One Hell of a Thrill Ride!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2011)

So I am watching this movie right now on AMC and it took me back to when I originally saw it. I was in college in 1984 and I went to see this film with a good friend of mine. It grabbed my attention from the opening credits and would not let me go!
I had seen Arnold in a few movies so he was familiar. His performance was perfect. The adorable Linda Hamilton is terrific as the scared "mother of the future". The story is creepy because 26 years after it opened the concept of a machine man is believable. When this movie ended I walked out of the theater exhausted. Very few movies have had that effect on me.
I have watched this film maybe 30 times and never gotten bored. Highly recommended for viewing.
