Review of The Terminator (1984) by Dylan D — 18 Sep 2013
Like the movie's villain, this film is relentless in tension, action, and appeal. Looking back, the effects are dated but the intriguing plot, fine direction, and, at least at the time, a groundbreaking and plausible science fiction story made The Terminator a film for the ages.
It engendered a new era of science fiction/action films that is only surpassed in scope by its sequel, a film with an appeal all its own that is certainly more polished and slick than The Terminator but it doesn't quite manage to beat out its predecessor in heart.
