WHSmith Plc: Shopping Online at WHSmith Plc Is So Easy! - TERMINATOR SPECIAL EDITION (DVD) James Cameron's original - some say unsurpassed - sci-fi thriller pits a terrified young woman against a seemingly indestructible killing machine sent from the future. Although the special effects have aged a bit this remains a genuine white-knuckle chiller. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton star. An absolutely cracking action adventure from James Cameron. The Terminator has - give or take the odd disco scene - aged rather well and no wonder the central theme of innocent woman being chased by an unstoppable force is a frightening one and despite some of the dodgy time-travel antics at work (the plot doesn't really stand up to close scrutiny) its the sheer relentless nature of the bad guy which makes the film work so well. Schwarzenegger had made films before this one but it was The Terminator which was really responsible for launching the Austrian Oak on his stratospheric (in the eighties at least) career path. Viewing the film again after years of seeing Arnie as an unstoppable goodie flattening baddies in his path to enforce the American Way it's striking just how effective he was as the baddie (and lets not mention his villainous turn in Batman & Robin for his sake.) In fact during the final scenes where he's replaced by a stop-motion skeleton seemingly escaped from a Ray Harryhausen escapade he's actually missed. Now reclassified with a 15-certificate.
