Post Apocalypse from robot 101.

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2016)

We, humans, have imagined for centuries who the world would be in the future. This is one of the most usual setting for science fiction and the most common of that variety is the post-apocalyptic future, in which all things more or less goes to hell and humans have to survive in the wreckage of our fallen civilization. Now there have been many interpretations of that kid over the years in books, television series, comic books and most prominently in films.
Now Terminator isn't the first science fiction film in a post apocalyptic world, far from it there have been dozens of them with some of the most well known up to its opening in 1984 be Logan's Run, Silent Running, Soylent Green, Blade Runner and Time Machine (1960). So what made to stand out of the crown?
First it is the story ,which goes like this, in the future machines have rise up and we are in a war against them for survivor and dominance of the planet. During it Machines send back in time a robot, made to look like a human, a Terminator in order to kill Sarah Connor the mother of the leader of the resistance Jon, before she gives birth to him. For that the Resistance send also a human back to the same date in order to prevent the robot from its goal!
The story was one of the most original at the time for it made a revolutionary change to the Post Apocalypse: use time travel as a weapon, back in 1984 this idea was ground breaking for none have though up to that point "Why not kill the future at its root?. One other thing that was added was hardcore action in the mix and the result was so successful that after this flick many movies and comic books were written using this style, with 12 Monkeys and X-men Days of Future Past been just two examples.
In short the movie rocks, the action rocks , the effects are awesome ,apart from one scene and I think that was the first movie to make the Predestination Paradox famous. Also the fact that from 1984 and beyond robot killing machine look much more threatening doesn't hurt either for before 1984 all robot looked like radios on legs!
If you haven't seen it ,do it and if you believe that Terminator Genisys was a shame to the Terminator Logo ,we are on the same side!!
