Il s’agit du 6ème Terminator si je ne m’abuse et ça fonctionne encore…! cette machine de film ou plutôt de licence (un brin surexploitée, je crois… quand même !) est décidément increvable et inoxydable… à moins que… ce ne soit tout de même leIl s’agit du 6ème Terminator si je ne m’abuse et ça fonctionne encore…! cette machine de film ou plutôt de licence (un brin surexploitée, je crois… quand même !) est décidément increvable et inoxydable… à moins que… ce ne soit tout de même le chant du cygne !

Mais quel chant très tapageur à tout le moins, très bruyant, encore bien délirant (mais sans doute pas autant que le précédent qui avait battu des records en la matière… oui en matière de délire bien délirant en guise de scénario…) et toujours indéniablement très spectaculaire !

Ce 6ème film est… finalement comme un retour aux sources, car la formule de « Terminator » reste en définitive immuable, intrinsèquement liée à sa nature science-fictionnelle absurde, celle du serpent qui se mord la queue, du retour vers le passé du futur plus ou moins antérieur… et dire qu’ils s’y sont mis à 4 (poour l’histoire !) et 3 pour le scénario ! alors qu’il s’agit, devinez quoi, d’une méchante machine qui revient du futur pour « terminer »… une pauvre fille inconsciente du danger et de son destin… à l’insu de son plein gré etc, etc…

Pour l’occasion en tout cas, Mamie Connor est venue reprendre du service… eh oui, Sarah Connor est une mamie maintenant, qu’on se le dise ! et une bien jolie Mamie ma foi, pas siliconée, pas collagènée, ni botoxée, charcutée ou je ne sais quoi ! et bien entendu, Papy Terminator, je veux dire Pépé Schwarzynator est également de la fête.

Et curieusement, l’impact et l’intérêt de cette « saga » tient autant à ses personnages incarnés par ses comédiens (maintenant d’un autre âge) qu’à son délire SF à la godille. On a ainsi une bonne dose de fan service tout à fait plaisante et souvent drolatique… bien qu’évidemment complètement invraisemblable. La nouvelle venue Mackenzie Davis est excellente dans son rôle de protectrice et une sorte de variante plus athlétique de Summer Glau de la fort sympathique série terminatoresque qui remonte à… pas mal de temps, déjà !

Quoi qu’il en soit, on en prend plien les mirettes et ce Terminator reste fidèle à la série : un régal d’effets spéciaux et d’explosions, de cascades improbables, tout aussi improbables que le scénario lui-même ! et on ne s’en lasse pas.

La réalisation reste de bonne facture malgré quelques hésitations ici et là ou plutôt quelques maladresses de cadrage et/ou montage (attention au cut & zoom ou move, on ne veut pas de ces merdes du cinéma moderne ici !) mais ça reste rare heureusement, mêm si ça gêne sensiblement lors des (brutaux) affrontements au corps-à-corps.

Bon, évidemment , difficile de rester objectif, car à part le Terminator 4, j’adore tous les Terminator de la saga et celui-ci (le dernier sans doute avant un hypothétique « reboot » comme c’est la mode…) est mon préféré avec les numéro 2 et 3. Et 5. Un savant mélange donc, d’action, de drôlerie, de délire et de grand spectacle savamment dosé !… Expand

Coming out of the film I was earnestly shocked at how much I enjoyed this film. I definitely had my issues, I won’t go into spoilers, but overall I had a really fun time.

I was excited for Dark Fate when I heard about it, especially when I saw who was attached to the production. However, I heard nothing but bad things about the film and it disappeared from my radar as quickly as it had arrived.

On a whim,I was excited for Dark Fate when I heard about it, especially when I saw who was attached to the production. However, I heard nothing but bad things about the film and it disappeared from my radar as quickly as it had arrived.

