I remember seeing the origional Terminator years after I had seen it the first time.
It still held up. It was a great idea that was executed extremely well. The other movies, lets face it, are just milking the same idea for more money.
I think if you or anyone has an idea to stick with it. Don't let it get watered down and lose its focus because that is what makes something stick.
The origional Terminator is still a classic just like the origional Alien, the other moies are good, but never as good as the origional.
Judgement day was damn good, but I like the grittiness of the first movie. It added to the mood of doom. It was a viseral feeling that built from the first scene of the movie and ended up being one of the most exciting rides in motion-picture history.
I am sure I'll see the new movie. When it comes out on video.
