James Cameron's THE TERMINATOR is one of the tightest, tensest sci-fi films ever made and a landmark in the genre. In the year 2029, battles rage between the superintelligent...
more...machines that rule the world and the last vestiges of humanity. In late-20th-century Los Angeles, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) suddenly finds herself stalked by an unstoppable killing machine--a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent from the future to kill her and her unconceived son, John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance. Sarah can rely only on Reese (Michael Biehn), a soldier sent from the future to protect her from the seemingly indestructible Terminator and save humanity. This low-budget masterpiece was the breakthrough film for director Cameron, who weds special effects, thrills, and understated romance to create one of the finest action films of the 1980s, which spawned many imitations but few equals. Science fiction author Harlan Ellison sued over the film's similarities to his own works, especially the OUTER LIMITS episode 'Demon with a Glass Hand', and won acknowledgement in the film's credits. Schwarzenegger will forever be known as the relentless Terminator, a heartless killing machine who returns (in a kinder, gentler form) in 1991's TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY.

Review of Terminator (Ultimate Edition) by tommyb123

Advantages: good film to watch
Disadvantages: maybes bit long

...it is very plot-driven). The Terminator himself (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger of the "Conan" series) is treated like a movie monster. The early part of the film acts as a slasher flick as he goes from house to house killing off humans. Suspenseful music and darkened rooms abound. Later, as the backstory gets more fleshed out, the film becomes essentially a straight-up robotic cat and living mouse action movie. The concept of the Terminator is a ... Read review

Stop ripping us off, Hollywood
Review of Terminator (Ultimate Edition) by jedistu

Advantages: Best movie of the eighties
Disadvantages: Yet another re-relaesed, messed with movie

The Terminator is a great movie that even now stands the test of time. You just know that you are in for a treat when you see a naked Arnold Schwarzenegger at the start, walk up to a bunch of street punks, and put his fist through the torso of the dude who stabs him after being ordered by Arnie to give up his clothes and boots. What follows is Arnie attempting to win the future war against mankind by murdering his way through the Los Angeles ... Read review

Review of Terminator (Ultimate Edition) by y01larkin

Advantages: you could watch this film over and over again
Disadvantages: none

...elements of the story. The Terminator is a cyborg, so it naturally does what a cyborg would do. It stares coldly at its targets, scanning them, before pulling out its gun and blowing them away. This could have been one of the film elements that became unintentionally comical. A thing that just stares coldly at someone is not something that one may be afraid of…unless, it was done properly. There are many elements in Cameron’s script that help turn ... Read review
