For my first ever viewing of this "classic", this movie was surprisingly enjoyable!

What I liked: For when the film came out which was in 1984, the special effects were very well made. Especially during the scenes where you see parts of The Terminator's human skin being removed and showcasing his robotic body. I also liked the pacing of the film, there was no filler to be seen, which made the movie effectively focus more on the plot and the characters.

What I didn't enjoy: While this flaw doesn't sound like much, but the plot during the first roughly 30 minutes was rather hard to follow. Luckly, the film's plot did make more sense as the film continued.
