One equips himself with autoloader guns & 9mm UZIs; & his onscreen presence leaves no doubt in our mind that he is THE TERMINATOR; & it's not good if he's out to get you. The other's flashback paints us a very bleak dark picture, with gigantic machines trampling human skulls & airborne jets shooting pink laserbeams at the footsoldiers. The ominous background music keeps the audience engaged, knowing the phone-book killer is in hot pursuit of his target. & then there is the night-club shootout; where we see him come back to life; & then the iconic words 'Come with me if you wanna live'.
A metal exoskeleton covered with living tissue, travelling through time in a time-displacement-facility. Cybernetic systems model 101; a cyborg sent from the future to kill you. & the fire singes away his eyebrows making him look even more menacing. Highly intelligent & unpredictable story; I had goose-bumps for most of the chase scenes. It made me question how open I would be to the idea of believing Kyle Reese's wild tales. Linda Hamilton (Sarah) potrays her role superbly. The story takes sci-fi imagination to a new level; & its got great action. The writers took good care to keep the plot intact with all the time-travel loopholes. But with zero CGI effects (purely animatronix and stop-motion graphics) it makes a wonderful viewing.
Fav scenes: The psychiatrist analysis; the car chases; The concept of alternate realities & possible futures; The photo in the end.
Alternate ending: Reese's end was a well-thought scene, making Sarah's grit more palpable. I'd want a introduction to Cyberdyne as a more befitting reference to the oncoming storm.
First viewed: Alone at home on TV in Nerul.
