Good action flick

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2004)

This is the opening act of the highly successful Terminator series. A machine, programmed to kill a certain target, is sent back from the future. In the future, machines have taken over the world and are exterminating the human race in a huge war. Arnold Schwartzenegger stars as the Terminator and Linda Hamilton as one of the targets. The machine's incessant behavior is excellently portrayed by Arnold and he is definitely one bad boy in this film. He kills everyone in a police station to get at his target. There's lots of good action and the story is excellent. There's also a bit of a caveat for man - don't give machines too much power over you! Overall, pretty good!
