the most important change in sci-fi history

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2003)

Before The Terminator was launched in the cinema's, science-fiction was always the same: people floating around in space in their spaceships, discovering new planets with evil aliens, and the brave, heroic astronauts of course win all the battles. All these movies like: Star Trek, Star Wars, Battle Star Galactica, etc. started really to bore the people. Of course Star Trek and Star Wars were pretty cool, but after those movies, the rip-off sci-fi started. Until 1984. This year was an important year for the science-fiction, because this is the story: in 2029 the world is in hands of the machines, which are raised out of the nuclear mess after the Nuclear War. But the machines are almost defeated by mankind, thanks to their leader John Connor. But the machines sent a advanced cyborg back to 1984 to kill the mother of this leader: Sarah Connor. The humans sent also a fighter back to protect sarah and make sure that John Connor will be born.
Nobody could ever make a science-fiction with a story like this, but after The Terminator, there came a lot of movies like this. Movies like: Cyborg, Timecop and many more. Another important thing of The Terminator are the actors. In The Terminator are exactly the right actors chosen and so is the music. This all together makes The Terminator a classic sci-fi movie
