Next soft reboot, the first part of the trilogy without logic and lots of plotholes (again), unrealistic action sequences, without Skynet (Genysis or Legion, same crap) and Connor existence is changed (again)... dialogs are really bad.

If you don't want to think about plot, don't mind that the T800 is just a super man, not a terminator and you dont expecting chilling atmosphere, go and watch it.

Same mistakes all over again like with Genysis. They should stop it and sell it to someone other than Paramount and Skydance. Never again.

It's a shame that Linda Hamilton actually does a good job in her return to the series. And the action set pieces are decent but there's just so many times you can stomach a reboot. This being the second 1 in as many movies really kills any hype that can possibly come from a future in this franchise. Expand

Ughh... well here we are 2019 and another Terminator movie... when I say 2019 I mean its a very 2019 movie. Forced feminism. Woke to broke. Thats not even the main problem here. Politics aside... Its just a bad movie. As much as I love ArnoldUghh... well here we are 2019 and another Terminator movie... when I say 2019 I mean its a very 2019 movie. Forced feminism. Woke to broke. Thats not even the main problem here. Politics aside... Its just a bad movie. As much as I love Arnold and this franchise T1 & T2 only, I have to give an honest opinion. Leta start off with why it isn’t good. 1. The CGI is overkill and just too much. 2. Character deaths that were unnecessary.. simply put from Tim Miller himself it was for shock value. 3. They tried to Star Wars force awakens this and ended up being the alien 3/ Pacific rimjob 2 of a movie.
4. Everything looks fake. Set designs look fake, too much use of green screens, a netflix style filter over top of everything. It just looks like beauty mode when you take a selfie. It doesn’t look real! 5. T Juan thousand is an awful villian and cant be taken seriously.
6. Regardless of it being rated R fake blood dosnt make a movie good. The original first 2 films were grounded in reality. Practical! 7. They took Terminator into a Fast & Furious over the top action for people with short attention spans. 8. Poor writing, poor script. T-800 loves drapes.
9. They didn’t do anything new with the story, they just tried to copy T2 and force awakened it.
10. Meant for turning your brain off and seeing **** explode. What made T1 and T2 so great is that it was intelligent! It was gritty! It was adult! The action was realistic! The Terminator was relentless! It cant be bargained with! It will not stop! Its basically a scifi/horro! Hollywood can’t seem to get these movies right and now look, Its about to lose 100 million dollars because they wanted to make a fast & furious feminist Terminator movie. Well it failed. Rightly so. 3/10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Steaming pile of **** It gets a three from me solely for some pretty awesome action sequences. Writing is a dumpster fire; characters are shallow; plot holes galore. Essentially, this movie didn't need to be made. It feels like a pretentious, virtue signaling vanity project for Cameron. Creepy agre-regressed Edward Furlong's John Connor is murdered 2 minutes into the film, by a Terminator we never knew about, years after melting all of the cyberdyne evidence. So Judgment Day didn't happen and Skynet never came to be, but a T-800 shows up and Murders John. Ok. All of this makes no difference, however, as humanity has a new hope; a young Mexican girl named Dani. Why is she the hope? Who knows? She is because James Cameron has told you she is. Why does humanity need a savior if Skynet is never created? Because Skynet is created, but it's called Legion and creates terminators that look exactly like the old terminators, in a future that looks exactly like the other future. So essentially, everything that normally happens in a Terminator movie happens here, but the people and names have changed for reasons that are not entirely explained or explanable, for what appears to be political correctness. We're in exactly the same position as before, for unexplainable reasons, solely so Girl-John Connor can be introduced for no reason whatsoever; because it's the same movie regardless.

So you see, this movie didn't need to happen. It is a bad version of T2, with a random female lead that exists solely so the movie can reset with a female lead.

It lacked an interesting plot beyond the usuals (yes, this is, sadly, where we've come to). They basically remade T2 but took away the emotion and physical palpability of the original masterpiece and substituted it with mundane bickering and surprisingly bad and overused CGI (not terrible, just a lot worse than I expected from a movie I would consider to be a high-profile flick). It suffers from the exact same thing as most modern action movies; the action is so intense and so choreographed, that it becomes silly. It lacks physical weight and feel.

