* * * * * OUT OF FIVE

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2003)

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes an imposing presence as a cyborg sent back in time to terminate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) to change history, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a soldier from the future sent to thwart Schwarzenegger's plans. The Terminator is a movie that defined the term Sci-Fi/Action movie , this classic is so well put together that it's scary, indeed for a 7 million dollar movie this is quite an impressive feat. Even though it spawned a worthwhile sequel, this one gets by just on raw energy as well as first rate acting where as the sequel relied on special effects to tell the story. Overall The Terminator is a movie that should not ever be missed.
