And the script ... The script is repetitive crap that loads the first two in 5 **** minutes. Even Terminator 3 is better in this section (and still seems the best of the sequels after the first two despite their sometimes absurd and childish humor).

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

If you dont mind what it does to the legacy of the first 2 movies and you want some light and thoughtless action in a "you go gurl" coating. This movie might be for you. For the rest of the world, stay WAY clear of this garbage.

T:DF is as much of an entertaining ride as any other action flick from the last 20 years. It doesn't really add anything to the Terminator universe except to help us forget the pain inflicted by T3, T4, and T5. Personally, I'm a little tired of the "liquid metal" Terminator thing and wish they would just make it go away.

I was never bored by the film, but neither was I particularly excited. I give it a 7, I guess, out of respect for Linda & Arnold and the work they did in T1 and T2.… Expand

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

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.… Expand

Screenplay: TERRIBLE
The cast and crew are all pros and do the best they can with a disastrous story and script. The usual fake-looking "90s video game" CGI also weighs down this film, but the real problem is the catastrophic fail in the storyline and the screenplay.

Obviously the demographic committee wanted to add more women leads and more "diversity". They also decided to show a "kinder gentler" side of Terminators -- as in, retired Terminators settle down and raise a family after they finish their mission. I mean it *might* have been funny as an SNL skit... but as the official, serious storyline in an actual Terminator film? Is this supposed to be a thoughtful, meaningful exploration of human and robot psychology? Epic, epic fail.

Someone at the higher levels should have known to block this crap. It's the misguided "cute ideas" of a desperate, and very pretentious screenwriter having a bad day under deadline pressure. In this case, the screenwriter essentially destroys the entire franchise. A good cast, good performances, and even the great Linda Hamilton herself cannot rescue this totally unconvincing storyline.

Nevertheless, there's another film that needs to be made here. It's the only story that could deliver the same grim, visceral, prophetic resonance of the first Terminator: a film that shows us Judgment Day, the nuclear war itself -- not in a soft, 30-second CGI clip, but in an HOUR LONG, immersive sequence showing just exactly what it would really be like for the human race to destroy itself this way. What it would look and feel like from street level. How things would go down in the days of horror immediately following. A dark film with no fan service whatsoever, a film designed to shock the audience and deliver the same warning as the first one, but amplified by modern cinematography and effects. Such a film could actually help restore the urgency of political opposition to nuclear weapons, and we need this now.… 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.

The FX is very good and the action keeps the interest. The acting isn't so bad, even if the two from the future don't have charismatic features. But everything is predictable from beginning to end. I give it a 58%. The Terminators movies feels like an eternal loop of the same story. Rebooting it, is just restarting the same loop again.… Expand

– S2S

We are back *Terminator voice*. This weekend we are able to give you a review of Terminator: Dark Fate. But first things first.

Let’s catch you up on Terminator history. This movie takes place more than 20 years after Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) met and survived the original Terminator (1984) and then prevented judgment day years later (in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)) (forget about all the other Terminators between ’91 and ’18). We find out what she did essentially altered history and the fate of the human race. Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) is living a simple life in Mexico City with her brother and father when a new, highly advanced and murderous Terminator – a Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna) – travels back through time to hunt and kill her. Dani’s survival depends on her joining forces with two heroines: Grace (Mackenzie Davis), an enhanced super-soldier from the future, and an old, battle-hardened Sarah Connor. We follow Rev-9 as he tracks Dani; and, he leaves a trail of destruction on the way. Luckily for them, they find T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from Sarah’s past and recruit him to help them save the day.

Now that you have the history and a simple version of the plot, let’s give you the good and the bad.

