saw The Terminator hit the big screen and took many critics by surprise and left many speechless with its select direction. and A Compelling Story used on a small budget of just over six million dollars, which hit the number one spot at the box office and stayed there for two weeks, which is impressive for an R-rated film, and grossed over $78 million. worldwide in 2008.

Terminator was considered. culturally historic and significant by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry the idea for the film came in the form of a nightmare James Cameron had imagined a robot emerging from the flames I wanted to follow that idea James Cameron learned the tricks of the trade from Roger Corman. Jim was a skilled artist who brought his talents and Escape from New York painted the incredible shot for the background location that made next producer Galen listen to instead of a film he was working on and had wanted to collaborate on a future project, this became Terminator.

Many studios were unimpressed and rejected his idea, and luckily, thanks to a contact at Orion Pictures, they read his script and loved it. James Cameron had originally thought that Terminator would be seen. as a normal guy who could blend in with a crowd and wouldn't be blatantly obvious to his victims and had Lance Henriksen in mind, but with a meeting with Arnold Schwarzenegger he had been given the script and Jim apparently thought Arnold wanted to play the role of Carl Reese, the hero of the film, but was surprised that Arnold wanted to be the Terminator, which took Jim Cameron by surprise and he loved the idea when the film was released.

Science fiction author Harlan Ellison stated that he loved the film and was impressed. but he believed that the script was based on an episode of Outer Limits that he had written titled The Soldier and the Demon with the Glass Hand. Oh Ryan gave Alison an undisclosed amount of money and a recognition credit on later prints of the film. James Cameron was angry. and apparently I had no choice but to accept a pleasure finding the episodes on YouTube and the first time I watched them you can't help but notice the similarities and I wasn't surprised when Harlan talked about it.

Terminator was released in mono. sound in theaters due to its low budget when films at the time were mixed in Dolby stereo, the film was remastered for DVD and received a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix and some fans were upset by the changes that became more evident in some of the sound effects of gunshots. Some hardcore fans prefer Manu's original mix and the best version to get is a mastered laserdisc thanks because the mono mix has been omitted from the more recent DVDs and Blu-rays it's a shame fans don't have the option to switch the audio. The only thing that bothered me when I bought the DVD is that MGM removed the text from the original prologue and replaced it with some horrible subtitles from the DVD, totally useless.

The film begins in the future. The year 2029. Machines with artificial intelligence are trying to exterminate what remains. the human race two beings from this era travel back in time to

1984

Los Angeles one is a Terminator a cyborg assassin programmed to kill a woman named Sarah Connor the other is Carl Reese a human resistance fighter sent to protect her he in Terminator arrived naked where they obtain weapons and clothing after the Terminator kills two other Sarah Connors listed in the phone book, eventually tracking his target to a nightclub called tech-noir. Carl, on the other hand, has been watching the server closely and appears and tells Sarah in the Terminator's first attack just in time and the two escape.

Karl explains that in the near future an artificial intelligence defense network called Skynet will become aware of itself and will initiate a nuclear holocaust of humanity. Sarah's unborn son, John, will join the survivors. and lead a resistance movement against Skynet and his machine army with the resistance on the brink of victory. Skynet has sent a terminator back in time to kill Sara before John can be born as a last-ditch effort to prevent the formation of the resistance. The Terminator is an efficient, emotionless killing machine with a powerful metal endoskeleton but an outer layer of living tissue that makes him resemble a human being.

Carl and Sarah are again attacked by the Terminator, leading to a car chase where at one point their cars finally crash. and take down Carl and Sarah caught by the police and Terminator disappears Carl is interrogated by criminal psychologist dr. Silberman, who concludes that he is paranoid and delusional, Sarah is also questioned by Lieutenant Traxler about the events that happened. The Terminator appears bursting through the main entrance after failing to get past the officer on duty. He sends text messages to a police station and kills many police officers. in her attempts to locate Sarah, but Sarah and Carl managed to escape and seek refuge in a motel, Sarah makes the mistake of calling her mother not knowing that the Terminator is there waiting for her to call, so she reveals her location to the Terminator.

Thinking he is talking to our mother Terminator accelerates quickly to finish his mission. The Terminator uses a great combination of in-camera stop-motion miniature puppets for the endoskeleton and the battle-damaged Arnold. Some of the most impressive effects considering its low budget are the sequences set in the future where it shows Kyle fighting the machines the teenage fantasy effects make great use of the miniatures in the foreground mixed with miniatures in the background creating a great scale in visuals makes a movie look like a blockbuster James Cameron Coming from a background of visual effects and production design, he clearly knows what he wants and chose the right people to achieve his vision.

The late Stan Winston was the guy who brought James Cameron's original nightmare to life. He did an amazing job, he really solidified it. for makeup effects monsters in the industry and helped Jim again on his future productions. They tried many different designs but came back to the original image that James Cameron came up with. They were originally going to use more stop-motion, but Stan managed to build it separately. endoskeleton pieces, such as the upper half and legs, to limit the amount of stop-motion and create the greatest sense of realism. The limited stop-motion within the film works and, well, in several areas the stop-motion has a unique look.

You can say it looks very choppy, but it definitely adds a creepy factor to the image. The Terminator theme has become as recognizable as Superman's March or Indiana Jones. The Terminator Theme represents the Terminator's heartbeat with Carl and Sarah's love theme mixed into one composition. by Bradford Al, who unfortunately left the film industry, is an extremely underrated composer. He performed all the music live while watching the film and did not yet have midi equipment to change the drum and synth loops himself during the writing process. Listen to the soundtrack alone. It is a very pleasant experience, obviously there are a number of memorable themes, such as the love theme, the chase in the tunnel and the apparition ended near the end.

