It's been more than a decade since I last watched this classic sci-fi thriller. Even so, it's almost impossible to imagine Arnie in the hero part and OJ as the titular character as was originally planned. Arnie's near monosyllabic and muscular presence combined with staccato body movements creates an iconic performance. Hamilton also does necessary groundwork to make her astonishing transformation for Terminator 2 believable.
80s hair and occasionally rough looking effects shot aside this has aged surprisingly well. It looks good on blu-ray generally too.
Verdict: Another 80s time-traveller.
