Great Sci-Fi with Arnie as the machine / terminator from the future sent back in time to kill the mother of mans only hope Sarah Conner, this movie is way ahead of its time with great effects and great cast. One of the best around. Must see.

This is one of the rare instances when the sequels are better than the original. Far better! I know the special effects technology wasn't as good back then, and it probably had a high wow factor at the time. But, in the end it doesn't cut the mustard for me. Fortunately the director, James Cameron, made amends with Terminator 2.
