After the release of [The Terminator], it got a lot of reviews that could possibly make a stranger to the movie industry be confused and amazed at the same time. It was mainly because almost every review was positive and the rest were mostly mixed reviews. Nevertheless, there were a few negatives once too, although they didn’t impact much one the ratings.
The movie had created a lot of buzz and the feedback was overwhelming. The positive comments included, how good the storyline was, how talented the actors and actresses were, how close the music and the storyline clicked, and the execution of the script by the director.
Meanwhile, the negative comments explained how the timeline when compared to the story is so dumb. Majority of the negative comments had mentioned how ‘late’ the movie had been released, and had explained that if the movie was released around five to ten years ago, it would have been much better and realistic. Regardless, the majority of the people’s ideas were dead stopped on the fact that the movie had enough marketability to attract an audience—which was a good thing considering how it would help to generate profits.
Yet, altogether the critics, the reviews, good and bad, all in all, it was a part of a marketing plan of the Dream Vision Studio. They had asked MeTubers who were solely focused on Hollywood movies to create and share reviews of [The Terminator].
For a good price and fair deal, majority of the requested MeTubers had accepted the request.
A day after the premier, they were invited to a private screening event at the studio.
Considering how they gave out a lot of exposure in the eyes of Hollywood fans, Dream Vision had specifically asked them to not do only positive reviews. In fact, the company mentioned how they could be truthfully honest while giving out their review in public. It was mainly because the movie creators were confident in what they had created and were aware, if anything, this whole review thing would increase their fame.
The reviews in fact were used just to spread the word; a way of promotion, yet an honest path.
[The Terminator] Review:
→ Angelina Ross
The Terminator is a Sci-Fi/Action Thriller directed by James Cameron and I had the fortune of being invited to the premiere a few days back, on the 13th. Starring June Roberts, and Charlie Wesley, the movie might prove to be the first huge scale success for June Roberts and establish herself as a leading Action Hero.

Plot Summary:
In the distant future, John Connor is destined to lead the war against machines. So a Terminator(Charlie) is sent back in the past to kill John's mother, Sarah Connor(June Roberts) before he's even born. However, a human soldier, Kyle Reese(Sam Angelo) is sent back at the same time to protect Sarah from the Terminator.
Review:
Will Evans has once again come up with an entirely fresh and new concept for this movie, and his direction magic worked. Screenplay is very engaging, and grabs the audience throughout the movie.
Direction was focused on action and horror throughout the entire film and the "no fear, no pity, no pain" nature of killing machine Terminator is discreetly shown. And sequences are put in such a way that the Terminator can be shown from its human-like appearance to fully exposed machine endoskeleton. Overall it's a great visual treat for movie lovers.
Acting:
As the movie focused more on the antagonist, Charlie had a huge pressure to justify the role as he had been previously criticized for his strange expressions, figure and voice. But the qualities, previously considered as flaws, worked wonders for him in the movie. The winning physique, machine-like voice, wide and large torso and a height of 6'2" felt like he—Charlie was made for the role. There couldn't be a better alternative according to me. Again, required unique expressions for an expressionless machine were performed amazingly. June Roberts did justice to her role, and she had a role of getting afraid and running away from her killer. Sam Angelo was very good too as a soldier, but Charlie was the center of attention all the way.
Music and Visuals:
The Music department did a very good job for the BGMs. The chase sequence music especially gives more intensity to the scenes. It's a strength for the movie. During the early 80's, visuals were not that advanced, and stop motion shots were taken in many places. Still considering the time, visuals are pleasing.
Final Notes:
The Terminator was praised worldwide for its fast pace and impressive action sequences. It continues to be an influence in the Sci-Fi genre.
I'll rate the movie 8/10 personally. It's a treat to watch and recommended as a must
Watch.

A kid was walking by the side of the road to get inside his favorite comics from the comic store. Ever since he was little, his parents had made him try various comics and he grew up—being thirteen year old, he wanted to check out every new released comic.
“I loved the movie, darling. Thank you so much for taking me there,” The girl kissed the guy on the cheek.

“[The Terminator] was so good indeed, I mean—the way that…”
While passing a couple on the side of the road who were talking, standing in front of the bookstore, the kid heard what they were talking about. Since he was not that much aware of what they were talking about and more than anything; he was excited to buy the newest comic which should be published by now, he did not give any heed for the conversation, yet continued walking.
“Jeremy, did the new issue of Spiderman arrive?” The kid questioned the bookstore owner.
Since the little guy would come often, every once in a week, they had become so much closer. Sometimes, the kid would even spend hours sitting and reading books or comics until he feels like it was too late and he should head back home. Until then, he would keep reading.
Jeremy, who was a middle aged man with no kids, adored the kid who came often to the store. During the times the kid would spend extra time, Jeremy would even offer snacks for him.
Jeremy nodded, answering the guy and pointed towards the front counter which had all sorts of comics placed in order and the new arrivals to the front. The kid who turned his back to Jeremy, walked towards the counter and took the Spiderman comic which was on the front of the row.
Taking the comic to his hand, one of his habits was to uncover the glory of the front page with his eyes. So he roamed through every bit of the front page, and landed his eyes on the words:
>
He ran back towards the counter and looked the old man in the eyes, “Is this real?!” Excitement was evident in his voice.
Listening to his question, a slight smile appeared on Jeremy’s face. “Yeah it is, it is all over the internet,”

Inside the office, Amanda and Will were discussing the announcement of the [Spiderman] movie and the release of the movie, [The Terminator]. They were discussing the profits they made and the conversation started with how well it has been doing ever since the first screening of the public.
“....I mean, it bombed around fifty six million dollars in the opening week, I’m pretty sure that it will reach between one-hundred and fifty to three hundred million dollars. Even though for now the original budget has not been covered, I think it will break even by next week. And then, the rest is profit,” Amanda said.
Will nodded, agreeing to Amanda’s statement. “Sounds like good news. We will keep on maintaining this record of not letting a movie related to DreamVision tank in the box office, and that is something huge in my opinion,” Will said with a meaningful smile which reached his eyes.
In his mind, he was not one hundred percent happy with the outcome. The original [The Terminator] movie was a classic. The main reason why this movie wouldn’t reach that level is because it’s too late, at least one whole decade late.
In fact, Will was aware how [The Terminator] would become a huge franchise but would never reach the glory of getting the movie into the iconic level and have its effects which the movie had in his previous world. Although he knew he could never expect the same reaction for everything he made— he was aware how his goal was to create movies better than originals or even close.
Although he did not show it in front of Amanda or anyone else, he had expected the movie to reach the level of being iconic, he was disappointed due to that. Yet, he was content knowing it would become a hit which is already one even after it has only been just a week of release.
“Well yeah, it’s fine. We invested just because June and James Cameron anyway,” Will said aloud trying to explain why he should not be disappointed—to himself.
“Yes, it’s explosive, at least online. So, it will be fine,” Amanda mentioned as a matter of fact.
“How about the announcement of [Spiderman]? Was it good?” Will be questioned again.
“Yeah, it’s a hit,”
The announcement became a hit making all the kids who were fans of the Comics of Spiderman, exclaim and show how excited they were. Even in Sparrow, the fact that such a new movie was in its way was trending which made almost every Hollywood fan cry in the need of wanting to watch the movie soon.
The words gave a sweet feeling as honey for the mind of Will.
“They are planning to send Andrew for a talk show to get some visibility,” Amanda said, earning a nod from Will.
“It’s time to get back to the director’s seat,” Will muttered.