On a whim, following a brief conversation with a friend regarding the series, I decided to go find an upload of Dark Fate to watch. What I got was a solid, almost old-school action flick: car chases, explosions, sustained automatic weapons fire and a plane falling out of the sky, with pretty good CG throughout, and a surprisingly female cast for a film of this nature. In particular I enjoyed Mackenzie Davis' cyborg commando character Grace.

In retrospect, it's hard for me to sift through all the hate this movie got. I am sure some dislike the writing, and that's probably the most valid complaint. I myself don't know what to feel about removing John Connor from the story so abruptly. On the other hand, Genesys, which I also admittedly enjoyed, had written the series into a corner. When making a sixth installment of a franchise or indeed any sequel after 2, I suppose you are going to have to choose between doing the same but more or doing something different. Dark Fate is actually a little bit of both, perhaps by virtue of time travel. It is not necessarily an ending to Sarah Connor's story, but it is the beginning of Dani Ramos's. Or maybe not, given the reviews.

But I also wonder how much hate the movie got because of its cast and locations. The story begins in Mexico. Of the four leads there are three women and one Arnold, and one of those women, the "new John Connor", is Mexican. Given that you can't walk a half a block these days without tripping over a gaggle of reactionary, regressive idiots that bandy around terms like "SJW" and "get woke go broke", it makes one wonder.

I'm sure series "purists" didn't care for the film either, which evidently extends to at least some of the production staff given their decision to ignore every film after T2. I didn't know what to expect from Linda Hamilton, but her vitriolic, tired old warrior character, with her almost audience-surrogate delivery of simple two word, 50% profanity responses to the insane **** happening to the protagonists was pretty great. She could have phoned it in, and to some it might look like she did- but compare her to Sigourney Weaver in Alien: Resurrection and you'll see the difference.

I enjoyed Arnold in this film as well, even if he was kind of a strange artifact in the story. It's possible his character could have been removed without affecting the plot- but then how would Sarah have found all those terminators?

Terminator: Dark Fate is not a film without problems, but I think it's a decent action movie and a decent Terminator as well. I would put it ahead of Genesys and Salvation. Maybe on par with T3.… Expand

Arnie's darkly comic turn is absolutely on character, Linda Hamilton is gritty and authentic, and the criminally talented Mackenzie Davis is absolutely convincing as a conflicted super soldier from the future. The opening scene makes a very clear point about the narrative direction since James Cameron was last involved, and whilst I enjoyed those too it's definitely a cathartic opening.

Being a big time terminator fan, the first two are gospel. I have to say I'm still a bit disappointed with the progression and twists in the story but the action scenes are mostly spectacular but a little too reliant on cgi that begins to look cartoonish at times. Also the movie gets a little to repetitive in spots. I mean how many times to we need to see the villain come back together. That being said the three female leads are powerhouses. Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor is a damaged soul fighting for a reason to be relevant, Mackenzie Davis is unbelievably bad ass and Natalie Rayes as Dani is spunky and fierce. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also welcome and inspired in a smaller but pivotal role that fleshes out all of their stories. All in all it's a fun, wild but unnecessary ride that satisfyingly ends the franchise for the most part. It's not really anything you haven't seen but its fun and I do really appreciate that director Tim Miller of Deadpool brings back some much needed grit to the series missing since the first. Sexy Gabriel Luna's Rev 9 is an unstoppable, nightmarish killing machine.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't a fan of the feminist idea, but I still liked Grace and the return of the real Sarah Connor, not Emilia Clarke but Linda Hamilton.

The story did play it safe, but for a finale, I thought it was mostly fine, especially when compared to Genisys. I wish it did do some things differently, but I enjoyed it overall.

I am mixed about John Connor's early death. It's sad to see this character get killed and the replacement character is Dani, who I didn't care about too much. But on the other hand, this series did start with Sarah, and I thought it made sense to end it with her. Though John still could've lived as well, or at least until the end. Plus, Sarah was killed off in Terminator 3, so I'm glad she got to be the main protagonist again.
Overall, I like this film. It has its shortcomings, but I enjoy it. 7.5/10.… Expand

T:DF is as much of an entertaining ride as any other action flick from the last 20 years.

