Review of The Terminator (1984) by Jackson L — 22 Jan 2014
The action scenes are really freaking great, and I love it how the Terminator just doesn't die. Unfortunately, the SFX look kind of bad these days, rofl. I mean, they looked great back in the 80s, but the stop motion of the Terminator walking is pretty hard not to laugh at.
It also kind of looks like an early Tool video clip. That's not why I didn't give it 5 stars though, I can still appreciate the effort they put into the movie and that scene too. It's just not "aged too well," if you know what I'm saying, unlike the second film, whose SFX still continue to blow us away!
