Best Sci-Fi

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2005)

The Terminator is one of the greatest sci-fi films out there, it and The Matrix. The Terminator is also one of the few films that truly changed cinema, it was the first of it's kind of sci-fi film. The story is is genius, every single part of it is genius. It is a warning against the future as well as a brilliantly fun story. The screenplay is great, the dialogue is great, the characters are great, and the scenes are greatly put together. The acting is fair, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not very good, but he doesn't really have to be, so he works fine. Linda Hamilton, and Michael Biehn are both good, but not great. The direction is outstanding, James Cameron does even better than he did with Titanic, although he won't top the film it self. The visual effects are not so good, and often look very fake, the eye scene was the worst, but some parts with the metal Terminator looked bad too. The Terminator is one of the best sci-fi films ever, watch it.