Personally, I'm a little tired of the "liquid metal" Terminator thing and wish they would just make it go away.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To begin with T2 is undoubtedly the best Terminator movie followed by T1. T3 was something we all wish never happened and Salvation and Genisys were pretty good because of the twist they had. Dark Fate has been getting so much hate because they killed John Connor, the acting was allegedly bad etc. First of all, the acting was great throughout the movie (with a few exceptions). The killing of John is something I didn't expect but it gives a new meaning and perhaps future to the franchise. I can see why many fans did not like it, but to me it was fine. The CGI was great with minor flaws (especially the jumping parts of the terminator). The action did not disappoint either. To me this should have been T3 and I sincerely hope there will be a next terminator, perhaps with more parts showing the -current- future.… Expand

I see how many zeros are given by a fake users with only one review just for the sake of lowering the movie's score, so I'll be different and write something what I really think about the movie.
First of all this movie is made for a singleI see how many zeros are given by a fake users with only one review just for the sake of lowering the movie's score, so I'll be different and write something what I really think about the movie.
First of all this movie is made for a single viewers category which I believe i belong to: those who actually have seen Terminator 1 and 2 as a kid. And for everybody older than that. Because kids and those in their twenties just won't understand the magic of VHS era. And what it means to have something from that era be finally treated with respect, which Tim Miller and James Cameron did. Star wars fans from the same age category I feel you, you didn't even get that.
Secondly, behind the thin veil of typical blockbuster I've noticed something that makes this movie entirely different from its kind. It's not a blockbuster, but a farawell movie. Which I believe won't get another sequel for the first time in decades. At least I hope that Cameron won't do that. Please, Mr Cameron shoot a whole bunch of Avatar movies and don't touch the Termonator again. Let it rest.
Thirdly, it still a movie that is a couple of parellel universes better than every other movie between it and Judgement day. Technically it has really good action, the return to the chase formula was the best idea. Plot-wise is also good, it has a good balance of dialogues, exposition and character interactions. Finally, after all that technobabble meant to explain all the timetravel, this movie doesn't explain ANYTHING. We don't even know why Carl knows so much! And this is good.
All in all Dark fates is a proper way to find a good ending for a franchise that didn't need to have any sequels after Judgement day.
I'll give this movie an 8 because it's a good movie.… Expand

People say there is nothing but SJW feels all during the movie, but that isn't the case. Sure there is a splash of it here and there, and making Grace overpowered may feel like a Mary Sue move, but her character is actually well done. Only real problem with her is how she comes off with some lines. She's overconfident in doing menial tasks, but when it comes down to fighting she's actually pretty bad ass.

Dani is the main focus, and while her whole acceptance of what is going on and her changing into what she needs to become feels rushed, watch the movie and you will see all of her motivation for doing so. Not the best protagonist, but not bad. Linda Hamilton is mainly the reason to see this movie. Sarah is still as bad ass as ever, and she has all of the experience behind it so she can be blunt and in your face. Arnold does yet another great job with the T-800. They don't cram in funny dialog or moments to make people laugh. He is still the cold blooded, tactical death machine that we all know. Plus given the fact that he has his neural net processor, you see some interesting twists in his arc as well. The new badguy Terminator, the REV-9 is probably one of my favorites. Take everything you can from the T-800 and the T-1000, blend them together, and make him calculating and menacing.

