One of the best movies. A true classic.

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2006)

The Terminator 1984. Orion Pictures.
Review: The Terminator has one of the best stories out there. In the distant future, a cyborg has been sent back in time to stop the one that changed everything, and she does not even know it. This is an engaging, thrilling, chilling, and a wonderful movie experience. Arnold's performance as the Terminator is one of his best performances ever. Arnold is the perfect villain here. He's cold, unfeeling, menacing, evil, and kills without hesitation. Arnold's facials are also awesome. The Terminator is sent back to 1984 to follow it's prime directive: Terminate Sarah Connor, and will terminate anyone who will try to stop him. Micheal Biehn is great as Reese. The one man sent to stop the Terminator. The story unfolds, and it's gets better with character and plot development. Listen well. The action is well done and keeps you pumped. It also takes Sarah a while to finally be convinced that a evil machine has been sent to kill her. I also like it when the Terminator's skin begins to tear off and you can see the red eye's glow and metal skull. Cool visual.
The Last Word: Awesome. Remains a timeless classic. The best of the Terminator series. Arnold was perfect. One of the best villains in the history of cinema.
