The Terminator 1984

A classic. Ground-breaking. Created the best sci-fi sequel... IMHO.

But it is aging quite badly.

It felt like an extended episode of TJ Hooker for parts of the rewatch. No dialogue, old police cars stunts. And the special effects really are antique now.

The bits that worked, still work exceptionally well. The introduction of the characters. Arnold is still fearsome. The pacing of the story once the killing starts.

The shortcomings due to age can be overseen when viewed in the context of the entire anthology, I suppose.

8/10
