one of the best ever but still a couple of points to raise

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2009)

this is a brilliant film of course, but certain things do occur can put a deeper slant on the plot if you analyse it.
Firstly Kyle Reese's arrival in 1984 Los Angeles. We are given the insight in the opening sequences that the world he comes from has become a desolate hell, beyond imagination. So i find it a bit odd that he should not be overawed with the relative comfort of 1984 and suffer a spot of freaking out accordingly, not leg it into a department store and try on a pair of Nike Sneakers. Also some pussy would probably not go a miss either.
Then the line that always gets me is the "Terminator is out there" speech. OK fair enough but what if the Terminator had killed Sara Connor? What isn't explained is what would the Terminator do until 1997? I like to think he would possibly go on an extended vacation to Acapulco or something.
I also find the scenes where Sara's friend is having multiples listening to her Walkman to be a bit superficial as well, especially when she goes into the kitchen and starts drumming with some celery.
