The Terminator (1984) Review

[Big honking spoilers below! If you've never seen this movie, go watch it first!]

Kyle: "Come with me if you want to live."

I love science fiction, time travel stories, and strong female characters. And I'm a romantic. So you can imagine how I've always felt about this movie.

The whole freaking story is a paradox. How could John Connor even exist in the first place if John himself had to send his father back in time to rescue and impregnate his mother? And yet, it's the circular time travel elements that I love most. Like the photograph of Sarah that Kyle carried with him in the future. He always wondered what Sarah was thinking when it was taken, and of course, she was thinking of him. I always wondered why James Cameron didn't give us the biggest paradox of all: the name of the factory in that final action sequence, Cyberdyne Systems.

I've never liked Arnold Schwarzenegger. I particularly dislike him in his most recent role as governator. But I will grudgingly admit that he was pretty much perfect casting as a killer cyborg, and this movie launched his career. His best work as an actor was always physical, and this was a very physical role. And his expressionless and memorable delivery of the line, "I'll be back," has become part of our culture.

Anyway, Arnold, smarnold. I've always felt that this was Michael Biehn's movie. Kyle Reese was a tragic, memorable character. A refugee from an unspeakable future, he made a quixotic, heroic journey through time because he fell in love with a photograph, and sacrificed his life after only one night of love. His death was painful; we didn't want him to die, and it hurt when he did. No wonder Sarah threw herself at him. I'd do it.

Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor was also very good, although the sequel was where her character really shone. Sarah started out as an aimless young waitress, helpless and completely out of her depth. She weathered the deaths of her best friend, her mother and her lover, along with the complete rearrangement of her entire universe, and she became exactly what Kyle believed she was in the first place. She was the one who had the strength to kill the Terminator in the end, after all. I've always loved the way Linda Hamilton delivered the line, "You're terminated, fucker."

This movie was James Cameron's first original work, and it was pre-CGI and made on the cheap since Arnold wasn't a big name yet. Nearly all of it holds up, though, because the story and the acting were the center of the movie, not the effects. The stop-motion metal skeleton in the final action sequence looked a bit jerky, but when we saw it in close-up, it looked really scary. (And it even looked like it could be Arnold.) The only scenes that looked fake to me were the ones with the cyborg head. It just doesn't look real, and I can't imagine that it did when the movie first came out, either. I think Cameron should have made do with just the actor, the X-acto knife, and the eyeball plopping into the sink. It would have worked.

This is a fast, exciting, memorable movie. It's also bleak and dark, with a fatalistic, negative view of a future where technology has destroyed our humanity. In the end, Sarah, like a pre-apocalyptic Madonna, is waiting for the world to end in order for her son to play his part. John Connor is the holy child, the twenty-first century Jesus who will come to save us all.

Bits and pieces:

-- The action takes place in May and November, 1984. The future sequences were set in 2029, although they were mostly Kyle's dreams, all of which ended with his death. As the movie did.

-- I've always loved the skilfully filmed scenes in TechNoir ("black technology," exactly what the Terminator was). There were other interesting, negative images of technology throughout the movie, too, like the answering machine that "needed love, too." My favorite was the children staring into a fire burning inside the shell of a television set.

-- The scenes of the future showed wreckage twisted in on itself, like the story. When the metal skeleton of the Terminator rose from the fire (the scariest moment in the movie), the wreckage behind it was twisted in much the same way.

-- The opening scene with Arnold and the three punks was shot at one of my favorite places in Los Angeles, the Griffith Observatory. One of the punks was future star Bill Paxton; another was Brian Thompson, who played multiple monsters on Buffy.

-- Paul Winfield and Lance Henriksen were just marvelous as the two cops, bouncing lines off each other like the pros they are. Henriksen was originally Cameron's choice to play the Terminator, but the concept of the movie changed.

-- We got a very romantic, poignant and sexy love scene. You don't usually get those in sci-fi movies. I've always loved it. Why can't sci-fi movies be romantic?