All in all, this was a great one to watch. It has Cameron's fingerprint all over the feel of the movie and its a fitting end to the story arc from The Terminator and T2. Say what you will about 3, Salvation and Genisys. Those were ultimately forgettable rehashed stories and **** we had seen before. This feels like the actual continuation of the whole franchise. Ignore all of the BS people are saying and give it a watch. It's not nearly as bad as people say. T1 was a 9, T2 a 10 for obvious reasons, and this one gets an 8 in my book. Great action, brisk pacing, and well written characters that fit the roles.… Expand

I found the characters very good. Grace is really badass and plays her role pleasantly authentic, without much cringe. Arnie and Linda also surprised me. Arnies deadpan humor is adorable. Both were set in scene in an appropriate way. I guess producers could have made many things worse. I also found it cool to locate the first half of the story in Mexico - the chase thru mexico, featured like a roadmovie. I liked that.
I guess the story (in principles of the whole franchise) is the only real downside. The overall topic is always the same, somebody arrives from the future to prevent the judgment day (in the broadest sense). Now producers have to carefully make up their minds on how to proceed with the franchise.

Bottom line: The topic of the Terminator franchise (incl Dark Fate) unfortunately comes without intriguing elements. It is solely due to the theatrical performance and the well-drawn characters that I can still recommend the film!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's preface my review with some context: My first glimpse of the Terminator universe was Arnold Swarzenegger on David Letterman on Jun 7, 1991. I was five years old, laying on the livingroom floor playing with a toy firetruck.

Weird foreign dude, blah blah blah, cut to the trailer, which was the bike bar scene with the cigar. It blew my mind. I wasn't sure what was going on, but it was badass.

Never saw the movie until many years later, I think. I knew what it was, I knew it was a big deal, but never saw it in its entirety, for sure, when I was in high school. It is an amazing film - without a doubt one of the biggest and most impactful films of its time, and of all time.

I grew up on Rambo and Die Hard. Die Hard is my favorite film. It's just well done, and was from the end of the pre-cgi era of film making.

Cut to the point, before this movie, there were only two true terminator films. The original, and T2. I've tried to watch 3, 4, whatever and never got through an entire one. I saw Genisys in the theater and was so frustrated. Jai Courtney is franchise poision - he killed Die Hard as well. Genisys is not a Terminator movie.

When I had heard about Dark Fate, I knew that it was about to change, and they were going to right the various wrongs that had happened to the Terminator franchise over the years. With Linda Hamilton back, it was guaranteed to be good.

That being said, the movie wasn't spectacular. There were holes in the plot, the new rev 8 Terminator guy was kind of DOA character-wise, although after reading about him and his involvement in the production, I have respect for him. You just can't outdo Robert Patrick - that was a performance for the ages. Mackenzie Davis was great, but I am an existing fan of her other work like HCF. Linda Hamilton goes without saying, was great, although she set the bar quite high with T2...

All in all, yes, it could have been a better movie. I do consider it the first legitimate Terminator product after T2, and I accept the plot and the trajectory it puts the characters on. I will be buying this on Bluray or something when the director's cut comes out, and I would not hesitate to go see a follow-up movie. Wasn't planning that for Genisys, and I rejoiced when it was cancelled.

