Action classic

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2005)

Ultimately there is only one thing that prevents me giving higher score for "The Terminator": the soundtrack. There was lots and lots of synthesized music back in 80's and from some reason James Cameron decided to be cool and hip and he wanted one in his film. Which I think was a mistake and I am really hoping, that Cameron would do a special edition with some better tracks. Now, there are some good tracks on the film, but mostly all action sequences are plagued with those horrible synthesized music tracks.
Now that I've gotten that out from my chest I can say here, that otherwise I like the film: it's greatly directed and written. Actors are good and special effects are rather good for their age.
A solid action goodness from the flashy 80's. A classic.
