Not Cameron's Peak

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 1999)

I am a big fan of James Cameron. Aliens was probably the scariest Sci-Fi movie ever made. The Abyss was one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. Terminator 2 was a fantastic blend of special effects and action. The original Terminator is a B movie that really shows its age.
Everything about the movie screams, "I CAME FROM THE '80'S!" The characters are all generic '80's characters, the dialogue uses language popular in the '80's, even the future seems '80's with the remarkably bad techno/MIDI music.
The plot is basically a copy of Halloween, which a lot of '80's movies were: Indestructible thing attacking female lead. It keeps on dying and coming back to life, just like in Halloween. I should mention that Halloween also doesn't show its age and is a much better movie.
I guess everyone likes it for the effects, which were pretty cool, but not enough to recommend the movie.
See the sequel.
I gave this a 4 out of 10.