There is tons of action in this movie. There is so much action that some of the scenes were repetitive and could have been cut to shorten the movie. Nevertheless, if you love explosions, constant chasing and fighting, this movie is right up your alley. Forget any of the plot this movie force feeds down our throat and just sit there and enjoy the action. Surprisingly, this movie has a couple (2 or 3) scenes that actually made me laugh out loud – maybe because they were unexpected or maybe because they were actually that funny. Either way, the comedic relief was appreciated as the movie just feels constantly heavy. Arnold really stole the movie and quiet as it’s kept made the movie bearable. Lastly, I enjoyed the women’s empowerment underlying message and highlight of Mexico in this movie. Now for the bad.

The movie felt 3x longer than it actually was. The movie didn’t break the 2 hour mark, but I found myself checking my watch and the pre-teen next to me clearly went from “enjoying this movie” to “get me out of here” by the last 20 minutes. You would think the action would quell those feelings, but ultimately, this is the same exact “Terminator” action and moves we’ve been dealing with for 35 years. The producers could’ve given us something new to make us “ooo” and “ahh”. So, the action was good but nothing we haven’t seen before.

Lastly, this storyline, that they harped on constantly, was just convoluted for no reason. The idea has already been fleshed out in two movies and yet for some reason the writers decided to try to confuse the audience and make the movie seem more deep than it really is. This movie is quite shallow and obvious. Don’t try to trick us as viewers with a basic and predictable storyline when we’re clearly only there for the action and explosions.

Long story short, I know the Terminator fans out there will enjoy this movie, but to everyone else, this is a perfect movie to watch on FX in six months or so. You won’t have missed anything. This movie is basically Miss Bala with robots chasing her instead of drug lords.

With that said, stay tuned to Stream to Big Screen…

We’ll be back. *Terminator voice*… 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

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert: Terminator: Dark Fate is the result of a director experiencing sophomoric inflation under the guidance of an originator who wishes to see director's under his influence/guidance fail as a means to establish his own supremacy.

Dark Fate starts off with a scene that is not only telling of the humanistic decay of Hollywood, but that of our culture as a whole. John Connor, in his youth, is unceremoniously shot by a T-800 with a shotgun twice, once in the chest at midrange, and once in the head at close range, while talking to a girl in Honduras, with his mother, as she watches on.

If that scene sounds horrific it's because it is. We have come so far from our own humanity that we are willing to sacrifice it one screen, meaninglessly, just to setup a plot.

No thought to what came before.

Was it possible to construct a meaningful Terminator "3" while honoring the plots of the previous two films? I would like to think so.

The slaughter of John Connor not only betrays the character and the audience but introduces the fundamental error possible in any story about time-travel. It unravels the plausibility of the timey-whimey reality into a ball of meaningless noodles, which if thought about burst in, "wait what's?"

The further plot is no better and is an attempt to make, "meaning," out of the initial betrayal to the audience.

I wonder if slaughtering John was a way for James Cameron to vicariously and quasi-cathartically end his relationship with Linda Hamilton, whilst simultaneously flipping her off behind his back, roses in front of him. Please, join this next film, it's going to be great, oh and we are going to kill our metaphorical son right in front of you in the first scene, to your impotence.

I can only imagine after Deadpool Tim Miller thought he could do no wrong, at the time the most successful R-rated film ever released. Failed sophomoric attempts are so common in the entertainment industry that Billy Corgan is quoted as saying the industry types, at least in music, don't expect talents to last for more than four years. Apparently the execs are going to give Tim Miller a second chance. Part of me doesn't want that to happen. Though, he is human. The rest of the film is an un-original new terminator which is literally just a combining of the previous two terminators, an ill formed attempt at being, "woke," and some not so great banter.

This was not passing the torch.

In fact I have decided that personally, for me, many of the beloved franchises never really got the new sequels. Just because it is official cannon, according to some corporation, doesn't mean it will take up the same mythopoetic space within the culture as the predecessors. You can't insist your version of the tale is the one the culture and it's melange of unconscious fantasy is going to take on. No one will really remember this film, for the most part. No one is going to analyze and use as metaphor the Star Wars sequels, for the most part. Cash grabs have that effect. They may make some sort of uncomfortable splash initially, largely pushed by the lifeless machine behind them, but they have no real impact, the deeper currents of the body of water they land in somewhat unaffected.

