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.

Arnie strikes back!
Review of The Terminator (Definitive Edition) (DVD) by adampurcell16

Advantages: Great plot, so original
Disadvantages: None

...be special! In my opinion, the first is the, like a lot of films, because it is gripping and fresh, but the others are good too. Below is a rough outline of the plot: A futuristic assassin called "The Terminator" is sent back through time to 1984 to kill the seemingly innocent Sarah Connor-a woman whose unborn son will lead the human race to victory in a bitter future war with a race of machines. If the Terminator succeeds, mankind is doomed. Sarah's ... Read review

Classic Arnie
Review of The Terminator (Definitive Edition) (DVD) by mooney1978

Advantages: fully entertaining
Disadvantages: not long enough

...me and my friends from the first time we saw it. Arnie couldn't have played the Terminator any better than he did, and the movie is full of classic arnie quotes,there is pleny fo violence and action to keep you going. Ok maybe the effects aren't as good as some some of the more modern sci-fi movies out today but its got a gritty and dark feel to it that really improves the story. this was a great starting movie for the terminator series of movies,it ...
