Jobber 1,822 Posted May 23 The first official trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate. Trailer This is the only direct sequel to T1 & T2, and directed by James Cameron. For once, I’m somewhat excited about a new Terminator movie. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insein 8,256 Posted May 23 Expectations very low. Seems like it has another Terminator that doesn't know it's a terminator. I've long since given up on the timelines and how they work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarmaPolice 8,808 Posted May 26 Hard pass. There aren't many action/sc-fi movies I love more than the 1-2 punches of the first two Alien and first two Terminator movies, but both franchises have been run into the ground. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They next couple times watching the trailer, the more I cringe. I don't get what the purpose of an unattractive female Terminator serves skynet. It's not a good infiltration unit. I guess it can be a good fighter but then why not keep mass producing the Arnold skins? I'm sure it will be a really dumb reason written in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simsarge 433 Posted November 1 Saw this tonight and thought it was kinda good. The good : Some good Arnold one liners, lots of chase scenes, good action and not too much over thinking about time lines. The bad: If Linda Hamilton doesn't 'win' a Razzie for this, I'm quitting the academy. She's awful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insein 8,256 Posted November 1 This movie is a POS. They didn't just ruin Terminator, they tried to reboot it without John Connor and without SkyNet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was nothing more than a foul mouthed, buffed up granny, wanna be action star. She was the weakest part of T2 and now she's at the point where she's distractingly bad.

Socrates11 333 Posted November 1 This review breaks down the whole movie, so don't watch it if you are trying to avoid spoilers, but it makes a lot of great points about how this franchise has gone off the rails, not just because of the need to reboot it as 'woke', but for many other plotholes and cringey moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEvwz2eVbek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to see this last night. Blech. I thought the only bright spot was Mackenzie Davis as Grace. Her actions scenes were pretty bad-###. The rest of the film waffled between unremarkable and bad.

I thought she looked like a female Clint Eastwoood. Weathered face and steely-eyed stare. She LOOKED like a bad-###. Unfortunately the dialogue they gave her was bland and colorless. I don't blame her as much as the writers. They did nothing to advance the character of Sarah Connors. She starts this film as the same character as T2 and ends as the same character from T2. She may has well have been a terminator considering the lack of emotion and depth they provided for her. Blech. J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree 100%, I feel the exact same way and I would also add in the Star Wars movies to this. A+ on the first Star Wars, A-/B+ on the 2nd Star Wars, with the stupid ewok crap the 3rd one gets a C but ultimately (to me) that franchise has also been run into the ground. I've watched them all but each time I watch one, they either seem bad or if not bad they have a been there done that quality. Highlander, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, etc. To me, so many movie sequels/franchises are just absolute crap, first one may be very good or even amazing and then they're just ruined with really campy, garbage sequels. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emilia Clarke was young Sarah Connor back in time and aware of the future for reasons. Tx was the terminatrix in T3. She died at the end of T3. If you mean the actress Kristiana Loken, IDK I'd have to look her up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, he said Hollywood. I agree there is a ton of content to watch, but I think people confuse all the options that are good TV shows, exclusive for streaming networks, etc.. with what you can choose to see in the theater. Where I am, if I want to go to the theater it's basically one screen at 9pm of an indie movie then every other screen and time filled with existing IP, sequels, and reboots. I might be exaggerating a tad, but you get the point. I can't see something like Parasite anywhere near me, but there are probably 25 showings of Terminator 6.

Andy Dufresne 7,734 Posted November 5 The only Terminator I hated was Salvation. The truck chase in T3 is freaking awesome. And I like how the ending didn't chicken out. But Nick Stahl is just terrible. Genisys was horribly, horribly cast (Jai Courtney is the worst) but there were some not dumb ideas, Jason Clarke was cool, and it looked decent. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-arcK- 128 Posted November 5 I went to see it because my daughter was excited for it. She's watched all of them with me the past few months, and even though most of them are crappy it's been a fun dad/daughter bonding activity. Anyway it was okay. It has some moderately entertaining action scenes and a couple of new twists on the Terminator universe. It's definitely not a good movie, but for the most part better than the other sequels following T2. 2.5/5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waingro 1,207 Posted November 9 This was the best Terminator movie since T2, which I guess isn't saying much. This movie definitely has its flaws but still was entertaining for what it was. The use of the deepfake technology in the first scene was incredible (young Furlong, Linda and Arnold). Its a bit scary how good this technology has gotten. At first I though it was unused footage or something like that but wow, this scene looked seamless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