Dark Fate is a moped on a racing track.

RIP Terminator franchise.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. He leído muchos comentarios positivos sobre Terminator Dark Fate. Que se nota que James Cameron ha participado y otros tantas alabanzas

A mi me ha parecido una mierda como una catedral. Mas de lo mismo, pero mal, como las anteriores.

La historia tonta, copiando y en cutre, la paradoja temporal de T1. La protagonista cero credibilidad. A mi no me ha convencido en absoluto.

Básicamente es como otra vez Terminator 1, pero en plan copia china.

Lo único que me ha sorprendido es la aparición de Alicia Borrachero y sus 3 minutos de escena. Creo que también aparece otro actor español, pero no recuerdo su nombre.

SPOILER

la forma de matar a John Connor. Por favor, que cutrez. Me dio hasta vergüenza ajena.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For itself a good movie despite some flaws. What destroys the movie is that it is a hard reboot of the franchise. Yes you read it correctly. All previous movies are meaningless in less than 5 minutes even the good first 2 (Rest is spoiler free). Many people have quit watching the movie here and will give a 0/10 and I will not deny that they have a valid point. It was a mayor complaint by some critiques and most fans. Often it is credited as “The Last Jedi” of the Terminator franchise. I would give a 8/10 without it. In hindsight we could have predicted it as there was a certain character missing in the trailers and no one in the shown cast could fill the role. Increasingly there were rumors that it will ignore the divisive former movies and continue the story from Terminator 2 which is technically accurate. It was an insane decision to pull this off and the box office and fan reactions prove it. I must again say that it is a good movie with characters that I enjoy but it is hard to get as much invested as to the other characters we cared for decades. As remark: People always like long established characters more than new once especially when the new characters could not shine before such drastic events. After the reboot inducing events the story starts after a time gap in Mexico City 2020. A new Terminator is send back in time to kill Dani Ramos and a female soldier is send back to stop him. It is the standard formula for the franchise and the story develops as before with a few twists. Again I say I like the story but it has a few logical flaws that I cant go into details because of spoilers. Lets say the first 2 movies of the franchise made clear what would happen as follow up of a certain event that happened here at the beginning (And it did not happen). It lacks the consequences and with that weakens the menace. For the actors I have only praise and I blame the flaws on the script. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns in his signature role and gets some new facets. I really like the development but be warned it confused some fans and became a WTF moment for them. Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor and delivers the best performance in the movie. Mackenzie Davis as Grace comes close to the best performance. Sadly the script weakens her performance but like I said I wont hold it against her. Natalia Reyes as Dani is good and delivers her role. Gabriel Luna as Gabriel / Rev 9 is excellent. Menacing and ruthless as he / his role has to be. A great cast and it is sad that they wont get the credit they deserve as the reboot overshadows everything by far. The visuals and special effects are as always remarkable. It is a thing each movie in the franchise does right. The action sequences are great too and I like how they use Graces special condition to get more out of it;-). Overall this enters the realm of good movies were a single (really stupid) plot choice ruined the experience. After the reboot inducing element you cant enjoy it as fan as you just feel the loss and potentially anger. It is a shame but cant be changed. I don't know how this could be accepted as the backlash would be unavoidable and clearly foreseeable. I think they need an idea checker that stops such wasteful mistakes. Expand

Terminator: Dark Fate is a disappointing Terminator movie, especially since this is the real T3, the sequel to T2: Judgment Day.

This film is what The Force Awakens is for the Star Wars franchise: a lazy derivative movie based on the first beloved films. Dark Fate is almost copying T2 to the letter. Highway chase with a truck, liquid metal Terminator, etc. Nothing new in this movie that we haven't seen already in previous Terminator films. This movie is creatively worse than any other Terminator movie. Even Salvation and Genisys had something new to show.

But what's even worse, this movie is a SJW parody. Full of political correctness, pseudo-diversity, and feminist propaganda. It's like taking Tomb Raider or Charlie's Angels, writing the women out and replacing them with men. Ridiculous.

