This movie is one of the best movie’s I have ever seen. I watched it on channel five having been excited about watching it for at least a week. I have seen the other two and wanted to see the first one. The first thing I noticed when the film opens are the effects, it was great for the time but you cannot compare it too terminator three in effects as they are years apart. As for arnold - he looks different from the follow ups but still strong. The film opens up in the future where robots are shooting, and it explains that the final battle will not be fought in the future but in the present. Although the plot seems to be a little strange it all gets explained - apparently the terminators are losing. Yes man is winning machine but only because of one man - John Connor. So the terminators being the sore losers they are send a machine back in time to kill the mother of john connor before she can give birth to john connor. Arnold kills two Sarah connors untill there is only one left to kill - the right one. Next we find Rece a human sent by the clever John Connor. What Rece does not know is that John Connor is playing a clever trick. The baby will be born because Rece is the father of John connor. If the plot seems hard to understand don’t worry the film explains it all. Anyway the movie is overall a classic a real good film and a good way to spend a Friday night.
The best scene
Spoiler alert the ending is the last scene!
Actually I have two best scenes. The first one is where Arnold goes into the prison where Sarah Connors is. They don’t let him in and he threatens he will be back. He was ... in a car! The car smashes through the building and he walks on and starts shooting everybody it is really cool.
The second best scene is the ending where they think they have defeated Arnold when they got him trapped in the fire - but all they had done was burn his outer layer! He is now just a robot and you can see what he truly is and then there is a chase scene between him and Sarah Connor.
Overall I recommend for any action/arnold/thriller/sci-fi/ fans.
