One of my all-time favorites!

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2011)

This completely went beyond all my expectations. Non-stop action, and tons of "what's gonna happen next?" moments. I started watching it thinking it was gonna be good - it was great. If there's anything I didn't like, it was that they made the future seem so dark. Overall it had a great sense of being in the action from beginning to end. I sure didn't expect the terminator to die in the way he did, neither did I expect Reese to get killed either. Another thing I liked was that Sarah Connor didn't even believe Reese about the Terminator until the police station scene (that was pretty funny how she saw the Terminator get up after being shot in the club, and still didn't believe it). I do have a question, though. When the Terminator went into the gun shop, they didn't do a background check for him or make him sign any forms (before he shot the clerk). Imagine if they did..."Sir, you're from the future, you're a man-killing robot, and we can't sell you these." But my point is - this is a great movie for both action and sci-fi lovers alike. Thumbs up.
