I'll Be Back!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2012)

The "Terminator" was one of the best action films of all time, with the exception of it's sequel, and executed with a bunch of no name actors and a shoestring budget...not to mention a director with almost no experience, it's an amazing feat to say the least. It's been 28 years since it's release, and while some special effects have aged inevitably, the effect of the movie itself has not.
Linda Hamilton, Arnold (I'm not even going to try and spell that last name), and especially, the cult following worthy Michael Biehn for his characters alone, all give good performances. The film has a few very minor flaws, but is not reflective onto the enjoyment or quality factor. The action and the story are all paced nicely, has excellent direction, the characters have are well developed, and the overall content is quite impressive. The movie is fairly simple, but is extremely effective. Terminator has been deemed a classic and respectfully so. I'm sure it will provide a great movie experience for myself and others for many years to come. The idea of a machine sent to kill you that is all but unstoppable, without any remorse or hesitation, is very chilling and is one of the film's main reasons for such success. I don't need to say any more, you've seen it. Needless to say, this film started many careers of those involved. Classic.
An absolute must for any action or sci-fi fan's collection.
