Classic sci fi. - The Terminator review by Steve
Great dialogue. Fantastic brain troubling concept. Proper pre-CGI effects and sets. And incredible stunts. The intense final sequence of the film is as exhilarating as the action film gets.

Superb horror dressed up as scifi - The Terminator review by JD
Like many of camerons films the stories from the making of this film sound like there was serious challenges for those involved. Steming from Camerons drive for perfection and extracting every last dime from the limited budget.
And from that there is a pattern. Both Arnie and Michael have ridden through other tough productions without complaining - these are tough actors playing there hardman roles. And importantly this goes for Linda Hamilton to. She is brilliant in this and its clear to see why her character is today recognized as one the greatest of all action heros. Few start off so completely out of there depth and grow into someone who remains flawed - yet is crushingly effective at there task. Its a brilliant character and brilliantly played (both from T1 through T2)
Its just a couple of small parts of what is a fantastic film start to finish. And Cameron was just warming up with this piece of cinematic glory.
If i was measuring this film by 2022 standerds its an easy 5 star film.
