#Terminator dark fate movie#
In the end, I can both recommend this movie as a solid action film, as well as an okay sequel to T2: Judgement Day. Still, this movie was more of a breath of fresh air for the franchise, rather than a great film. This movie feels simpler than the rest, which was a nice change of pace. For doing this, it doesn't have to worry about the baggage that the previous films have created for any future instalments.

That will definitely be confusing to those who have followed the franchise and have no idea that's what they're doing here, but it's also a big positive. Terminator: Dark Fate picks up after the events of the second film, choosing ignoring instalments three to five. This movie is riddled with story flaws, but that's honestly to be expected with these films at this point. It may seem like a negative to say that this movie would've been so much better if it wasn't part of the Terminator franchise, but if you can look past that, I think you'll be able to enjoy yourself. I think this is a very well-directed piece of action cinema, with characters you love from the past and enough new stuff to keep you engaged. Quite new to the directing chair, Tim Miller had only worked on Deadpool before being hired for this film, but that didn't bleed through into the final product at all. There are a few creative liberties taken throughout the movie that had me scratching my head, but for the most part, this film is just trying to deliver an exciting ride, which is what I feel it accomplished. Like many franchises that fear straying too far into original territory, this movie feels stale in terms of storytelling at times, but as a movie outside of the Terminator franchise, it's actually quite good.

After viewing it, this film didn't do anything to get me excited for another instalment or anything like that, but I enjoyed it.Įchoing many elements from the first two films, Terminator: Dark Fate follows Grace and Sarah Connor as they find themselves protecting a young girl from a liquid terminator that has been sent to kill her. This time, although Cameron was not at the helm as director, he was actually backing it as a producer, so if any of these movies deserved a little hope, it was this one. This is now the sixth film and everything past the second has been subpar to me, excluding the fact that I did get some enjoyment out of Terminator: Salvation. Losing James Cameron as the head of this franchise was always the biggest thing wrong, due to the fact that he told his story and wrapped it up in the second film, T2: Judgement Day.

Could we be looking at a Westworld-esque development of an artificial soul? Will the barriers between mechanical and biological consciousness be brought crashing to the unforgiving ground? And most importantly, at 72, will Schwarzenegger ever stop making every other man on the planet feel self-conscious about their bodies? Stay tuned to find out.Regardless of how much you liked any of the previous instalments in the Terminator franchise, it goes without saying that it has been a bumpy ride, story-wise. Miller also, somewhat cryptically, brought up that Terminators are "learning machines," and that the longer one sticks around, the more it's going to pick up on humanity. We know that he's not the same machine we came to fear in The Terminator and want a hug from in T2, with Tim Miller confirming in an interview that this was an all-new, all-different Arnold.
#Terminator dark fate series#
The end.Īrnold Schwarzenegger is back as "Carl" in his sixth (fifth and a half? Did the CGI Arnold from Terminator: Salvation count?) appearance as an 800 series Terminator, the line tied with every other model for "most likely to die dramatically with their face torn up by the end of any given Terminator movie." What do we know about his part in the film? Not much so far. The good guy Terminator quasi-reenacts the ending of Shane, riding off into a vat of thousand-degree metal instead of the sunset. Together, John and the Terminator rescue Sarah, form an unlikely friendship, go on a cross-country road trip, and slaughter the gloopy metal bad guy with a combination of liquid nitrogen, molten steel, and camaraderie. The leather guy is a reprogrammed Terminator sent back in time by future John to save present John from another robot, sent back in time by Skynet to kill present John. Her son John bounces between foster homes until one day, a guy in a leather jacket saves him from a police officer who can morph into liquid metal.

Released in 1991 but set in 1995, T2 sees Sarah locked up in a psychiatric ward on account of her unconventional parenting and her insistence that future robots are coming to kill the love child she had with a soldier from the 21st century. Which brings us to Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