First they write John Connor's character out and replace him with a female leader that can't inspire nothing. Then Arnie's T-800 is sidelined for the vast majority of the movie (can't believe the stupid backstory they gave to this T-800) in favor of a 6 feet high lady trying to convince the audience she's a badass, and her enhanced abilities are explained by cybernetic augmentations. Yeah, a Resistance hiding underground have the infrastructure to perform cyberpunk surgeries while being rampaged by robots sent by a Skynet that's not named Skynet but acts as Skynet. Yeah, Skynet's also out, but only in name. Now it's called Legion LMAO

The only really good thing in this movie is Linda Hamilton, who really came back as T2's Sarah Connor. Yeah, she's back. Unfortunately Arnie's T-800 doesn't speak this line for the first time ever and it made me cringe.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terminator has been my favorite movie of all times. It has even motivated my career with me obtaining a Masters in Information Systems. Watching the 1st one as a kid, it really intrigued me in ways no other movie did. While the 1st is my favorite, the 2nd still remains the best, I will definitely say that this one will be 3rd on the list. This movie does bring back the Terminator tone unlike the other films. The technology is well thought out and the action is clearly there. However, I must say this. Be warned this movie is scarred by political messages. While the other messages I can live with, what's bothersome is that this movie does deliberately, and unapologetic-ally make it clear that men are not needed in it's near climax of the film. While the audience is at first lead to believe that Dani is the mother of the new savior to be, Grace smashes that idea in another part of the film revealing that is not the case. Nothing wrong with the idea of a female making a difference in the future, the way that is presented was pretty deliberate to harm males watching the film. She clearly states to Dani "You are the future, you don't need a man." The way that she said it made the small audience that showed up to watch the film cringe and even groan. My wife even thought it went too far in this. Let's get something straight, if this was a film created from the ground up, for feminist, I'm cool with it. It's their film. But I don't understand why do these activist go to great extreme to find films that men in the Generation X era found great and convert them into something that it was not in the beginning? I still give it a 7 because Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Gabriel Luna did an outstanding job. I loved the idea of Rev9 and the future he represents. I don't think this movie is going to make it though and will bomb though. My theater was very empty for an opening film and I saw this weekend seating chart is empty. I think if the political stuff was out, more people would have been willing to see it. There being a sequel, it's very hard to say. Having watched this film, you will know how the second movie will likely play out, and it even ends in a lesbian undertone, although the creators of this film have the freedom to expand on this or go the other way. It definitely doesn't end in a way that makes you want to learn more about the technology, or give any special hints as to what Legion is, rather it's simply a Skynet replacement. In my opinion, I feel like Hollywood has money to burn because had they taken this film seriously, they would have focused on the film solely to make it great. The women of this film didn't have to come off anti-men. They should have played their roles, and they would have been great, like Linda Hamilton has been made great in the past Terminators. It does brings a bit of tears in my eye because I did wanted to see a 3 part trilogy and I don't believe it will happen. Expand

I'm a big Terminator fan, loved T1-2, kinda enjoyed T3-4 (let's forget about T5). This movie had great potential, and instead we were delivered with a plot that is a complete nonesense and a slap to the face to fans that have followed the series this whole time. Marketing-feminism/empowerment, robots with feelings, forgettable characters. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE! The only reason I gave it a 3, is because I enjoyed Linda Hamilton's performance (loved to see her again on screen) and the action sequences were pretty decent. But the plot is a disaster... really sad and disappointed. Expand

The "bad" peewee1000 terminator was bland and about as threatening as an earth worm. The story is just a pathetic and far weaker version of T2 even with many of the same seen-it-all-before action scenes. And what they did to John Connor was disgraceful. They took a huge dump on T2 and ruined it's legacy in the name of nothing more than making way for "new" characters. I need to watch T2 again just to get this crap stain of a movie out my mind! Please, for the love of humanity give it a miss. Expand