This recent pate of crappy sequels however says a lot more about our culture. Why are we incapable of generating anything of substance? I suggest we have forgotten the need for suffering. I am just riffing off of Camille Paglia.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Massive Spoilers*
After basing the whole story on one person, now you're trying to kill him (John Connor, the hero) off and replacing him with a taco eating ****
No thank you, that **** is not acceptable.

And why would she (the taco eating **** bond with the psycho **** (the one from the future) within 24 hours enough to sleep on her lap?
Insane is why! Stockholm syndrome!

And why isn't the psycho **** (the one from the future) packing a Red Bull or two if it's well known that she runs out of juice every 5 minutes?

And why would the taco eating **** and the psycho **** (the one from the future) save the Terminator (Carl, the original Terminator) when Sarah tried to shoot him? Even though the psycho **** (the one from the future) is supposed to kill all Terminators to save the taco eating ****.

And why would she (the taco eating **** cry and tell her she saved her life when the psycho **** (the one from the future) dies? When clearly THE MAN (The original Terminator) saved her taco eating ass!

And how come they (Sarah Connor and the taco eating **** were watching the explosion of the power cell that killed the new Terminator and Carl (The original Terminator) from about 20 meters distance? When previous explosions from power cells have taken out city blocks!??

And why didn't you make the CGI better looking, more realistic? From the moment the Terminators walked up from the sea it did not look good (real).

I am glad I didn't pay to see this movie.
I have paid for the previous movies, several times. I went to the premiers on cinema and then got the DVD's, later the Bluray's, special editions and ****.
But this **** just ain't worth it!
You totally killed The Terminator now, this used to be kick-ass action!… Expand

So, this was $200m budget and directed by Time Miller who made Deadpool which i thought was corny but worth seeing. first of all, the camera angles change either too fast or in the wrong orientation, because it feels like chop suey to watch. The cgi is absolutely awful, an early shot has a sack lunch turn into a pistol. Both terminators are generic, it starts looking like a Home Depot commercial. The female Kyle Reese has potential but she is too rushed in behavior, Kyle was cool in that he was never in a hurry no matter how crazy the situation. Linda Hamilton is always great but everything feels choreographed, like Sully when the plane landed perfectly after 17 attempts. I don't know how Spanish people became the focus, an explanation would have been nice beforehand. I think for Hollywood feminism is a gimmick, which is a bummer because there are a lot of brave women fighting for a place in the world. Biggest plot hole: Linda asks who the girl is, she says nobody, ok why did Linda know where to look? This movie is an excellent opportunity to study script writing. Roger Corman said #1 rule is have a good script, I may not know what that is but this movie shows what is is not. Movies like this are a great lesson in how it could go wrong. The dialog is horrendous, characters denigrating each other is never a good sign. I made it to 40 minutes in this movie, had to quit. I very rarely don't watch the whole thing.… 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

Let'sThe most disappointing film of 2019, Terminator: Dark Fate has all the ingredients to make it a resurgence of this decades old franchise. Alas, it is literally a final nail on the coffin, despite it being produced by Cameron himself. Let's get the positive side: Linda Hamilton is literally bad ass as Sarah Connor and her performance is the best thing about this film. Other than that, the Terminator saga yet again implemented another 'hard reset' that negates its previous 'installments'. This time it would be better, as promised by the film makers. And boy, do they throw everything but the kitchen sink into this. You have major set piece after set piece being thrown at you, and they are a painful reminder that 'Judgment Day' is still the best action movie around. None of it work until slightly near the end. The biggest problem of this film: it is so derivative of the old flicks that there is literally no point of seeing this beside seeing this franchise 'updated' with modern technology. However...what they had before was so innovative and revolutionary, it even held well decades after its release. It's time for the film makers and its fans to say 'hasta la vista' to this franchise.… Expand

