Production Year: 1985 - Action/Adventure - Director: James Cameron - Original Language: English - Classification: 15 years and ovwriten by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd The terminator is one of those classic edge of your seat films which you can watch over and over again. The film is based in the past (which is our present). Basically man has created AI (artificial intelligence) which decided it wanted rid of us pesky humans so it sets off lots of nuclear bombs to eradicate us. But as we normally do humans fight back. So they the AI sent Schwarzenegger back in time (1984) who is a Terminator (a robot who looks human) to kill off the future mother of the leader of the human fight back and although the big man is not known for his great acting skills he more than fills the part (it helps that he says next to nothing through out the film). But as luck as it humans manage to send Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) back to protect her and predicalably love blossoms (or at least sex happens). There is some great chases and gun battles during the film but in the end The Treminator comes to a crushing end and everyone lives happily ever after, or thats what they think.
I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
Sorry for the low rating but as this is the Special Edition version I would hope to read what, as in the special features, makes this worthy of the title.
ion-brawn firmament, and both his and the movie's subsequent iconic status are well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg that kills without fear, without love,...
