"I'll Be Back."

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2014)

The Terminator is very much a thinker's movie. The plot is that in the future there is a war between humanity and machines. The machines send back a cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to 1984 to kill a waitress named Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) who will give birth to the future leader of the human resistance John Connor. Humanity sends a soldier named Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) to protect Sarah from the terminator. But Kyle is only human and therefore not as powerful. It has good action scenes but it's also very much a thinker's movie. It brings up questions like "Are we going to destroy ourselves?" and "Will technology outgrow humanity?" It brings up these questions which I seem to think about to this day. The best part of the movie is the police station shootout, where Schwarzenegger says the famous line, "I'll be back." Go see it.