Same dialogue, different writing. Same Hero, different gender and ethnicity. None of it is new, it's just lazy writing and insult to people's intelligence. Overall an enjoyable action movie with good acting but it fails as a new Terminator film. It is a much better film than Genesys but worse than T3 and Salvation. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A HUGE slap in the face to Terminator and T2. T2 is my favorite movie of all time. Action, storytelling, characters, direction, pacing, special effects are all spot on. I watched T1 and T2 back to back to prepare for the so-called "true sequel" to T2. Here though, were treated to a continuation of T2 that makes absolutely no sense. It's like everything that happened in T2 never happened, or if it did it was just a waste. Killing John Connor in the first 5 minutes of the film... absolutely ridiculous. And the way the Terminator kills him is so casual too.

The first 20 minutes or so is set in Mexico, so it being 2020 (or 2019 if you watched it in the theatre), it has to be politically correct or someone on Twitter will complain about it so we get everything subtitled for us dumb Americans instead of them just speaking English.

There's so many other things I hate about this movie but I'll cover the worst of the worst: -Arnold is a learning machine yes, but they took it too far with him feeling "bad" about murdering John Connor so he helps a woman and her son and basically becomes his stepdad. -Its way too reliant on heavy CGI instead of a good story line. And much of the CGI looks kinda crappy especially for a movie with a $190 million budget. -Hispanic Terminator can run fast, jump high, dodge bullets, make multiple stabbing weapons, separate himself from his endoskeleton, infiltrate data lines and even create a gun out of nowhere. Sorry, but that's just WAY too much. Explosions, guns and fire don't kill him, but somehow the skinny enhanced human fem-dude obliterates him with her...power cell? And the human girl is the one that stabs him in the eye with it??? Cmon. -Arnold doesn't even show up until an hour is left of the movie. -Linda Hamilton has absolutely no chemistry with anyone in the film. From a character I rooted for in the first and second movies, here she's just a foul mouthed vulgar old b**** that I disliked most.

I hate this movie. Since it bombed at the movies I was still hopeful it would be a decent Terminator film before watching it, but it's all just a huge waste of everyone's time. RIP Terminator.

Amazingly useless movie production – can't believe someone signed off this waste of resources which can be easily invested in far more creative products. Brilliant CGI, performances, photography – everything is there but a story.

I could not even imagine how to spoil the film if I put feminist ideas at the head and make the main antagonist a helpless dumb. And the main protagonist who replaced John Connor is so puzzling at all, her character is not spelled out by the screenwriter at all. As a result, the film has 2 normal scenes and all the rest is either self-copying the series again or the complete stupidity of the screenwriter. The Terminator series is dead, and the saddest thing is that Cameron himself buried it, betraying his ideas.

T4 tried to do something a little new but still relied too much on star power and not enough on good characters.

Natalia Reyes character is poorly written and not believable at all. The new baaaaad terminator played by Gabriel Luna is just bland.