-- In an early scene, Sarah was wearing a tee shirt with the Jetsons on it.

-- I just have to say that most single women don't put their entire name in the phone book. If this had been done realistically, the Terminator would have had to work his way through every S. Connor in the listings.

-- The music Ginger was listening to when she was killed was "It's a Mistake." One of the songs in TechNoir was, "You've Got Me Burning," which was what happened to the Terminator.

-- Sarah called her mother. What was she thinking? Yes, it was the only way to start the action again, but come on. She called her mother?

Quotes:

Waitress: "Look at it this way. In a hundred years, who's gonna care?"

Traxler: "A one day pattern killer." Vukovich: "I hate the weird ones."

Vukovich: "That coffee's two hours cold." Traxler: "Um hum." Vukovich: "And I put a cigarette out in it."

Kyle: "That terminator is out there. 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."

Silberman: "And this computer thinks it can win by killing the mother of its enemy. Killing him, in effect, before he's even conceived. A sort of retroactive abortion?"

Kyle: "He'll find her. It's what he does. It's all he does." This has always been one of my favorite quotes, especially the last two sentences and the way Biehn said them. Dan and I say it all the time about a lot of things. Mostly about my cat Spike.

Sarah: "So Reese is crazy?" Silberman: "In technical terminology? He's a loon."

Kyle: "I'd die for John Connor." Sarah: "At least now I know what to name him. I don't suppose you know who the father is, so I won't tell him to get lost when I meet him?"

Sarah: "You're talking about things I haven't done yet in the past tense. It's driving me crazy. Are you sure you have the right person?" Kyle: "I'm sure." Sarah: "Come on. Do I look like the mother of the future? Am I tough, organized? I can't even balance my checkbook."

Sarah: "What have we got? Mothballs, corn syrup, ammonia. What's for dinner?"

This movie is classic, excellent science fiction, and I love it. Four out of four paradoxes.

Billie Doux loves good television and spends way too much time writing about it.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) dir. Jonathan Mostow 7.3/10

How many kind of machines will we make?

John gives me Zedd vibes.

What are the odds that John went into that animal hospital and she worked there?

Memorable Quotes: “You are terminated.”

