One of the best movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2008)

This movie is so great that I can't even begin to comprehend as to why it's not rated higher here on IMDb. It's a dark, gritty, relentlessly entertaining Sci-Fi Horror movie that features terrific performances all-around, a chilling score, and Arnold as the unstoppable villain. The special effects were very impressive for it's time, especially considering the budget. This movie has so many memorable & creepy scenes like the police station shoot-out, the scene where The Terminator is repairing his eye and arm, hell the beginning where he kills the punk teenagers is creepy as hell, especially upon first viewing since you have no idea what it actually is. Anyway, in my opinion this movie alone already established James Cameron as a genius, but then he made a equally great sequel. It gets a 10/10 from me, and it's undoubtedly one of my favorite movies of all-time.
