3.5/4
"seamlessly melds the best narrative mind tricks of science fiction literature with the visceral violence of the best action movies"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/4
"To my mind better than its successor (for pure freshness) this film shows a keen understanding and love of the sci-fi genre."

James O'Ehley
4.5/5
"The film that put James Cameron on the map and made Arnold Schwarzenegger an international star,
The Terminator
is a high-potency distillation of a bunch of sci-fi concepts into one package."
Netflix
James Rocchi
9/10
"...remains the quintessential Schwarzenegger movie...a high-octane, tech-noir adventure."

John J. Puccio
4/5
"A surprisingly vicious little film, filled with indiscriminate, un-PC killings and a rough-edged feel that makes it utterly compelling."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
89/100
"While many feel the sequel is superior, I’d contend that T2 was merely more expensive. If you’re building a sci-fi collection, this one should be on your Top Ten list."
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
"Gritty, clever, breathlessly paced, and dynamic despite the dark shadow of doom cast over the story, this sci-fi thriller remains one of the defining American films of the 1980s."
