Netflix Review

   James Rocchi 
The film that put James Cameron on the map and made Arnold Schwarzenegger an international star, The Terminator is a high-potency distillation of a bunch of sci-fi concepts (intelligent machines, the final war, time travel and so on) into one package. In the tomorrow of 2029, as the ...

Just as I remember it from the theater. It's action still holds up to any movie from the 90's or 2000. I wish the DVD soundtrack was a bit better though.

Classic! The first "Terminator" was very good, although "Terminator 2" is one of the few examples of a sequel actually being an improvement of the original. Very good for what it is, and when it was made. Frankly, I don't know where all the controversy surrounding the movie regarding the ... Complete Review

Done with the Swartz as a robot making his many resurections at least plausable, as opposed to today's flics where he's fatally wounded only to be running arroung "just fine thank you" a scene later. Good entertainment.

Wow - what a difference 20 years can make. I really liked this film when it first came out. However, the 'special effects' are anything but. The futuristic scenes are beyond lame and detract from the believability in a big way. Too bad, as the underlying story is excellent. Also, they didn't ... Complete Review

Classic Si-Fi movie. Uses one of this genres favorite themes - Time travel and how it affects the present. Arnold does some of his best acting - none and Linda Hamilton is HOT! Must See for anyone!