Okay action movie, and once again there are chase sequences that are purely about how much of the environment the Terminators can destroy with vehicles of mass destruction, ala T2 and T3, which were probably the most enjoyable part of the whole thing. However there's also a twist somewhere in the movie that might not sit well with some, the likes of which would be more fitting in a spinoff comic rather than a direct T2 sequel where it is wholly unwelcome and unwanted. And like Genysis, a lot of things are straight up not explained so they can be saved for a sequel which is no longer happening. On a related note, the actor for the Terminator antagonist is absolutely wonderful and he is legitimately intimidating. However, our beloved hero Sarah is relegated to standing in the shadows and scowling with the occasional scathing one-liner, which is extremely disappointing. To sum it up, Dark Fate is a deeply flawed movie with great action sequences and a fantastic antagonist, but a resounding ehhh when it comes to everything else.… Expand

Even if you take away the Terminator lore and see it as a separate action movie, it does not impress much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terminator: Dark Fate. The so called 'true' sequel to T2. The film was...Okay for the most part. It had the potential to be a solid 7/10 but that didn't happen unfortunately. With the plot being the same exact thing we have already seen. Basically a rehash of T1 and T2. Judgement Day has been delayed, Skynet is no more but a new AI named 'Legion' has wiped out humanity at 2042. A Rev-9 is sent back to modern day to kill a girl named Dani Ramos while an enhanced human named Grace is also sent back in time but to protect Dani. The two get help from Sarah Connor herself and later Arnold to kill the Rev-9. Linda Hamilton is great, Arnold is great, Mackenzie Davis did a good job on Grace too, but Dani Ramos wasn't a good character however and was one of the problems with the film...As for the Rev-9 played by Gabriel Luna, he was fine. But wasn't special or as good as Robert Patrick was as the T-1000 in T2. The action is good, the soundtrack in my personal opinion is pretty generic but some of it was quite good at least, and as for the VFX, they sucked. Some of the CGI looked good, but most of it didn't looked well at all, ESPECIALLY in the airplane sequence. No practical effects whatsoever. Terminator is also known for having amazing action and stunts done in practical effects, right? Now how is the story? It wasn't good. Spoilers ahead but right at the first five minutes of the film, we get a de-aged T-800, de-aged Sarah Connor, and a de-aged John Connor. The T-800 shoots John twice in the chest, killing him. Which to me was disappointing. So who's the savior of humanity in the future war now? Dani Ramos. They should have went for a better idea than this honestly. Hell, they should make a future war film that fans would love and appreciate. HOWEVER, let's not get a future war film taking place in the Legion timeline. Anyways, the film gets a 6.4/10. As a standalone film, it's decent. As a Terminator film, it's disappointing.… Expand

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst terminator of them all, major problems with this movie for any person especially those that have watched the original terminator, it dull and makes no sense, graphics were ok but the major problem with this movie is the story, it has already been told 4 times, The dialogue is pretty bad, Sarrah Connor thinking that putting your phone in a bag of potatoe chips will block out the tracking signal was pretty dumb and unrealistic, anyone knows a phone works inside a building and a small foil will not help block out the signal, she was also shown to be very smart in judgement day and she teach john connor to hack, Arnold helped the movie but not by much, only making it more enjoyable when he came for nostalgia reasons, but even he can't save this sinking ship. Story spoiler alert - they kill the main hero to be John Conner in the first few minutes and replace the hero to be with a girl name Dani which is ok if it had a reason she was going to be the main hero, but unfortunately this movie is Woke no matter how you look at it, the original John Conner was great with computers because his mum teaches him how to break and hack them, as seen when he got cash when he hacked the ATM, Dani though doesn't have any pre-requisites to replace John Connor or anyone, she cannot shoot a gun, she can't hack, all it show in the beginning is she is complaining that robots are taking people jobs at the factory she working at and she was going to complain to the manager, she doesn't have the character to become any leader, this isn't the movie that fans wanted, this is the same old story retold 5 times already but worst, fans want to know about the future war with skynet, how did humanity win against the computers, we couldn't out breed them as a human take at least 10 years to grow to be able to fight, did we disrupt the mining supplies, factories? This are questions the fans actually want answered, example: we keep getting alien retold and worst each time but we want aliens and to see how skynet works, there life, mining/manufacturing etc, the story does not move on, terminator franchise as funny as it seems it is stuck in it own time loop but degrading each time the story is told.… 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

It’s Honestly Not That Bad
Dark Fate has been given the usual flack for having lead women in this divided day in age, But in all honesty, Dark Fate wasn’t that bad.

