The Terminator

I love "The Terminator." Taking it out of context of the series, and focusing on when it was made and its peers of the time, it seems like it's a typical 80's horror movie. Like Jason and Michael Myers, the Terminator doesn't have a soul. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." So it's cliché, right?

Wrong! Time travel, the savior of the world, Christ undertones, this movie has so much more! There's layer after layer, subtleties, mysteries, and everything you could want in an action film. It's no wonder there was a 2nd, a 3rd, a theme park ride, comic books, a TV show, and now a 4th in the works!
