Happy birthday to a monumental motion picture

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Terminator" (1984) is a true classic, and one of the most important movies ever created. By "important" I mean that it started lots of things, which later became very common in cinema itself.
There isn't anything new that I could write about this picture that was wasn't said hundred times before. Everything in this movie works and clicks on all cylinders. Made only for couple of bucks (in terms of today's sci-fi / "actionier" budget, even considering B movies) it stuck in people memories forever. How did maestro J. Cameron achieve that?
Here are the main reasons in my opinion: Original and high concept story; Very good and believable acting by all involved; Great script; Cool action scenes; Terrific pacing; and of course all cudos to all technical stuff, effects, cinematography and so on. The idea was always the driving force behind movie, which is now safe to call masterpiece. J. Cameron proofed his genius with his first movie (first movie I mean "Terminator", not flying fish stuff J).
Overall, as you have already saw this picture many times, there is nothing new to say. It's a true classic in every meaning of this word. Even now, 30 years after its release, this small budget B movie sci fi flick from 80's is still managing to attract audiences. If you could check some torrent sites, you would always see this film as one of the most down loadable, whenever you check it, no matter what season is, what movies there are – it's always among the most popular. It's simply just for one reason – a true movie entertainment is timeless and ageless.
