Hello everyone and welcome to yet another edition of The Road to. This time I'm reviewing all of the Terminator films leading up to the newest film Terminator: Dark Fate. So let's get started.
The Terminator is a 1984 science fiction film. The movie is produced by Hemdale, Pacific Western Productions, and Cinema '84 and distributed by Orion Pictures. The movie was written by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd and directed by James Cameron.
The story is a killer machine known as a Terminator has been sent from 2029 to 1984 Los Angeles to kill a woman by the name of Sarah Connor. What the Terminator doesn't know is a soldier from his timeline named Kyle Reese has come to protect Sarah to insure that her son John Connor is born. Now it's not only a fight for survival but a fight for the future.

- Negatives
I've got nothing to say. Let's move on.
- Mix
Now don't hate me for this but the true gray area of The Terminator is it's special effects. There are times when the film's low budget shows. One of the two instances is the scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger's model head and the other is the stop motion. However despite those scenes we still have more stellar special effects that are showcased.
- Positives
One thing that was done so well in the film was the pacing. The movie never has a scene that overstays it's welcome. All of it was quick and to the point.
Another enjoyable part of The Terminator is Brad Fiedel's score. He's theme simply titled "The Terminator Theme" is and always will be a classic.
The other feature that makes the movie a masterpiece is the action. Those scenes definitely made The Terminator a must see 80's action film. My favorite is the police station scene.
The final thing I'll give The Terminator credit for is the performances. While Schwarzenegger definitely has the best acting overall I feel as though Michael Biehn doesn't get enough credit as he should have. I mean watch that interrogation scene at the moment Kyle snaps and starts screaming. It's an awesome moment of acting.
The Terminator is one of the many classic action movies to be made. The pacing is perfect, the score is well made, the action is a thrill ride, and Schwarzenegger and Biehn's performances are top notch. The real mix bag is while special effects are great for a low budget others are not so great.
My final rating is Great
Okay everybody we are done here. Come back on Thursday, May 16th for my review of the newest animated comic book movie Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
