Reese: "Listen...& understand! That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity...or remorse...or fear...& it absolutely will not stop...ever...until you are DEAD!"

Add a CommentSound and Very well done old school sci-fi movie. I would recommend this movie for all to see. Well worth the price of admission to any theater.
A classic for a reason. Delightful film; other than some sexually explicit scenes, this film would be a great family watch for tweens and older. The sequel seemed to wipe out some of the sex to make a film that is essentially that, so kudos to both this film and the first sequel "Judgment Day". Both are excellent sci-fi/action films. I highly recommend them.
why does the terminator blink every time he fires a gun? youd think cameron would tell arnie to keep his gaze fixated and cold. and i also dont appreciate that linda used a body double for the nude sceen.
This thing never old!!!...of course
I'LL BE BACK!!!
This is a very good movie but be careful if little kids are watching. There are a few scenes in this movie that are gorey but other than that,the average male 13 and older will like it and the same with girls.
if you haven't seen this you've been living under a rock.
A great sci-fi/action film. A classic.
