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.

SO GOOD

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

Perfectly-paced & relentless, culminating in a final 10 min. of sheer terror. Slick worldbuilding & visual exposition, all-time great soundtrack, & exciting action. Arnold is an iconic villain. A few imperfect moments, but overall cinematoraphy & editing have a transfixing flow.

Amo esse filme, não tanto quanto o segundo, mas amo o filme

Shall probably have liked it when I would have been born then
