The Terminator

The special effects were groundbreaking, and very cool made (not in all scenes) but the story felt plain. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I liked the bits of effects and cool achievements they made with this movie for SciFi. But I wouldn’t watch it a second time.

Nowhere near as great as the sequel and the story is quite a sludge to get through

You forget the age of the film and the aging effects (groundbreaking at the time) and focus on the film itself. It’s action packed genre defining and entertaining. Loved it growing up and loved it now

10/10

A good start to a series of films that definitely won’t only have ONE good sequel

pretty intense and all but the effects have aged well.
