This edit succeeds quite well in telling the story of "The Terminator" in the most succinct way possible, and is almost seamlessly done, blending the film's two car chase scenes into one. The score is perfect, and the slight murkiness of the video quality actually compliments the score quite well.

Minor narrative quibbles aside-- (to paraphrase the-scribbling-man: "it was slightly odd that Sarah goes from cowering and confused "please don't kill me" to suddenly trying to save Kyle's life") --I was on the edge of my seat throughout, even though I saw "The Terminator" countless times!

I highly recommend!

I loved this one. I was amazed at how deftly Dom dealt the knife to a classic. All the plot you need to know is right at the beginning (and maybe some exposition along the way). Once the action starts, it don't let up. Awesome music, and I'm amazed to learn how many different pieces he used.

Amazing how the very oppressive new music from another movie can change the mood of The Terminator and still perfectly fits as something that could have been used in the 80's.
The music does not highlight every actions of the characters but creates a very dark mood that goes very well with the violence. Pretty interesting exercise in style.

He just won't die!!

This was a great cut of an old classic. This is pretty much all the action from Terminator, in one fell swoop. At times, I needed to remind myself to take a deep breath... it just goes and goes and goes. The music keeps the whole thing on the epic edge.

I didn't even notice any cuts at all - a sure sign of a good edit. Bravo!

I absolutely loved this. Great re-telling of the Terminator with a brand new eerie soundtrack which gives it a completely different tone which is more akin to horror than sci-fi action. Strangely, I was reminded of "Drive". But perhaps that was synesthesia at work.