One of my favorites is the attack on a police station. 80% of the music is just underscoring and can be a bit repetitive almost due to the limited budget I had in bradford and the time, the film also had a number of pop songs that appear throughout the film which are more obvious is when ginger is listening to some tunes with his huge walkman and when sara enters the technolon nightclub my favorite song is burning in the third grade, pure classic eighties pop rock, a scene in which sarah crouches avoiding the eyes of the Terminator , the melody works very well with the mix of the music changing to amplify the danger he finds himself in.

Also, the beginning of e8e always makes me laugh. If you go to an eighties night, you have to dance like this to match properly. The complete score was released in 1994, but can be difficult to find at a reasonable price. Fortunately, I bought my copy about ten years ago. On eBay for a bargain price, Terminator came to many home computers in the early '90s. The first was on the PC, where you played as the Terminator, collecting weapons, and then driving around a very primitive world chasing Carl and Sarah, too. the game. will give you the option to be Karla and protect yourself from the Terminator.

It's a very strange choice for the programmers to go with a 3D driving game that ultimately looks very flawed, but give them credit they were very ambitious, then came the home console versions. First, on the NES, which was very late in the console's lifespan, the programmers clearly put little effort into this game. Powerful graphics and poor hit detection. They must have managed it during their lunch breaks. Grob Entertainment and Virgin Games attempted to produce their own versions. for Master System Game Gear Mega Drive and then making a CD, the Master System version played very similar to the Mega Drive version.

It was apparently much more difficult on its 16-bit counterpart and fortunately the game was longer than the Mega Drive version, although very playable. It had good graphics and the music was extremely short and could be completed in just under 15 minutes when I was a kid I was very angry that it was so short but that didn't stop me from continuing to play the game frequently now on the mega CD version. was the one I always wanted to play as a kid and didn't get the chance to do it recently. It was clearly the version in which the programmers put the most effort.

It has detailed animation, great level design, fantastic original music and the difficulty curve wasn't too steep, the frustrating part was trying to shoot on the stairs and aim in the right direction when going down the stairs, but it shouldn't be too problematic the more no matter how you play it, the game also had FMV scenes from the movie between levels, but the quality is hilariously bad, I think it's even bad by mega-cd standards, there was also a Super Nintendo version, this game was becoming famous for its difficulty and does not continue very similar to the Mega Drive version, the levels were prolonged over and over again, making the entire experience playing it. a boring one, avoid this version, the mega-cd game is clearly the one to play if you're a fan of the series, what can I say about Terminator that hasn't already been said?

It is one of the best science fiction films in history. made the ideas put forward in the film incredibly fascinating and very relevant today with his theories on artificial intelligence and the advances made in robots and the combination of technology with human anatomy, the story moves forward at a great pace with the expository dialogue executed effectively throughout the film. The chase scenes are also the movie that stops to explain the plot. Michael Biehn is incredibly underrated as it's a huge shame you didn't become a big star. James Cameron, fortunately, used him again in Aliens and the Abyss, but Hollywood did not exploit his talents.

Arnold was already a star thanks to Conan the Barbarian and was the biggest selling point of the film and further boosted his career as a top action star. In all the films he has done, the Terminator role is clearly the most important. people associate with him in Hamilton she plays a very likeable Sarah Connor who seems independent but lost and clearly insecure about her future. In the end, she really shows signs of what she's supposed to be. It's great to see strong female leads in an action movie that at the time. It was rare that James Cameron Aussie loved strong female characters and they are very evident in his films.

The original Terminator is sometimes forgotten when people talk about the Terminator franchise. It is largely Terminator 2 that is most often talked about, probably due to its great success and great technical level. achievements I love movies, it's difficultdecide which one is better. The visual design of the first film is very distinctive and reminds me of a Water Hill film with that smoky look and the cold blue neon lighting in the night scenes. It has these great b- movie ideas and follows them and tells its story in a smart way and oozes confidence and finesse. Linda and Michael show great chemistry and are incredibly sad at the end when he dies when I first saw it as a child, knew something was happening to happen to him and he had already been seriously injured, it's frustrating as an audience member when Sarah calls her mother but doesn't realize that the Terminator is one step ahead and has killed her and is leaving. passing off his voice and skill.

I don't think Karl's. conscious and so she reveals her location, the suspense is great because if she had listened to Karl they might have had a better chance of fighting and Karl might have survived, but in the story of the movies, Karl has to die to save Sarah, the film certainly plays an important role. the horror aspect well with the Terminator being this unstoppable force and the very ballistic makeup work on Arnold during the scenes where he removes his damaged eye and repairs his arm the intense use of contrast with his photography and the attack on a police station captures 80's exploitation horror movie sensation, brought in many elements from other genres and combines them so well that it stands on its own.

I have never found a bad

review

of this movie or anything negative because it is a very polished and well done movie. made, with great care and attention paid to story and direction; It's about the story that makes this movie so much more than just being labeled as a standard Sci-Fi Action Movie and it stood out from the rest during the 80's with Terminator 2. It's an amazing sequel and probably one of the best sequels that were made, but there were maybe one or two scenes that slowed down the pace, but with the first movie. You don't get that feeling that the ground is counted quickly and the action is never far behind.

The Terminator is a true classic film and one that is fondly remembered from the '80s and is on many people's lists of favorite films if you've overlooked it. Please watch it as soon as possible and if you already have it I hope you are excited to see it again look, I did not ask for this honor and I do not want any of that your son gave me a message to give to you you made me memorize it Thank you Sara for your courage to Through the dark years I cannot help you with what you must soon face except to tell you that the future is not set you must be stronger than you imagined you must survive where I will never exist I came last time for you sir I hope so.

Rhys is crazy with technical terminology, he is alone, he doesn't allow you to find him, that's what he expects for you.
