Terminator: Dark Fate

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.… 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

That this movie is atIt doesn't take a particularly bright mind to see the irony behind the statement, "best one since Terminator 2." Considering the circumstances in play for this oft-troubled franchise, what is that even supposed to mean? That this movie is at its worst a "mostly entertaining" entry in the franchise overall, just as "Terminator 2" was, and that that's all it needed to be? That this movie is even worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence as the other successful "Terminator" films? That this movie has somehow undone the years of inadequacy and lunacy we've had to endure since "Terminator 2"? It's a desperate, simpering notion, with the emptiness that is this movie backing it up. This is a pretty decent action movie, but a woefully misguided and -- at times -- laughably conceived "Terminator" film. They've run roughshod over the lore and spit in the eye -- I feel -- of so many who admire the second film, making the mere idea of this movie having a favorable connection to it in any way an absolutely daffy one. I'm only feeling lucky in that, as a casual fan of the films, I eventually turned my brain off and disconnected from it all, ultimately coming to the conclusion mid-viewing that this still isn't a real sequel to "Terminator 2" for me. Just like the others haven't been. But I can only imagine what some of the franchise die hards must be going through. Again.… 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. I made an account just to review this movie and express my disappointment. 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

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.… Expand

However, this particular reset in the franchise might be the best one yet, if only barely. There's a couple returning familiar faces, with Linda Hamilton returning as Sarah Connor and of course Arnie himself returning once again. The best new character standout for me was Mackenzie Davis as a human/Terminator hybrid. The story takes a few surprising turns here and there, and while some of them work, some felt not as warranted or effective. The action sequences were pretty great for the most part, even if some were a little too over the top. Overall, I respected the decision to retcon everything that's happened in the past few Terminator sequels in favor of making this a more true and direct sequel to the first two Terminator films (the best ones), but I simply found this to be a fun and enjoyable sequel, and was nothing that blew my mind too much.… Expand

In 2015, we had twoWe've seen, over the last few years now, many iconic franchises making their big "come-back" movie, with eager audiences flocking out to see it, and the movie itself fulfilling expectations as to what the fans desire most. In 2015, we had two blockbuster film franchises returning for more adventures and they were; 'Jurassic World' and 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'. Both of these films, regardless of what everyone may think of them now, had the benefit of being absent for over a decade before their big-screen return. For the most part, they were big in scale and scope, entertaining and epic to the point where they broke many box office records. While the "Terminator" franchise hasn't been absent for that long, after 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' (1991), we did get; 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' (2003), 'Terminator: Salvation' (2009) and 'Terminator: Genisys' (2015). But this one, 'Terminator: Dark Fate' is supposed to be the big "come back" film mainly because James Cameron - who wrote and directed the first two - is returning as co-writer and producer of this film, while Tim Miller ('Deadpool') is given control as the director. The film, without giving away too many spoilers, is pretty much what you've seen before. It's great to see Linda Hamilton return as Sarah Connor, as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger, but the film lacks a big surprise or suspense. There is nothing in this film except hollow and mechanical scenes which should be riveting and exhilarating, but they just feel passable. The cast, including Mackenzie Davis ('The Martian' and 'Tully') do a good job of what's required from them, but overall, very early on in the film, fans may feel alienated as to how the story begins. You may like this as a sense of diversion, and it is arguably better than what's come before, but overall, this film will make you feel empty, and maybe there is either a hunger for more big "Terminator" adventures, or, you're just done seeing these kinds of stories being told...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lazy script + SJW Politics + Jump the shark scenes = terrible film. Dark fate is a terrible story....really, there is no story. It is poorly written and I am shocked James Cameron, who is known for his intricate interwoven story lines and realistic believable characters and action really bombed this movie when he allowed amateur writers to wreck his franchise. This movie is episodic. By that I mean it is just the same characters going from one scene to the next in miniature episodes without any over-arcing or interwoven story whatsoever beyond "lets run to the next location". When each episode is done (lasting about 15 minutes), everything that happened in that episode is 100% forgotten and nothing is ever referenced again later on. Many things in this movie are absurd and grounded in stupidity and poor script writing:

