Action. Science Fantasy. Horror. These were the elements in the mind of director James Cameron that brought us the most arguably iconic action movie of all time: THE TERMINATOR! Arnold Schwarzenegger is the titular villain: an advanced cybernetic killing machine known as the T-800 sent back in time to 1984 L.A. to kill Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton) who's son will lead humanity to victory the future war of man v machine. Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a Resistance soldier sent back by John Connor to protect his mother. As the two race to find Sarah before the other, the future of humanity hangs by a thread. Bullets fly, bodies drop and Sarah's world will never be the same. This box office hit rocketed Arnold to stardom. And it all started when The Running Man, who would take on a Predator and become the top 80's action Commando, told the world: "I'll be back..."
Who wins the future? How well does the effects of 1984 hold up today? Did the car insurance companies pay for all those stolen vehicles? And why did Linda and Michael's sex scene look so hot? Find out in today's review!
