Movie Reviews

Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Scott WeinbergWhile many feel the sequel is superior, I'd contend that T2 was merely more expensive. If you're building a sci-fi collection, this one should be on your Top Ten list.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by Mark DinningA tense, slickly executed thriller, which sent a relatively unknown Austrian bodybuilder screaming into the world's spotlight.
Bangitout.com - 10/10 by Jordan HillerThroughout his extraordinary, legend in his own time career, James Cameron has done very little that cannot be legitimately considered well ahead of its time.
Cinema Crazed - 10/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Still one of the most harrowing science fiction films in James Cameron's repertoire...
Radio Times - 10/10 by Alan JonesWittily written with a nice eye for sharp detail, it's hard sci-fi action all the way.
Flavorwire - 10/10 by Jason BaileyMuch of Terminator's greatness is due to its low-budget aesthetic and lo-fi energy; perhaps out of necessity, Cameron's sense of storytelling has a lean efficiency that both he and the series have long since abandoned.
Time Out - 10/10 by Geoff AndrewMore than enough violence to make it a profoundly moral film; and Arnold's a whizz.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonStill a toss-up between The Terminator and Aliens as to which James Cameron picture ranks as his best, this propulsively exciting yarn about a murderous cyborg has long staked its claim as a classic -- science fiction or otherwise -- for the ages.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 10/10 by Tim BraytonI remain perpetually amazed by how magnificently Cameron keeps the tension up... there is not a single moment that isn't operating at 100%.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Max MessierThe ingeniousness of The Terminator is in giving us one of the most memorable and brilliant villains ever printed on celluloid.