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 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

It’s been 35 years since Ahh-nold first threatened to return. For better or worse, he’s back… again.

A unique element of the Terminator series is the complete lack of continuity among the episodes. Unlike “Star Wars” and other filmIt’s been 35 years since Ahh-nold first threatened to return. For better or worse, he’s back… again.

A unique element of the Terminator series is the complete lack of continuity among the episodes. Unlike “Star Wars” and other film franchises, the Terminator films have no canon, meaning that people who have died can suddenly reappear or other crucial plot developments from previous episodes may not actually have happened. This sleight of hand (you say sleight of hand, I say creative laziness) is explained by the amazing fact that anything inconvenient to the current story apparently occurred in a parallel history that never actually came to pass. Some days, suspending your disbelief can involve some very heavy lifting.

In “Terminator: Dark Fate,” Grace, a robot from the future, has been sent to earth to protect Dani, who represents the future of the human race in the face of a future artificial intelligence bent on exterminating all human life. Clearly, shamelessly recycling ideas is another key element of the Terminator series.

To be fair, there’s also a lot of good news about this film. First, Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) and Schwarzenegger (T-800 or Carl) get to reprise their iconic roles. As a bonus, viewers get some really incredible flashbacks, where both characters were digitally de-aged. Current cast members Mackenzie Davis (“Tully,” “Halt and Catch Fire”) as Grace and Natalia Reyes as Dani are appealing, compelling and able to deliver their more egregious lines with a straight face. Also, the action sequences are consistently spectacular. The film’s opening scene runs nine minutes. By the time that first scene concluded, I was wondering if I’d been transported into a new James Bond film. It’s all great fun.

There are a few quibbles: As a mere mortal, it’s totally understandable why Hamilton has aged, let’s make a guess, about 35 years. It’s less apparent why Schwarzenegger, an inanimate T-800 robot, should be so much worse for wear. That’s just one of the many plot twists that don’t just strain credulity – actually, this plot beats the living s*** out of credulity, runs it over with a tank, then throws it off a cliff. The script, too, is totally off the rails. Here’s a sampling. Sarah Connor: “I’m wanted in a couple of states. Fifty, actually.” [After being shot in the chest three times] T-800: “This will be very hard to explain to Alicia.” [After a big battle] T-800: “You look terrible.” Grace: “At least I still have all of my face.”

If you want to see a movie that explores the nuances of human existence, or artificial intelligence… c’mon, really?! On the other hand, if you want to see a killer robot from the future who can operate independently of his endoskeleton, two thumbs way up.… 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

The trailer looked good and hopes were high with Arnie and Linda involved (plus James Cameron as producer) but the finished film runs out of gas very fast. The first action scene is quite thrilling (if a bit derivative of the truck powering through Las Vegas in Jason Bourne) but as the film progresses it gets more and more into (dodgy) CGI Marvel-style special effects. I can see why fans hate the first couple of minutes - it is a slap in the face to first two films. After that it is basically a Roadrunner cartoon - new Terminator gets destroyed, new Terminator melts back together - repeat ad infinitum. Having the female characters as the main protagonists seems to have drawn criticism from (male) fans too. I think the problem is that producers think that simply by switching the gender it makes everything fresh but it doesn’t (Ghostbusters is a perfect example). The main reason to see the movie is Linda Hamilton who is given considerable screen time and rocks. But that doesn’t save the film from being a huge disappointment. No wonder it has flopped at the box office.… 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
