REVIEW:

A glimpse into the future sheds light over our worst fears, our destruction. The struggle to survive is a story decades old for we have come a long way, but with great potential, our hands hold our greatest defeat. Our craving to create gives way to a path leading to new advances, new technology, but what if our creation decides to create a world without us? How far will our humanity travel across its circuitry wires? What would be left if man became machine, and our hunger to know if this is the future that lies ahead gives birth to movies such as Blade Runner, I Robot, Eagle Eye, and Terminator.

We all take life for granted. Some of us look beyond the stars to chase the dreams burning deep within, but others settle for what they have. We take each day one moment at a time, and we always look back on the life that we lived during the days of childhood and youth. And as we march into the future, we think, we hope that the days ahead won't be so cruel, that there is light at the end of our tunnel, but what if we were wrong?

For one woman, Sarah Connor, the world that she knew shatters within a day. The life that she had pales in comparison to the future ahead. Her destiny has already been written, and fate pulls her into the struggle of humanity on the brink of extinction. And it is up to her to survive what comes next.

We never think the end is coming, and we never realize that we make it happen. But when it stares us right in the face, we only have two choices. We die, or we fight.

And love through our darkest hours, across the boundaries of time will come to our rescue. It will hold our humanity strong. It will fuel our strength to survive. It will light the fires to engulf the darkness ahead. Without love, we are lost forever, but with it, we carry on to fulfill a destiny waiting.

And we can't give up. This world is ours, and we take it for granted. But when it starts to slip from our fingers, we must hold on. We must fight for what we are, who we are, and what we will become. We have been defined by history, and we must fight for our future. But in the world of the Terminator, our future may already be lost, and the war for our survival will be fought in the past starting with Sarah Connor. And this is only the beginning of the chapters of war to come.

The movie Terminator throws us into a world beyond imagination, beyond our own worst fear, and its storyline grips us in its hand as we watch the fight for humanity begin. Our greatest creation has become our worst enemy bent on our annihilation. Our survival rests in the hands of one woman, who will give birth to the one to save us, John Connor. As the days of our future's end unfolds, we are dazzled with brilliant and chilling special effects, glimpses of a world gone dark, and the hope of survival. The music strikes the chords of our soul, and our eyes drink in the passion and strength of two characters brought to life by talented actors. This movie truly defines what we hunger most, which is to know what is waiting for us in the end and will we be able to save ourselves.
