I really wanted to love this film. I'd read the book, bought the soundtrack, the comic adaptation, the poster and the lobby cards....and yet it was so boring.
From either the Sun or Herald newspaper, Melbourne Australia, April 1985
I regret that I never saw The Terminator at the cinema. I was 19 and much too busy being in love, getting my drivers license and playing in a band. But as always, I still found the time to cut the movie ad out of the paper.
