The Terminator review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/26/11
Th year 2029, machines eliminate human existence. Back in 1984, a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), is programmed to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). A human named Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), a human resistance fighter, ensures that Connor is protected. Kyle divulges to Sarah that in the future an artificial intelligence network called Skynet will become self-aware and initiate a nuclear holocaust of mankind. Sarah's yet-unborn son John will save the survivors and lead a resistance movement against Skynet. Special effects were pleasing to the eye and screenplay was original. Only qualms this critic has was the lack of an interesting protagonist, lack of continuity of the film and its somewhat disappointing conclusion. The Terminator however is a sensational sci-fi action film that is considered one of the best, which will become one of the successful and popular franchises in the genre.
