"The Terminator" (1984): How Sarah Connor learned to hate 'Heavy Metal'. (James Cameron) (Movie, Megaupload)

No real science fiction fan can look at themselves in the mirror and feel good if they haven't watched "The Terminator". I don't care if some of you are young enough to say "but the main villain is a current U.S. governor!" or "hey, this was made by the same guy who directed the Titanic!" or that it simply looks kind of dated by today's standards. Not even if you say "but some of the sequels sucked"! This movie rules in a metal-robot-of-hell-from-the-future-brings-an-early-apocalypse kind of way. Schwarzenegger (try saying that name 5 times fast!) shines in what he is good at: looking big and scary. Sarah Connor is convincingly distressed by the big scary robot hunting her down to kill her so that she doesn't give birth to Jesus....erm...I mean John. This movie plays like a sci-fi AND a horror movie at the same time and will scare the crap out of you on many occasions. It's relentless. It's ridiculously action packed. It has a good premise behind it. It's made by the only guy in Hollywood who knows how to make both good original movies AND even better sequels. It's good enough to scare you and entertain you even today, despite looking somewhat dated. Get ready to meet your doom below!