If only James Cameron had done this instead of Avatar, 15 years ago...… Expand

After the massive failure of a film that was genesis, I was half expecting this toTerminator dark fate is being hailed by some as a return to form for the franchise, and by others another dull, cash grab sequel, but for me it’s neither. After the massive failure of a film that was genesis, I was half expecting this to absolutely suck and half expecting it to be amazing, and when I actually went out to watch it i wasn’t disappointed. Sure it’s not nearly as great as the original 2 films but dark fate is a thrilling and immensely enjoyable action flick and is still worth the watch. The movie introduces two important new characters; Dani and Grace, and although they are both perfectly acted I found it kind of hard to connect with them. I suppose grace was easier to root for because we were given flashbacks/forwards to her future which gave us some backstory, but overall I felt they struggled to feel unique unlike characters like Kyle Reece. Linda Hamilton makes a return as the much loved Sarah Connor, but having been out of the game for so long falls flat and forces the majority of her lines. Arnie is also back, but this time manages to keep his head above water with a performance that, for Arnie, is above standard. There are some interesting concepts in this film, such as Arnie being a remnant of a future that never happened, and the future that did happen being far worse. Unfortunately the new threat ‘legion’ feels contrived, as does the movies villain who just feels like a one up from the one from T2. He suffers from the darth maul effect, after already having a red, blue and green lightsaber they make a double edged one, and then one with a lightsaber hand guard (Kylo ren) so one so fourth. The biggest highlight of this film, doesn’t come From the acting or the story but rather the beautifully choreographed action sequences and top notch CGI. The movie is visually stunning and never has any problems with bad special effects. This one quality, is the one thing that really stops this entry to an overdone franchise from living in the shadow of its predecessors. Dark fate although at times feeling like a bit of a cash grab, is an immensely enjoyable action film with impressive effects and memorable acting and therefore it gets a 7/10 from me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is hands down the best Terminator movie since T2, it has tonnes of story at the front end to make you care about what happens when stuff begins to blow up.
I do feel that the omission of Edward furlong reprising his iconic role greatly skewed the story in a direction loyal fans of the first two Terminator movies felt was too big of a mistake to validate this movie as a viable follow up to T2. For what it is, I think it's very well made movie, it definitely copies the formula that the original movie and T2 had, especially on how the story continues to be told even when the sh#t hits the fan. I need to watch this movie again and give it a more unbiased (not less bias) viewing, because I do believe hype can affect how we perceive a movie, especially on the first viewing. The veteran actors are on top of their game and the ’new to the franchise’ younger actors, I feel are surprisingly excellent, especially for an action movie of this scope. Omitting Edward Furlong, that is just sacrilege.… Expand

Before I ever got a chance to see them I was like "They not gonna be as good as the first and the second." and you know what? I am right. I got a perfect feeling they're not impeccable as the first two. And now that I heard of the 6th film they're going to be making, Terminator: Dark Fate, I know exactly that this is not going to be as good and impeccable as the first two even though that Tim Miller who directed Deadpool and James Cameron will be attached to it as the producer since he directed The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day a few years back. Fans of this got really excited to see this and it was announced that Linda Hamilton will be returning in her role of Sarah Connor and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his role as a T-800 "Terminator", reuniting the actors after 28 years. This is actually a direct sequel to The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day ignoring three sequels that have nothing to do with the continuity that T2 has had for us back in the day. Before I get a chance to go see it at cinemas I just need to address something first. I've just seen The Graham Norton Show and I've seen Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton along with Debbie Harry and Nadiya Hussain and I actually enjoyed it. Now lets get to something that the fans including myself in general are going to be p***ed off already. It is a box office bomb and by thinking of that, people have already predicted that this is going to be a bomb like what are they're going to make of it and what I thought of it, I actually liked it. I know it's not as fantastic as the first two films which I already assume that the other sequels are not as brilliant and I did actually watched this right after Terminator Genisys which apparently for most fans think it's a complete arse wash but for Dark Fate it's not a bad film. I was surprised that I didn't see any kids in the cinema but this movie is made for adults. The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. In my eyes I can never get bored of them. I love Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner, she's always great in those. Now as it is, for me trying to do the other Terminator sequels, "I'll be back."… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 8
Acting: 9
Plot: 7

Due to the critical failure and box office bomb of 2015's Terminator Genisys, the Terminator franchise rebooted once again with Terminator: Dark Fate, which is a direct sequel to 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day while 2003's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and 2009's Terminator Salvation including Terminator Genisys have been deemed as non-canon.

Three years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, something terrible has happened which would change the future forever. Fast forward to twenty-two years later, a new and advanced Terminator called Rev-9 (Luna) was sent back in time from the future to Mexico City to kill Daniella "Dani" Ramos (Reyes) while a cybernetically-enhanced soldier, Grace (Davis), was sent back to protect her.

While Grace and Rev-9 are fighting in a highway, Sarah Connor shows up and temporarily disable Rev-9. The three of them regroup at a motel where Sarah learns from Grace that Skynet does not exist in her future and Rev-9 was sent by Legion, an A.I. similar to Skynet, to kill Dani, who is an important figure in her future. Sarah also received many encrypted messages prior to her involvement with the two of them which Grace trace its location to Laredo, Texas. Once they arrive, Sarah is shock to meet the person who sent her those messages is none other than the T-800 who has done something terrible to her in the past.

