The start of a generational franchise

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2019)

Having it being over 35 years since the release of the Terminator back in October 1984, this is the film which has seemingly spawned sequels last over three more decades. Now finally watching this movie in full and paying closer attention to detail, one can see as to why it is as highly praised as it is.
What stands out is not only Arnold's performance as the Terminator but the pacing of the film is top notch and it keeps the audience guessing each way. The suspense and mystery is intriguing and we are watching to see what happens next.
Filled with many great action scenes and a plot that makes us think- and sets our mind thinking about possible realistic outcomes. One of a kind film that delivers on all around action, slick fears and compatible characters.
