Worthy of it's fame

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2012)

I've heard a lot about "The Terminator",about it being one of the greatest action films ever made,all the iconic lines like "I will be back",but I never really had a chance to see it,until now.And I must say,it did not disappoint.
The plot is very creative and although it might seem confusing at first with all the time travel and stuff,the story is quite easy to follow and it sucks you in pretty quickly.You will not feel bored a single minute while watching this movie.The action scenes are awesome and ,in my opinion,choosing Arnold Schwarzenegger for the role of the terminator was ingenious,as emoting isn't exactly his strong suite,but that's exactly what is needed for such a role.
What really surprised me,was how low the budget for this film was-only 6.4 million!When you look at the movie,it seems that far more cash was thrown in to it.I especially liked the stop-motion terminator near the end,it was done extremely well.
Overall,"The Terminator" is a movie worthy of it's reputation,I strongly recommend it.