Terminator: Dark Fate is really a good movie and it is better than Terminator Genisys. The movie has a very good action sequences and well executed. All of the cast gave their best performance. Gabriel Luna really nailed his performance as Rev-9 and I can see that he can really portray a villain character. Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger have done a great job too. Both of them haven't lost their touch with their respective iconic roles as Sarah Connor and the T-800. It was also great to see them reprising their roles. The movie would have lost its touch if it weren't for those two. The CGIs in this movie are really great and a huge improvement from the last three movies.

While the movie is going into a different direction, I have also noticed that the plot of the movie is a copy-and-paste from the first two movie: A terminator is sent back to the past by an A.I. to kill an important figure while a human protector is sent back by the resistance to protect that figure. While it does introduced some new characters and things like Legion being the A.I. instead of Skynet but the way the filmmakers executed is basically a recycled plot points. I felt the plot could have done in a different way instead of using the pre-existing ones.

I got to give credits to filmmakers for taking a one big risk on the opening scene. In my first sentence of the first paragraph, I mentioned something terrible has happened. It is really a huge spoiler which I suspected that some of you already know what it is but I won't spoil it here. The opening scene is kind of a controversial which is why I give credits to filmmakers for this daring risk.

Because of this, some of you may debate that Terminator: Dark Fate is a better third movie than Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines or it could be the other way around. Personally, I love both of these movies even Terminator Salvation except Terminator Genisys. If you are a fan of Terminator franchise, you should not miss this instalment.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
-Great Action.
-Great performances, especially from Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
-The characters themselves are all fairly well written and enjoyable.
-Solid Score.
-Good pacing.
-Killing off John Connor was a pretty ballsy move, but one that I feel really helps drive home that this is a different future than the one he and his mother prevented in Terminator 2, and I honestly like that. Cons:
-They don’t explain at all how the Rev-9 is able to split into two. It’s not a big deal overall, but it would have been nice if they explained it.
-The film plays it fairly safe with the story, feeling fairly similar to the first 2 Terminators at a number of points. Final Verdict: This a movie where I feel the hate it is getting is 100% unjustified. Is it perfect? No. Is it as good at the first 2 Terminator films? No. But is it worse than 3, Salvation, or Genisys? Hell no! This is still a really good movie that I believe is well worth checking out if you are interested. Just don’t go into it expecting it to be quite as good as the first 2 movies.… Expand

I think again we have the Alita Battle Angel pattern here: Another veryWow. If you love filmmaking which expands the History of Imagination in narrative literature, this is a movie for you. Why so many lukewarm and cool reviews? I think again we have the Alita Battle Angel pattern here: Another very professional, 100% effort in sci-fi-fantasy, WHICH HAS A GOOD, NOT JUST COMPETENT SCRIPT which under-performs at the box office,

The pattern I see? Scripts and directing become too progressive for today's young male ticket buyers; and, fan many professional critics who are in their 20s-30s.

To criticize Dark Fate's script as incompetent, I do not think holds up to scrutiny. I've written 30 non-fiction books, scripts for 60 live events and one 3-hour film script. So there's a fair chance I'm in a good position to evaluate if a filmed script is competent or not. Like Alita, Dark Fate's script is competent and then some. Perfect? No.

This leaves us with explaining why audiences and critics accuse these scripts of missing their mark. I see a pattern emerging. Alita, Dark Phoenix (X-men) and Dark Fate are perhaps all too female-centric, too much about connection and relationships, for young male ticket buyers and younger critics who are not authors.

If this is true, this leaves us with the question why Wonder Woman (2017) which is is all these things--was successful.

