The Terminator was The film release of the Eighties! Not many movies come close in matching The Terminators style. I remembering watching this in my early teens after a year or so of being released and it completely had me hooked to the way this film was made. Concept wise it was something that had been tried before but nothing was as polished as this. The story unfolds at a perfect pace and you are never allowed to get bored or drift away from the plot. The acting is superb in line with the movie especially Arnie, who really plays the part as a machine. If there is a movie collection especially Sci-Fi/Action and does not have this in it, then it is a collection that is Not Complete. A MUST HAVE!

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.
