Film Review

In the year 2029, advanced military computer Skynet and the killer machines it controls have all but taken over the earth and killed all of it's inhabitants. Only a handful of humans remain and form the Resistance, lead by John Connor. When the Resistance stand to overcome the machines, Skynet decides to remedy the situation by sending a machine back through time to 1984, it's mission to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton - In Your Dreams, Terminator 2) before her son John, the future leader of the Resistance, is born. The machine in question is The TERMINATOR (Played by Arnold Schwarzenegger - Predator, Total Recall, End of Days), a cybernetic organism covered in living tissue in order to look human. The Resistance send back human Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn - Planet Terror) to protect Sarah from the machine. Bullets don't even serve to slow the ruthless Terminator down, and he will stop at nothing to ensure that his mission is complete.

This is a fantastic film and Schwarzenegger does a great Job at playing the ruthless killing machine, really bringing the part to life. A tense Sci-fi action thriller with plenty fantastic dialogue and action sequences that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Some of the special effects look a little dated now but the film was made in 1984! The story however, by James Cameron (Titanic, True Lies) is one of the best around. Great film that everyone must see!