Spoiler: [About Judgement Day not happening, so John Connor grows up and lives off the grid. He has nightmares. A T-X appears naked inside a store and comes out to a woman in a car. It steals her clothes and car. She is able to infiltrate the system to locate her targets. Kate Brewster is shopping with her fiancé, Scott Mason, as she gets a call from her dad Robert, an US Air Force general. He learns of a virus spreading through the machines. A Terminator is sent naked too in the desert as he’s supposed to be protecting Katherine Brewster and John Connor. John breaks into an animal hospital for some medication until he knocks out from it. The Terminator steals clothes from a bar. The T-X kills Jose Barrera, a fast food worker. It then goes to a house to kill Elizabeth and William Anderson. It’s to kill those who work with John in the future. Kate goes to work at the animal hospital for an emergency. She gets put at gunpoint by John as he wakes up. She manages to take his paintball gun away and trap him in a cage. She then tends to a customer’s cat. She comes back to John and says Mike Kripke’s basement and he doesn’t understand. She says she knows him and they went to middle school together until he disappeared. The T-X kills the customer and then licks the blood to identify the person. She licks a bandage on the floor to identify it as John Connor’s. Kate tries escaping in her truck, but the T-X attacks her. She’s saved by the Terminator crashing into the T-X with a truck. The Terminator traps Kate in the truck of her car and goes to John Connor. John confirms that it’s friendly and drives the truck away as the Terminator stays to fight the T-X. The cops come and manage the scene as they try to help the Terminator and the T-X infiltrates cop cars. All the phone lines are down as Kate tries to get help since Skynet is taking over. John learns that Kate is in the back, but continues to drive. The T-X can control machines and sends empty cop cars and trucks to pursue John and Kate. John crashes into a guy and drives away. The Terminator pursues with a cop bike. The Terminator gets to John as they escape the T-X. John tries to have him remember that they used to know each other. The Terminator clarifies that it was a different Terminator. John learns that they only postponed Judgement Day rather than stop it. The Terminator throws away one of his broken fuel cells and it causes a massive explosion. He then robs a gas station store with some snacks while the worker calls the police. John is put in the back of the car with Kate. She talks of how he might be a gang member now and how he’s been trouble. John tries to have the Terminator explain who he is and what’s happening. Detectives talk with Scott about the kidnapping of Kate and he agrees to help. The Terminator takes Kate and John to a mausoleum to find the coffin of Sarah Connor. John talks of not knowing where she was buried after she died from leukemia. The coffin reveals a bunch of weapons and they learn that she was cremated and scattered in the sea. Her will wanted these weapons here. Kate gets a gun and shoots the Terminator. She learns that he’s not human. Cops surround the place and Kate runs to them. She’s tended to by Dr. Silberman and he mentions making things up and needing therapy for years after. The Terminator and John escape and John wants to know why Kate is important since the Terminator wants to save her. The Terminator talks of how she will become his wife and through her, he will contact the rest of the military to form the Resistance. Kate sees Scott and runs to him until he shapeshifts into the T-X. She gets picked up by The Terminator and John and learns that Scott is dead. They fight the T-X as she pursues them, but they get her away as she ruins their car. John consoles Kate. They then learn that the T-X is to kill Robert, because he’s the program director for the Cyber Research Systems, autonomous weapons division aka what Skynet is under. John understands that Robert is the key behind shutting down Skynet. They want to head to Robert to stop

the infiltration of Skynet, but the Terminator’s only mission is to protect them. He says that judgement day will happen before they get in a clear zone if they head to Robert. John aims a gun at himself and the Terminator measures the odds of him actually pulling the trigger. They learn that this Terminator was sent back by Kate, so he only listens to her, so she commands them to go. They move forward and talk about how John dies and that’s why Kate had to sent a Terminator back. They learn that he dies because of a terminator that looks like this Terminator infiltrated through his emotional bond to it from childhood. Robert learns of the country being open to attack because of the virus. John and Kate talk about not being each other’s type and she talks about him being her first kiss in Mike’s basement. Robert is ordered by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to set up Skynet so that it can destroy the virus. Robert doesn’t believe it’ll be okay since Skynet will run things afterwards, but they confirm that Robert runs Skynet. The T-X infiltrates the station and sets up the robots to work. Robert presses the button to start up Skynet and the virus is cleared, but all systems shut down. Robert sees Kate arrive and sees another Kate warn him. The Terminator shoots the T-X mimicking Kate after she hurts Robert. The machines start killing everyone. Robert reveals the access codes to Kate and John and tells them to get to Crystal peak. The Terminator explains what it is and they all believe it to be the system core, so they have to go there to stop it all. They take Robert’s plane after he dies. The Terminator fights their way through. The Terminator ends up getting destroyed by the T-X and she messes with his system. She then goes after John and Kate. They power up a magnetic field and the T-X gets stuck in it, but she manages to get herself out as they escape. The Terminator wakes up and tells them to go without him since his system is going to stop them. John talks to him and convinces him that his mission and reason to exist is to protect him. The Terminator tries to stop his own movements and shuts himself down. John and Kate get to Crystal Peak and use the access codes to get in. The T-X is right on their tail and is stopped by the Terminator crashing into her with a helicopter. He holds up the bunker door for them as they get through. The T-X pursues and the Terminator crushes the door on both of them with the fuel cell exploding. Kate and John get further in and discover that his place isn’t Skynet. It’s a fallout shelter for VIP’s and no one else knows to come here. They realize that there was never a way to stop Skynet. They are able to talk on the radio and contact other important people with him in charge. Judgement Day happens.]
