The Terminator
http://www.ram.org/ramblings/movies/the_terminator.html
In the year 2029, the machines have acquired intelligence and are
fighting against humans in a dystopian world. Among the humans, John
Connor, in the future leads a strong resistance that puts the humans
at an advantage. The machines send a cyborg, the Terminator (Arnold
Schwarzenneger), to travel back in time to 1984 to kill the mother of
John Connor, Sarah (Linda Hamilton), before he is born. To counteract
this, the humans send Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) to protect her from
the cyborg.
When I first saw the movie, I was awed by the concept and the
effects. The imagery of the future seemed very chilling and
Schwarzenneger was perfect as a cold remorseless cyborg. Seeing it
again, I still think some of the effects are spectacular and it's
heartening to see that in some ways, Schwarzenneger hasn't changed
very much since playing his breakthrough role (the difference being
that these days he plays the hero instead of the villain). The
dialogue is terribly bad as is the acting by the supporting cast. The
score is excellent.
/Terminator/ is a great sci-fi flick that I definitely recommend
putting on your must-see list.
