Review Time

Warning: there is flash photography/flashing effects/colorful effects/the taking of a body part/robotic component to this film.

Storyline: is good; it sets down what it needs to set down and the pacing of this project is likewise like it's storyline it knows what it's doing and it sticks to that [I will be discussing these two components in the next section of this review.]

Action/Characters/Performances: now because of the action being chaotic with this fear, death and destruction hunting down Sarah Connor/Hamilton and Reese/Biehn in the form of the Terminator/Schwarzenegger.

The pacing is designed firstly to keep the film moving at a consistent tempo with what is happening on screen at that specific point and move on from there when everything is done from may be a chaotic action sequence which even to this day they still hold great value or the Terminator/Schwarzenegger making sure his current target is dead with not just one shot, but enough to make sure the target is deceased with the atmosphere and background music, it is also designed to create this ominous presence for the Terminator; with this cold mechanical approach to things; from a human perspective [mine] he will not be denied his target and he will do anything to accomplish his mission.

Sarah Connor/Hamilton she has these seeds sown in her character developments by what Reese/Biehn tells her after she asks basically about the future [these are priceless future character developments in this sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991,] but for all the other character developments; they are all good and reliable, the performances are mostly all good, but there is one that stood out and that is the Terminator/Schwarzenegger, over many, many, many years this performer has made this role is very own to the point where I can use these words he is synonymous/legendary in this role and the on-screen chemistry from everyone involved it is good.

Art/Comedy: well the Terminator/Schwarzenegger can be seen as art be it when he has his human covering or a little bit of his robotics are showing or no human covering at all or seeing things from his perspective or this beautiful symbolism at the end of the film as Sarah Connor/Hamilton drives this vehicle down the road when this storm is coming. The symbolism is that the path/road she is taking it's going to be highly dangerous and instead of running away she is choosing to ride/drive into it and take it head-on [I know someone else is here, but I am trying not to give too much of the film away here.] Now the comedy there are very tiny elements of comedy they are here and there; like this child for some reason puts this big scoop of ice cream in Sarah Connor/Hamilton's waitress overalls pocket.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is lots of fun; if you haven't seen it this is one of those films that you need to see at least once in your lifetime.