This is where we can point out neither Terminator nor Alita are conventional heroes, young Western males are likely to respond to. Wonder Women is close enuf to male ticket buyers hero fantasies. As well as, Batman has a supporting role. Other really excellent fantasy sci-fi movies which under-performed at the box office, which may fit this pattern:

- The second Fantastic Beasts film (2018)
- The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) (2016)
- The Golden Compass (2007)
- Narnia films?
- Ponyo (also known as Ponyo on the Cliff) (2008) (almost unique portrayals of the Divine Feminine on film. Look for it at your library)… Expand

Because he is pretending to be old, therefore he is wearing different synthetic skin. The new Terminator just keeps on coming and coming it's a never ending thrill ride with an overpowered future jerk putting the gang's back up against the wall literally from start to finish. The characters all had their own stories that intersect in just the right ways to make them come together as a team. Wokeness? Get over yourself.

The action takes off within the first five minutes and doesn't stop until the end. The story line was fair and acting was good although I found it interesting that every time Arnold made a joke, no one in the theater laughed.

I didn't feel that I wasted my money but I do hope that they DO NOT make any more Terminator movies. As with other franchises (Halloween, Freddy movies, yes even Star Wars) movie makers should only be allowed to make a certain number (no more than 3 IMHO). Anymore than that, I would recommend that movie-goers boycott the movie as a statement to make movies with different content.

If you got some time and extra money, I would go see it.… Expand

I bummed myself with negative reviews, lowered my expectations and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Action movies today are no longer intimate development of cinematic experience.

Action movies today are no longer intimate development of cinematic experience. The action is grand, fast and in huge numbers. Arnold no longer is the focus of the movies, and it's fine here.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely not the first two Terminators, but this is the best third-installment of the franchise. Say what you want about the movie killing off John Connor at the beginning, but John has been the center of the franchise for the past 30 years. It's nice to see someone else take the spotlight, even if the same idea is recycled. I want people to know that while it's okay to not like a movie, you can at least go see it before you tear it to pieces. Onto the important part: what I thought of it all. Arnold gave his best performance since Judgement Day, with the idea that he learns to regret what he was programmed to do. Linda Hamilton was awesome and Davis, Reyes, and Luna all had a great impression on the franchise. The action was nice high-octane fun, given the villain was a formidable foe. The story, while not the best, and still has the formula from the previous films, it does the best to give new energy and twists that make it different. There feels like there is emotional weight for all the characters and it makes them more relatable. I would see it, before you hate on this film like The Last Jedi.… Expand

by far the best terminator sequel since t2. the right wing bashing of it on political grounds makes no sense as its not political at all. great script, all the actors are great, wonderful pacing. destined for cult classic status

Simply exellent ... action and story were top notch. Linda Hamilton was the star of it abd the new terminator was the most lethal and scary yet in the franchise.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm probably going to be the only one to be okay with the opening scene, since the fate of that character won't live up as well as in T2, and just go downhill from there.

Ok, hear me out on this. This does follow the same route the franchise has followed ever since (someone protects somebody) and it does throw out every conceivable (or terrible) thing you can think of in a Terminator movie annoyingly, but besides that, what Terminator Dark Fate does to make sure it's not a hollow and soulless copy paste of *insert title here* manages to make this a rather unique entry in the franchise. How? By simply shredding out pages from the failed sequels and try to flesh these ideas in the best way possible, whether it's a buddy-cop type relation between Grace and Sarah, or a Villain who can double his body from an already built Terminator. The sweat and tears of the studio are to be seen and heard in here, as they (and the all star cast of names they paid as much as a Pixar movie's budget) tried to come up with the best possible product they could've done, good or bad.

If anything, it's probably the best piece of feminism movement I've ever seen than whatever Disney's trying to force now, because the 3 leads in this rule so much. We get to see the return of Sarah Connor and, even after 35 Years, she still looks the same to me, if not for a few new tweaks here and there. Mackenzie Davis' character, Grace, is fine. She's just "female enhanced Kyle Reese" and that's it (still,cool idea to have the enhanced human thing at play,especially after Salvation ruined everything from the trailers apparently), especially because at the heart of all the mumbo jumbo, is Natalia Reyes, who has no right being as good as it is. Better "I won't hide in a corner, I'll fight!" Line delivery than Transformers 5 (another Paramount movie), and I can definitely see someone seeing her as a figure of inspiration. It sounds like I'm talking like I'm some kind of Executive with the big glasses on, but that's really what it is. A big Female Action extravaganza with Action Mumbo Jumbo that'll make you smile even in the darkest of times.

