The Terminator

I remember this being much more confusing as a 10 year old. I’m pretty sure my dad skipped the sex scene too, so that’s probably why I REALLY didn’t understand the plot; however, on a rewatch, everything made sense. Even if my now almost 18 year old brain thinks that the idea of sending your father back in time to impregnate your mother is hilariously ridiculous. Like how and why did James Cameron think of this? The effects are impressive for 1987, but there’s one scene where when Arnold is sitting on his bed in which the fake face is weirdly discolored and off putting. I actually like the clunky stop motion robot at the end as there’s a certain 80’s charm to it. I thought there was going to be more action, but I guess that’s why they made Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
