Well I've travelled back in time myself, sadly I won't be preventing any machine war any time soon but I'll do my best to review one the most respected films of the nineteen eighties and thankfully there will be zero casualties.
To start with the story for whoever hasn't seen this film, is set in nineteen eighty four where Kyle Rees played by Michael Biehn is sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) who has been scheduled for deletion by the self aware defence program called Skynet from the future to which sends back in time the cyborg T-800 to complete its mission for Sarah Connor is the key that will be the mother of the legendary hero John Connor who supposedly helps stop a war in the future and helps fight back at the machines. The story behind Skynet to why it decides to commit total genocide to its creators as it became self aware, it saw the entire human race a threat and committed an act of nuclear war using their own technology against the human race.
Throughout the film you will see many flashbacks or memory's of Kyle's Rees life in the future which is probably one the best directions in the film because it shows what the world will hold and what Kyle Rees has been through. There are of course lots of memorable scenes in this film especially towards the end where you slowly get to see what the T-800 is looking like and finally at the end where it shows it true skin or *metallic alloy* (Arnold Voice) This was also the begining of Arnold's "I'll be back" quote which I am sure we all love or hate to a point.
Linda Hamilton does a good job as her role from innocent girl with no date to a women who spends most of her time running from Arnold's mass amount of weapons. Michael Biehn does a good job at times but does come across to been a bit flat at times but it isn't the worst acting in the world. Arnold schwarzenegger does a good job at the non emotionless cyborg and most of us will spend our time loving the film because of him anyway so we usually get past the simple acting or Arnold.
If you have seen it before you catch on to little coy jokes throughout the film to the future and machines which I thought was a great add to the film for of course what was happening. Out of all the terminator films this would have to be one of the darkest out of them all, it shows throughout the film many times truly what a terminator is capable off whenever he decides to punch his fist in to a man's heart or removing his eye with a scalpel or taking on thirty police officers in their own station.
Action is done very well in the film which they pretty much have no effects in, also given its date it also has this musky ninety eighties feel to it with its old style cameras used to make film so it really has this classic underground greatness to it. Overall a brilliant film that we all know and most of us love where we will thank James Cameron. Its a film that was able to assimilate one of the most well know sequels to its series where are I'm sure many have argued to which one is better.
