The Terminator

This is the first time that I have watched the Terminator. I've seen the second and third instalments, but have been told that the original is by far the superior! The graphics for the machines at the start look very dated now. 'Nice night for a walk! Hey.' 'Hey Buddy, did you just see a real bright light?!' The keyboard sound effect is quite good. The same Sarah Connor actress. Arnie's t shirt looks very 80s! - Terrible day at work! 'Look at it this way, in a 100 years who's gonna care!' The opening segment is quite slow. I do like the futuristic scenes! 'Those,' sort of conversations people would have by text these days! 'I'm sure there's a point to all of this?!' There's some very 80s music in this film! Okay so I don't think much of the first half an hour. - I'm sure that it will improve though! 'Come with me if you want to live!' The first shoot out between Arnie and Reese is fantastic. Arnie's great as a bad guy! Reese has been sent back to protect Sarah Connor. 'I'm not stupid. They can't make things like that yet!' - 'Not yet, but not for forty years!' 'You saying its from the future?!' I like the thudding background noise. There's a very similar ongoing noise in T2. Its a good performance by Reese. I wonder how this film will end?! Great car chase and accompanying music. 'I'll be back!' - The classic saying! The effects are a lot better in T2. Arnie has the robotic movements of a Cyborg down to a tee! 'I'd die for John Connor.' - 'At least now I know how to name him!' There's a lot of flash forwards! That's a great gun!! Romance brewing? Its obviously Arnie doing that voice! 'He'll find us won't he?!' - 'Probably!' 'So much pain.' - 'Pain can be controlled. - You just disconnect it.' - This is a fantastic quote from the movie. Its when Sarah is getting close to John and asks him if there's someone special in his life in the future. What follows is another great car chase, well specifically Arnie is chasing on a motorbike. - Great sound track once again! 'Get out!' Unfortunately the Cybourg graphics are too dated, (post the lorry crash), but don't let this detract from the film. 'In the few hours that we had together. - We loved a lifetime's worth.' There's a nice love story running through the film and Reese is a great anti-hero.