This movie does nothing new, it recycles parts from the other Terminator movies and somehow makes it even worse. It have the stardard car chase, the standard helicopter chase and so on. Even if you take away the Terminator lore and see it as a separate action movie, it does not impress much.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank God I decided to watch spoiler reviews of this stupid movie instead of watching the movie in the cinema. I am so glad this atrocity bombed at the box office. I honestly had a bad feeling that John Connor was going to be killed off in the very beginning of Dark Fate according to the leaked rumors before the movie came out, and those rumors actually turned out to be true! Third wave feminism is ruining Hollywood and unnecessarily killing off great, iconic, beloved, straight white male characters (i.e. Luke Skywalker, Iron Man/Tony Stark, John Connor) from our childhoods only to have them stupidly replaced by lame, poorly written female characters (i.e. Rey, Ironheart, Dani Ramos) just to please SJWs! James Cameron is a liar and a **** for saying he was bringing Edward Furlong back as John Connor but ended up just using a young CGI stunt motion actor as teenage John Connor only to have him killed off in the opening scene of this abominable sequel and be sidelined by two random, dull female characters (Dani Ramos and Grace) annoyingly teaming up with Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) all for a stupid woke, feminist, politically correct agenda. I was so stoked to hear him coming back as John Connor only to find out it was a big, fat, cruel lie and watched the atrocious Dark Fate opening scene on YouTube. Edward Furlong should have reprised his role as John Connor but obviously as an adult in Terminator: Dark Fate. Edward Furlong’s John Connor should’ve been a badass adult that uses weapons and is this brave badass, great, cunning, epic, heroic military leader of the worldwide human resistance leading the war against the human-killing machines that the previous canon Terminator films (The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day) greatly and heavily built him up to be and teaming up with his badass mom Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-101s saving humanity by destroying plenty of man-killing Terminators together like one badass trio in Terminator: Dark Fate. THAT’S WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN DARK FATE!!! THAT WOULD HAVE MADE AND BEEN A PERFECT AND LEGITIMATELY SOLID REBOOTED TERMINATOR THREEQUEL!!! The opening scene of Dark Fate is a huge slap on the face and one giant middle finger to all OG Terminator fans! That atrocious scene made T1 and T2 pointless, made Kyle Reese’s sacrifice in T1 meaningless, made the T-101’s mission completion and sacrifice in T2 meaningless, completely ruins the perfect ending of Judgment Day, and completely ruins everything we love about the first two Terminator films. Dark Fate ruined the two beloved, fantastic, timeless classics known as The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Genisys killed the franchise and Dark Fate buried the franchise. Terminator: Dark Fate is a franchise-burying disaster. I can’t believe he was killed off only to have him be replaced by some lame, stupid, short, skinny, random teenage Latina Mexican to please stupid SJWs. Stupidly and disrespectfully killing John Connor off like that in the first five or ten minutes of this rebooted direct sequel was shockingly all James Cameron’s (the creator of the Terminator franchise and the producer, director, and one of the writers of the two fantastic, timeless, beloved cinematic masterpieces The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day which he so fantastically directed, produced, and brilliantly co-wrote, and executive producer of Terminator: Dark Fate) decision. James Cameron is a washed-up, senile old coot and only a shadow of his former self. He is now a grumpy, old geezer who only wants to direct stupid, unnecessary Avatar sequels most people never asked for. Avatar was extremely overrated and boring. Avatar was so boring that I fell asleep through it. He is no longer a visionary, he is just a big idiot and a major screwup. He is now a master of art in ruining things. James Cameron is George Lucas 2.0. Tim Miller (director of Terminator: Dark Fate) is the new Rian Johnson. As much as I love the film Deadpool (which he greatly directed), he was a bad choice to direct Terminator: Dark Fate. He badly directed Dark Fate. He is a wrong director for Terminator movies along with Jonathan Mostow, McG, and Alan Taylor whom all each badly directed a Terminator film. The entire Terminator saga truly forever ended at T2. Everything after Terminator 2: Judgment Day is not canon and only fanfiction. When Terminator: Woke Fate comes out on Blu-Ray and DVD, everyone needs to incinerate every single copy of that garbage!

When Hamilton and Arnie are back together, it helps stir up relations and emotions from two decades ago as their characters clash and help tie up the films. It’s hard not to relish seeing them back together in different ways.

The opening few minutes also present some near-perfect de-aging CGI (the new Hollywood fad) that is used well and really sends chills down your spine. It sets a tone, sadly lost during the course of the film, but reminds you of what has been before and the genius of how using music, slow-motion and effective editing can work to make a Terminator a true nightmare. It’s a real shame it’s over too quickly.

Where does ‘Dark Fate’ leave the franchise? The future is not set. But with a franchise that has tried to re-invent itself nearly four times now but maintain it does have the core story at heart whilst doing it, it’s not a convincing future. The originality has gone, and repeated themes and action are getting stale and no powerhouse of acting or cast can cover up these issues and problems.

Sorry, Terminator franchise is now dead. People change, that’s why Cameron can’t guarantee us a good movie anymore.

My goodness what a poor movie. Can't believe I spent money on this. Poor story, unbelievable acting, poor directing and things that happen in the movie that is simply unbelievable even within the context of the Terminator Universe. Avoid!

