Really I want my money and time back for this piece of garbage movie. The quality of special effects was below the pain threshold, even by 1984 standards. And don't get me started on the acting. Schwarzenegger's robot performance with a total of maybe 10 lines was probably the most convincing acting in the entire movie. The rest of the cast was wooden to the point of amateurish.
And whoever thought of casting Linda Hamilton as the 'beautiful' leading lady, should get their head examined. Not only isn't she particularly pretty, which makes it ridiculous that men would fall for her left and right. But her mannerism, grimacing, constant screaming, weeping, and weak attitude was so provoking I started rooting for the terminator to finish her off in the end. What an absolutely annoying performance of a weak, dumb, and useless female lead. Seriously, how is this movie rated so high.
