I'll be back!!

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2013)

In the post apocalyptic future of 2029, a war is being fought, a war between humans and the machines. With time running out for the machines they send back into the past one of its most devastating killers, a cyborg posed to look like a human, the Terminator. It has been sent to eliminate Sarah Connor, matriarch to the leader of the human resistance, but the resistance has managed to send back a protector for Sarah. Only time will tell who will reach her first....
A fantastic action movie, original in concept and one of Arnold's most iconic roles. The Terminator is fast paced, expertly directed which will entice and suck the viewer in from the first five mins of the film. This film I believe was what launched Arnold into movie stardom as well as Cameron who would both see continued success after this film. The Terminator was far from done as this film would spawn 3 sequels and an eventual fourth in years to come from now. An instant fan favorite, everything about this film is done right, the effects though aged were top notch of the time of its release, the action still gritty and in your face. The story though clichéd at certain instances, still has enough originality to make it special and something more than a simple action movie. The score fits perfectly within the mold of the film. The Terminator is a must see for film buffs as it is now considered a classic among the action film genre.
