born. An ordinary human, Michael Biehn is also sent back by the resistance to protect the mother (Linda Hamilton.) They spend the film fleeing from the terminator. This movie is pumped full of testosterone. The chases are exciting and the terminator's relentless pursuit is harrowing. The final confrontation in the factory is scary as hell. Arnold may be maligned as an actor but this role was perfect for him. He didn't need to talk; all he needed was his square jaw and muscles. Now he's the Governator. Maybe one day he'll be the Presidentator. The Terminator is one of the best action movies ever made.
