Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The machines are coming Comment: T1 is such an important movie, yes the visuals look dated, but how many franchises have lasted this long? The whole man versus machine has inspired and influenced so many artists, musicians, and other filmmakers. The acting in this movie is pretty good, Arnold acts like a robot so I'm sure this role wasn't too difficult for him. Linda Hamilton does the tough lady with brains instead of the usual damsel in distress nonsense. The directing, the story is top notch. T1 is a must see for all action, sci fi fans. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: The Begininator: The Movie that Started it All Comment: This is a classic movie to the point where it has become a serious cliche. However it is well made and finely paced. The soundtrack is seriously '80s but otherwise fine. Most importantly, however, this movie paved the road for the very excellent second movie. The effects are dated, but they work well enough for the movie because they are shot with competence and an eye towards the end result of the movie. Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton work well together and Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast here in a rare (for him at least) villain role. Customer Rating: Summary: The Legacy Begins Comment: While almost 25 years after its release, the Terminator franchise is still going strong. James Cameron's original film is a low-budget thrillfest that truly made Arnold Schwarzenegger a star. The film follows a young carefree women as she learns that she will one day give birth to a resistance leader that will save the world. The downside is that evil robots don't want to see that happen and send a robotic Arnold back in the past to kill her long before she's even pregnant. Lots of bang for the buck with this film as the action and stunts are thrilling and brutal. Go check out the move that started this billion-dollar franchise. I recommend it for adults 18+. Customer Rating: Summary: I love Terminator! Comment: 1080p HDTV with my PS3 playing this movie is so freaking awesome! Looking way better than the VHS and DVD with the standard TV. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for its day! Comment: It was ARNOLD, not much else needs to be said. I think the movie was done and the line 'I'll be Back' is still being done. More Reviews
