A Classic Film, Intelligent & Very Action Packed

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2005)

I first saw the Terminator back in 1996 at the time I hadn't seen too many science fiction films and after watching it I thought of it as one of the best films of all time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as a killing machine was sensational his character showed no fear or remorse for his actions, Linda Hamilton's portrayal of Sarah Connor a timid woman turned brave warrior amazed me in the beginning she was a girl who couldn't balance a cheque book and by the end she became a strong person prepared to face the history of things to come. Michael Biehn's role as Kyle Reese a soldier sent from the future to protect an important person showed determination. His character had emotions ranging from courage to passion it still is a great action film about transformation and preparing to face your destiny.
In the year 2029 a computer known as Skynet had waged a deadly war against humanity for years now they've created the ultimate weapon called terminators. On the outside they look human but on the inside they're cyborgs designed to kill, now a terminator has been sent back in time to May of 1984. His mission is to eliminate Sarah Connor (Hamilton) a young woman whose unborn son John will become the leader of the human resistance that will fight against the machines and achieve victory.
All that stands between them is Kyle Reese (Biehn) a young soldier sent back to protect her & ensure her survival. It's a terrifying race against time as Sarah & Kyle keep fighting a battle to the finish to smash that killer to pieces.
I rate this film 9/10
