A definite action classic!

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2000)

This movie, in my opinion, was the first and best action classic (Die Hard, RoboCop and Lethal Weapon are also up there with it). It had interesting characters, dynamite action, one of Hollywood's creepiest villians, and a dark atmosphere you couldn't cut with a machete.
It's the story of a future that is controlled by machines as most of civilization was destroyed and only a handful of humans are left to fight them. One of those machines is sent back to 1984 to kill the mother of the leader of the future human resistance. But then a future soldier is sent back with it to protect her.
The high points of this movie were:
1. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the coolest actor ever, he played the role so believably it was scary.
2. The moody atmosphere. When you see it you'll know what I mean.
3. Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn. Two great actors who did a great job in this movie.
4. It has one of the greatest movie quotes in history:"I'll be back."
The low points are:
1. When you see the movie after a few times the plot starts to seem way too simple. That's why I liked the sequel better.
2. It could've used a little comic relief. I couldn't really find any. Except maybe for the scene where Arnold shouted a dirty line at a janitor. Another reason I liked the sequel better.
3. Arnold could've used some more dialogue. These low points didn't drag down the movie any though. This movie is classic, no doubt about it. Check it out if you haven't seen it. You won't regret it. 10/10
