"I'll be Back", a game changer for Sci-Fi

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2014)

Arnold Schwarzenegger, has proved that he can play as a Barbarian, Hercules & another version of himself in Stay Hungry. Let's see if he can play as a savage & terrorizing cyborg.
So following my last review, I decided to stay with the theme, by going with the original masterpiece, that showed viewers & critics alike that films that are visuals juggernauts can tell a complex & non-generic story.
So the plot is about a cyborg assassin from the year 2029, who is sent back to the 80's to stop the birth of future resistance leader: John Connor. But due to John not being born yet, the "Terminator" as they referenced it, was instead forced to terminate Sarah Connor.
Now the film did two things to audiences: 1. It showed that Schwarzenegger, could play a different & diverse role compared to his standard Barbarian & Weightlifter roles. 2. Sci-Fi has become a serious & cool genre as of this film, due to the film being a cult classic, it cemented along with Star Wars, that Sci-Fi's were serious & cool.
Actors & Actresses who stared in the flick included: Michael Biehn as the futuristic protector of Sarah Connor & love interest: Kyle Reese & Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor a young woman living life until, her life is changed forever.
As a film Terminator earned a total of: $78,371,200 (Worldwide), however it was amongst number # 21 in 1984's Highest Grossing Films, picking up: $38,371,200
The film was a major success to an extent, that it sported a huge & memorable blockbuster sequel: T2: Judgement Day.
The Terminator Franchise is one of Sci-Fi's crown jewels including: Star Wars. This was the bases for the next 3 films in the franchise to follow & results are: T2: Judgement Day & T3 Rise of Machines. But those films will be talked about in another review.
So my rating for this film is a 9.2 out of 10, it is a well crafted film that James Cameron should be commended on. So if you are a fan of awesome visuals, compelling stories & overall great Sci-Fi, then look no further than The Terminator.