Tan destruido la historia original y han puesto ahí a una colombiana que da continuidad a lo que queríamos ver. Definitivamente una decepción.

Basically throws the narrative of every other Terminator movie out of the window and replaces it by dull, forgettable characters and a future world we get two glimpes of and no-one cares about. By both my friend and I had literally forgottenBasically throws the narrative of every other Terminator movie out of the window and replaces it by dull, forgettable characters and a future world we get two glimpes of and no-one cares about. By both my friend and I had literally forgotten the name of the protagonist, she's that boring and unworthy.

Plot makes no sense and gets repetitive very fast. Basically the entire movie is one long chase that repeats itself. Terminator and protagonists get in a fight, a spectacular explosion knocks everyone out and allow the protagonists to get some distance, Terminator reforms, protagonists go from unconscious to fully operational in 5 seconds, Terminator starts chasing again.

The new Terminator model has some new capability and can operate in two different modes, but it is not really shown what the difference/advantages of the two different modes are and the whole thing just seems completely invulnerable anyway. In the end, the way it is defeated makes the whole movie seem utterly pointless.

Okey the Mexico set could work (becuase Connors were hiding here for a time) and there are some good action scenes thats worth 1 point but they ruined it because they went full PC/feminist, never go full PC. Never liked causeless female rolechange. There are some cases where it works well Battlestar Galactica or Terminator:SCC for a closer example. The new terminator design recycled from Genisys. I could even live with the upgraded female protector idea. Even if she is a rip off Marcus Still the worst in the series. It wants to look like T1 and T2 but ends up a cheap copy of them. Expand

It's over, they've ran out of story to tell, and apparently don't have anybody with any imagination on the team. Good acting by Linda Hamilton and Arnold, decent visuals, but the story is pure garbage.

Good acting by Linda Hamilton and Arnold, decent visuals, but the story is pure garbage. Killing off John in the first couple of minutes of the movie was plain idiotic. John Connor is an integral part of the Terminator movies. And, finally, I like movies with a strong female lead. Movies like Wonder Woman.This was not one of them. THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLACE EVERY MALE IN EVERY MOVIE WITH A FEMALE. This is plain idiotic. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie's biggest issue is not a lack of creativity. It's that the creativity is foolish. The second biggest issue is the political garbage. The third issue is its lack of respect for the cannon. They swept away the first two movies, the only great Terminator films, and did their own fan fiction version in their place. The Sarah Connor character was destroyed in this film. They swept Skynet and John Connor away at the very beginning of the film! This is no longer a Terminator film. It's a poor story that they suckered you into watching by calling it Terminator. Just like having a Star Wars movie that didn't include a light saber duel. What's wrong with Hollywood? Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A disrespectful and illogical piece of garbage.
In the first few minutes they first say that (after the events of T2) there was no Judgement Day and therefore no Terminators sent back from the future, and then a Terminator pop up out of nothing and kills JOHN CONNOR.

Are you **** kidding me?

And what for? To replace John Connor with a girl and SKYNET with another AI with another name that does exactly the same things, triggers the same Judgement Day and even uses the same NAMES for its creatures ("Terminators", "Hunter-Killers").

You killed John Connor for this? For not a bit of real change? Go to hell.

Arnold "the househusband" is pathetic and illogical too, why on earth a killing machine that accomplished its mission should care about a family out of nowhere without the long human relationship shown in T2?
For no reason at all.
And he enjoys the company of a DOG!? In the whole franchise, dogs can detect Terminators, for Christ sake.

Again, go to hell.

I hope that this horrible movie just flop hard at the box office and it would be the last film of the franchise.
It will be the last for me, anyway.

"Terminator" is dead.

Uninteresting characters and terrible action. I pray to forget this movie. Would’ve gladly taken a sequel to Terminator Salvation over this mess

Don't see this movie. This movie is insulting to fans of the first 2 Terminator movies from the first 5 minutes.
This whole movie is just a feminist propaganda, replacing John Connor (THE KEY CHARACTER OF THE SAGA) with a Mexican girl.

And also insults and makes the T-800 look like a jester, no longer intimidates and is now a joke in bad taste.