.... US Air force major is just going to hand over top secret gear without so much as explaining it to us? A truck falls 200 feet from a dam into ravenous waters with human passengers and no one is injured? A plane at 20,000 feet bursts and no one blacks out over decompression? SJW politics are amock, running foul in this film. The first 30 minutes are in Spanish, I do not exaggerate, I thought I was watching a foreign film. One 15 minute episode has our characters at a border detention facility where...surprise surprise...US customs are negatively portrayed complete with a reference to separating families. Good grief. Lack of originality: In this terminator the BIG REVEAL (why she is so important) is so obvious- it was pretty much shouted at us multiple times long before it happened. NO one with an IQ over 20 would have assumed she was going to give birth to someone after the repeated insults to our intelligence by announcing it loud and clear early on. John Connor was someone who led the resistance....Guess what this girl does? Oh yea....how original. The girl in this movie literally goes from "i've never touched a gun before" shy and typical to expert marksman and full on military leader in 5 minutes. So stupid.

A scene where non cyborg humans are underwater and then pop up to the surface like they are made out of Styrofoam is ridiculously unrealistic.

too many plot holes and lack of an interwoven story in between all the little "episodes" the characters take every 10 minutes... make iDark Fate a bad movie patronizing to intelligence

'Dark Fate' was meh. I mean it's basically the Force Awakens of the franchise just more cash grab. Like...how many times can they keep alternating T1 & T2, and yet it's astounding that it never ruins the legacy of the series.

Despite all that, it's the third best in the series. At least this movie knows that Terminator is not for kids! I had some engagement in the movie, even through the reason being that it follows a familiar plot line.

Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger are both the stand outs. Hamilton playing a cranky bad-ass and Arnold playing an involved machine that has a life of his own. Mackenzie Davis was surprisingly not as annoying as I thought she will be just from the marketing alone. Her character was straight forward in terms of motivation and can take damage.

Tim Miller really knows how to direct action scenes effectively and in this movie he delivers some grand action set pieces. However, after seeing the movie a few days ago, only a small selection stick to memory.

Gabriel Luna did a decent job playing the new advance Terminator. They took the "Robert Patrick" approach with picking an ordinary looking guy and making him into the biggest threat of humanity. Although it was a bit hard for me to feel threaten by him as throughout the movie he seemed easily out match by pretty much everyone.

I didn't really buy into Dani played by Natalia Reyes as the main "saviour of the future", mainly because of her stiff acting and everytime she holds a gun it's twice her size.

The visual effects at times looked pretty OK, but the rest looked really bad. It really doesn't help when there's close ups on the effects where you can see the fakeness. At times the movie was a little too dark and I don't mean in tone, just whenever it's night time.

Overall rating: Not as great as T1 & T2, but nothing will without James Cameron magic touch.… Expand

The new Terminator-Lite has the ability to split, that he never really uses to his advantage.
It feel like they are trying to overwrite the previous Terminator films making a Mexican immigrant girl the new savior, killing John, but still forcing Sarah to raise the "new savior" implying that not only men, but mothers to men are bad.

This movie is woke garbage, but I'm sure it scores well on the Bechdel Test.

Saw it tonight with some friends is trash. I wanted to like it but could not is so dumb. Natalia Reyes was horrible looked like a child with a gun badly cast. The terminator was blah there are a few cool moments but nope this is not our terminator.

Granted some of the decisions made about characters were shocking and possibly disappointing but maybe a little change is what this franchise needed because the direction it was heading was honestly getting dull. Action sequences are not just good, they are absolutely stellar actually. Grace who is the augmented human fighting against the terminator was fantastic because you could feel how unnaturally powerful beings would fight and damage you would do. Acting was decent as well, i felt like it was better than the last 2 movies hands down. And of course it will have minor plot holes, its the terminator franchise thats saying goodbye to the previous 2 movies. That doesn't make this a bad movie. Avengers had a lot of plot holes, but that doesn't make endgame a bad movie lol I don't know i feel like there is a rush to judgement on this movie. It doesn't deserve a 3.6 at all (at the time of my review) I hope you guys give it a chance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movies takes a hot steaming dump on the legacy of the first two movies which are arguably some of the action movies ever made. Killing off John Connor in the first few minutes and replacing him with virtue signaling in the form of an illegal immigrant girl. Wasted my money. The transgender terminator is a joke and the antagonist is about as scary as a bookworm nerd.… Expand

