An influential classic!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2015)

The Terminator is one of the most popular and well-known science fiction movies ever made. The film is quite well-paced and provides thrills throughout its runtime. Even though the special effects might not dazzle the people who are watching in 2015, they must have been quite impressive at the time it was released. The story involves a Terminator that is a Cyborg sent back into time to terminate Sarah Connor. The titular Terminator is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger who has minimal dialogs in this movie but is able to portray the ruthless demeanor of the emotionless cyborg perfectly. The film does not dwell too deep into the technicalities of time-travel but the action scenes make up for its plot holes. The director James Cameron rose to fame following the success of this movie and that is because the movie is timeless. A must watch!!!
