The Terminator

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 8.0

In a future ruled by machines, a cyborg assassin is sent back to 1984 to hunt a woman whose unborn child is destined to lead the human resistance. A soldier from that future follows, determined to protect her as the two face a relentless threat.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tense sci-fi chases, relentless action, and a dark 1980s atmosphere; Not for you if dated effects or retro styling make older movies hard to enjoy.
