![]() Watching bullets ping off of it and its body slowly shedding its organic outsides is effective in slowly building up just how unstoppable and durable this robot is. His indestructable nature makes him more of a tank - plodding along slowly - than an agile, nimble ballerina. We might as well pack up our bags and leave earth right now.įor a soulless robot hell bent on being a buzzkill (insert your own “ex-boy/girlfriend” joke here), the Terminator is fun to watch. ![]() Fortunately, the human resistance had the resources to also send back… letsee… a laser tank? A computer virus capable of hacking into a Terminator’s brain and shutting it down? Judge Dredd? No… all we get is a skinny, twitchy Michael Bein (aka “Always The OTHER Guy In Action Movies”). Machines and humans are fighting a war against each other in the future, and, deciding to cheat, the machines send back a T-800 unit (a cyborg - metal chassis covered by human flesh) to kill the mother of the human resistance. The Terminator is a heartwarming tale of a group of friendly, E.T.-like robots who wanted to explore the human world and learn what it is to love. One of the reasons why is that the premise is overly outrageous, but the movie addresses that by having half the characters treat it seriously, and the other half (the half that represents the unbelieving, you-have-to-win-me-over audience) refuses to accept the impossible, even when staring down its gun barrel. You might not be surprised to be pulled into some of the worst fashion of the ’80s.Įither way, it’s still a pretty good movie. You might be surprised to see that there’s incredibly little blood and gore for such a slaughterhouse flick (thanks to many cutaways and bodies flying about instead of blood). Looking back, it’s almost a quaint action/scifi romp. The Terminator is a good movie that prompted a spectacular sequel ( T2: Judgment Day), and forever immortalized Schwarzenegger along the Harrison Fords and Sylvester Stallones of the movie series world. Whatever made James Cameron put a feisty spin on a tired genre, I’m glad that he did. A villain which said no more than five lines and had no emotions whatsoever. There had been plenty of movies with killer robots, plenty of time travel plots, plenty of men with loud guns running around willy-nilly and driving the buffalo to the brink of extinction.īut what made The Terminator sparkle like the deadly diamond centerpiece in an engagement ring of mortal wounds was that the villain in an action movie turned out to be its true star. Although we think of it as the pioneer of Bad Robots Doing Naughty Things To Good People flicks, it was hardly unique in the genre. Justin’s review: When The Terminator came out, it shouldn’t have been anything surprising. Well, either that or cozy up to them looking for food. Justin’s rating: Caesar will protect me from any approaching Terminators. ![]() Summary Capsule: Robotic bully from the future seeks helpless waitress to smack around Tagline: The thing that won’t die, in the nightmare that won’t end. same goes for the bismarck its the same ship just being sold by another model company.The Scoop: 1984 R, directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton, and Paul Winfield ![]() so basically agora is almost caught up to hachete. the other difference is agora is shipping 10 of the stages at once verses the hachette which is doing it weekly. Waynes building the agora and hachete terminators but they are both one and the same model just that Agoras is shiping it world wide where hachette is only like UK and italy i believe. I've now got a half built model with unopened issues, three binders and all the freebies including the plasma rifle gathering dust and no idea what to do with it! Looking forward to getting my teeth into the Shelby's instead! However, I just got fed up with repeating the same bits over and over and eventually lost interest. I invested in the teeth mods, eye mods and finger joint mods. Then it all got confusing! Not sure what I missed but he started on the Agora version? and I kind of lost the plot with it. I started on the Hachette Terminator build when it came out and was following World Of Wayne putting it together. ![]()
