Review of The Terminator (1984) by Zak M — 09 Jul 2013
The first movie in The Terminator franchise, stood out back in 1984 and made James Cameron a household name. Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance is highly underrated with most people saying that anyone could play this role.
I don't find this to be true and Arnold is awesome in this movie. There are some really intense scenes, especially when they are in the offices. The pacing is pretty good, and the storyline is good aswell.
The special effects and CGI do not hold up very well though. Watching the movie in 2013, a lot of the visuals feel very dated. Regardless, "Terminator" is a good start to a very iconic action franchise.