Surprisingly, they also continue the emotional beats from T2 with Arnie's T-800, even if it's a different T-800. I guess someone will roll their eyes when they'll find out he's in it for a short amount of time, but it passed out to me flawlessly, even in a sad way. This one won't stop the Nostalgia Factor from letting it all out. Yes, even in a big-ass 3rd Act that is so over-the-top and noisy, I kinda felt fearful for the main cast of characters. Gabriel Luna's Rev-9 is, alongside Robert Patrick's T-1000, the most evil **** you'll ever witness in a Terminator movie. Basically they shredded the T-X concept from T3 and made it all the more creepy.

If there's any flaws to point is that, again, it repeats a story structure we've all seen before, so that may tire some people...most people up (and it is,so no issues there), and the R-Rating is either misguided or overused. Not saying it should've been PG-13 ('cause we all know how that turned out), but I almost couldn't have stood a **** or **** every 3 seconds, or the fact that a bloody or gruesome kill wasn't done as great as the previous ones. And, as good as this is, it still feels as if the franchise wants to get self-terminated.

Although if they're going to be this great (with a big cast of talents who give a damn about the movie instead of hiring the guy from Thor 2 and doing a mess), I hope they won't get terminated. We'll see at the Box Office... Paramount opened Pandora's Box, and it'll be up to them to see if these characters are really back, or they're just back to have another Judgement Day….with the Audience. Oh,and see it in IMAX,obviously.… Expand

The first terminator movie in a while that I've not had to force myself to sit through! The story moves at a brisk pace, and the plot is solid if a little predictable. I'd recommend giving it a watch.

(I think I am unusual in that I actually prefer the original slightly to T2.) To me, this is the sequel I have always been waiting for. I see a lot of people suggesting it is too derivative of the original files. I actually felt that it found a perfect balance of homage to the original greats with new angles and perspectives. It all fit naturally to me. Also, I loved the performances. Can't say enough about how wonderful Hamilton and Schwarzenegger were in their roles. I walked out finally feeling satisfied to have see a sequel worthy of the first two movies. I was sad to see the poor box office and the number of people hating on it. I honestly don't get it. I hope more people give it a chance and see how much fun they have.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having gone into this movie expecting a "woke" narrative, my brother and I spent the first 20 minutes sighing, cringing and predicting the worst. Then I turned to him and said, "No, let's try and enjoy the movie." ... ... ... we loved it!

Actually, watching Terminator 6 really highlights the damage Star Wars, Captain Marvel and movies like them have done to the movement of female heroes. We expect them all to be bad because franchises have been destroyed by "wokeness"; writers and producers have time and again been unable to put their vane politics down to write a good story.

Terminator 6 IS a good story, and its three leads are compelling, intriguing characters who have genuine conflict with each other. Their dialogue, while at times might be conceived as anti-male, is probably quite accurate to the way women would speak to each other given the circumstances. Furthermore, the Rev9, while perhaps not as menacing as the T1000 or T-X, still makes for an enjoyable villain. And I do like the way Sarah Conner is introduced into the story.

There is a point in the middle that could have easily gone "woke" about Trump's wall or immigration. Instead, the movie uses a detention centre as an incredibly effective and tense setting for another throw down with the Rev9. I was proud of the director for not pushing anything (at least not in any way that I noticed) because I didn't want to hear it in my Terminator film!

Truthfully, while it's not perfect, Terminator: Dark Fate is a good movie (not just a good Terminator movie) and is only woke if you walk in looking for it.… Expand
