Review of The Terminator (1984) by Olskoolah — 13 Jul 2015
I recently went back and watched this movie for the first time in years and man I forgot how great it really is. Everyone talks about T2 and how great it is and how it was a masterwork for visual effects, which is very true but I honestly think this first movie is better.
I know I may be in a small minority that this this one is better but just look at it, the atmosphere is fantastic. For the time and budget the scenes in the future look good even today and you get a feeling of dread and fear from seeing this wasteland that used to be our home.
The acting in this film is great and I dare anyone to disagree with me on that, it just sucks you right into the film and keeps you hooked and interested for the entire running time. One this about this film that I don't hear a lot of people talk about is the music, this soundtrack is superb.
It has the cyberpunk feel that this film asks for and has influenced many imitations. I cant imagine anyone not having seen this film but if you haven't then I implore you to seek this out, its not hard to find.
