jofredbekk's rating
When it came out many people saw this film as a bad, low-budget B-move, and laughed at it. These people couldn't have felt very smart afterwords...
The Terminator can be looked on two different ways: either it's a average sci-fi action film about a killer robot that goes on a killing spree, or it may be one of the best and deepest sci-fi movie ever made. I see it as the last one. Sure the action is great and Arnold as the terminator is just bad-ass. But I feel that it contains a message(or warning) that maybe technology moves at a speed that may cause it to harm us in the end. When you think about it, when this movie came out, many of the things in the movie seemed impossible. But now only 30 years later we are closing in on "The Terminator" future. In this age technology are used to make weapons more and more advanced, and we are already using robots on the battlefield(for example the predator drone).
This makes me think, where will it stop (if ever), and will we in the end have made such powerful weapons that it exposes a threat to mankind... something to think about.
I'll be back

I am from the town that this movie was made in, and I have seen and talked to the director and the actors on several occasions.
I can see that it may be hard for folks that aren't from Norway to get the humor of the film, hell even the people who live in the southern Norway have a difficult time getting it all... So with that said, this movie is maybe not for everyone. It's not meant to be just a parody of Tarantino's "Kill Bill" movies, this film uses lots and lots of local humor which to other viewers may seem very lame.
So I can understand why this movie have got a bad rating here, but if we all came from northern Norway this movie would have 10 Stars :)
