Oh, come on. This is the kind of film that teenage boys love. Bang-bang, shoot-shoot. I took the kids to watch it myself, it's fluffy entertainment, like romance movies, buncha guys running around pretending to be tough. You know. The…

Saw Terminator again after many years. Was astonished at how remarkable it still is. Perfectly cast, well-acted, and with startling special effects. Pacing was fast but didn't seem rushed or pushed. A masterpiece.

This first-rate action film is tightly scripted, intensely acted, wonderfully paced, and despite the strictures of a meagre budget, the special effects were lovingly crafted by a team under legendary Stan Winston with such skill that they…
Terrific and intense action, with the slower parts allowing for backstory explanations and relationship development. The talk of the future and the sounds a lot like what sceptics say about AI.

This film, although dated, is still fantastic. The plot is unique and gripping. Sarah Conner a young server just going about her life, is thrust into a truly unbelievable situation; her portrayal, by Linda Hamilton, is realistic and raw.…

Classic 1980s low-budget, big-concept science-fiction action yarn. Great stuff. Sure, some of the effects look like effects but this film is what got the ball rolling for taking effects to the next level when T2 came out. Some of the…

This show is so cool! A bit of the show was inappropriate, but it was still a great show! The only thing was I really don’t like Sarah Connor. Other than that the show was awesome.

Other than having a plot line that is derivative of a few early episodes of The Outer Limits television series, The Terminator is a perfect scifi/action film. The pacing is flawless and each section of the film delivers without giving the…
The Terminator is an iconic film that kicked off one of the biggest series' in the world. It features revolutionary special effects, and has one of the coolest time travel stories ever. Arnold Schwarzenegger creates a very convincing and…

3rd time around for this one. It's been years since I last saw it. The movie's power is undiminished by time, fad-and-fashion and CGI. Howcum? What makes this modestly budgeted oldie (30+ years now,) STILL the hold-your-breath grabber it…

Much of Terminator's greatness is due to its low-budget aesthetic and lo-fi energy; perhaps out of necessity, Cameron's sense of storytelling has a lean efficiency that both he and the series have long since abandoned.

Well, darlings - Personally, I think that it would've made a whole lot more sense if the Terminator had actually been sent even farther back in time and that way he could've terminated Sarah's parents before they even met each other. Yeah.…