What’s in the box? Forced appearances of Arnie and Sarah (but she’s so underdeveloped as a character that it hurts), a finger to the fans of John Connor, dialogues hurting my ears... it’s bad writing. And the ending... gosh, It’s Genisys all over again. I must say this, since first scene on the beach I’ve felt disconnected, nothing made me interested In next act and these two points of this review are only for deaged sequence. Sorry, Terminator franchise is now dead. People change, that’s why Cameron can’t guarantee us a good movie anymore. He praised Genisys (which at this point I like more) before, he rightly bought the rights to this franchise after last one flopped and nothing has changed.… Expand

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok. Who thought this was gonna be a good idea?
Skynet got destroyed and THAT judgement day was aborted, but for some reason a new AI called "legion" takes over in the future and for some reason it also builds terminator that look like Arnie to kill John Connor... and they succeded, but that doesn't make any sense since in the new future Not-Skynet's nemesis is a girl called Danni. Yeah. That happened. They killed John Connor, which survival was a central point for the first two movies just like that.
Arnie ks back as a terminator that tries to blend in human society, that was a good point, but falls short once you realize he is just the comic relief.
The good terminator is grace and she has one of the dumbest weaknesses ever, having to resort to meds every now and then to keep her metabolism up or something.
I'm not even sure if this terminator that came back and killed Johm was sent by Skynet, which shouldn't exist anymore according to the movie itself, since J-day was aborted, or if it was Legion, which also doesn't make sense, since it is Danni that will lead human kind to victory. Avoid it. It sucks like all the sequels after T2.… Expand

Arnold Schwarzenegger has still got it as theJust finished #TerminatorDarkFate. My reaction: while it doesn’t react the heights of Terminator 1&2, it’s much better than T3, Salvation and Genysis. Very action-packed. Delivers on the R-rating. Arnold Schwarzenegger has still got it as the OG Terminator who now goes by Carl, in fact, he probably has the most saddest story arc in the movie . Natalia Reyes is not bad as the new hero Dani. Now, while I don’t wanna go into spoilers, I will say that while the leaks are true, the way they’re executed on screen, particularly the opening scene, is very sad. And, I will say that is in part due to the return of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, which is why this movie works, because of her. Please go see this movie and give it a chance because I liked it. I really did.

My rating: 4/5. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

P.S. If you see Dark Fate in IMAX, you’ll see the trailer for Tom Cruise’s #TopGunMaverick in IMAX ratio form since it was shot with IMAX cameras and it looks amazing in IMAX.

P.P.S. While Arnold doesn’t say his signature “I’ll Be Back” line, he does address in a humorous but sad way that I won’t spoil, so, be on the lookout for it.… Expand

But what makes this the worst is that there is no decent music, the effects are average, the look and feel of the movie is like Terminator 3 and Genisys. There's no nostalgia or dark/tension/horror to it. Very little emotion or care for the characters. Of course they had to give the Terminator a wife and kid just to mess up the whole illusion. I don't know whats going on in Hollywood nowadays, but they've lost the plot completely trying to please women, lesbians, gays, and what not instead of just making a decent movie. Joker did it right. Transformers (2007) did it right. Cobra Kai series does it right. Terminator Dark Fate does not.… Expand

This had to do more with Tim Miller-Jim Cameron duo doing early promos with their thoughts on the same. There are issues in how action sequences unfold and its pacing relative to the drama. Some of the CGI sequences could have been better and done in a better lit environment and that being one of my major issues while trying to experience it on the screen. The narrative is not so engaging like it was with Judgement Day. They had Linda Hamilton as a character and could have used it to the core but it gets undermined by the newly introduced characters that don't strike enough chord with the viewers as an engaging experience and that being the main disappointment with this one. It's more like a marginal improvement over whatever installments came after T3. To me, Rise of the machines is more closer to the league where Judgement Day and The Terminator remains. I guess it'd take something more to beat it. Atleast, it's reassuring both the mediocre/below average movies that released after T3 have finally been bettered with Tim Miller's contribution. I'm hoping a sequel would improve upon the shortcomings.… Expand
