90/100
The future, being controlled by machines but losing to the human resistance, sends back a Terminator to kill the resistance leader's mother before she gives birth to him and the resistance sends back a soldier to save her. One of the classic thrillers of the 80's by newcomer James Cameron, is still just as exciting today as it was then. Arnold Schwarzenegger in his initial outing in the iconic, bad-ass role that he would never outdo. Great action, gunfights, car chases, twisted story line, all moving at a breakneck pace that will keep you glued to your seat. -- DrNostromo.com

This movie is perfectly crafted and perfectly paced
fantastic on every level
Even rotten tomatoes gave it 100%
Special effects are dated but it was 1984

I really don`t think about it as much as when I first saw it, but I think it was a good movie and I think what could have made it a classic movie was if it had a bit more work on the ending. Awesome action scenes, I must admit
