The Terminator. 1984.
James Cameron writes and directs this film with his then wife Gale Anne Hurd who also produced this film and they both does that brilliantly. The script with the story provides a perfect action entertainment trough whole film. Brad Fiedel does a wonderful music theme for The Terminator character and action sequences, especially innthe police station shoot out, car chases and does a drama.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is terrifying as the 'killer cyborg' who 'looks like Death rendered in steel. Schwarzenegger moves with inhuman speed bounding like a panther, scanning methodically with dominated blue eyes his surroundings, and in a perfect simulation of voice, he is on the track of his victim... He examines his weapons with precise movements, drives expressionlessly, and kills without pity, or remorse, or fear.
Michael Biehn seems scared by traumas of others wars. His face outlines a long burn scar. He tries to stop Schwarzenegger's attempts to be carried out... He is sinister in his long coat. His whole life has been combat. Linda Hamilton is quiet convincing as the strong innocent prey, targeted for termination, momentarily disoriented, vaguely disturbed. She feels a blind panic boiling up within her, a lightning blot of terror greater than she could ever imagine. A great classic Science-Fiction action movie.
