I'm also excited for Gabriel Luna as the new Terminator. Dude was good as Ghost Rider on AOS

But how does this movie tie into the timelines of the previous movies in the series?

I never saw any of the movies after III. Is this upcoming movies building upon the existing timeline or is this a one off for a reboot or new story?

Dark Fate is a sequel to T2.

T3, Salvation and Genisys don't exist/didn't happen.

I'm looking forward to it.

I wonder what happened to John.

Furlong was confirmed will be in the movie but hasn't shown him in any trailers so not sure.

..............

























John dies early in the film. whether it takes place closer to the events in T2 or in present time, i'm not sure (again, it's a rumour, but might explain why we don't see him in any of the promo material). i think they're pretty much replacing him with whoever that chick was in the trailers cos gender-swapping is the thing now and there's always a chick who's "they KEY to EVERYthing!" lol. plus with another new 'female' terminator & Linda back in the saddle, it's looking like another girl-power woke-fest instead of a solid genre story set within an established film universe. thanks hollywood!

it basically looks like trash.
only worthy of a bootleg watch.
can't believe they got the band back together again for this.

V.

where John Connor saves the world and it's 100 minutes of human resistance and Terminators squaring off?

that's the last and only Terminator movie that needs to be made

lol, it obviously doesn’t wrap up, but I do think it’s post-Judgment Day.

Salvation had that stupid "human Terminator from the past" subplot and unsatisfying open ending so they could make a sequel

Is this the official end of this franchise? I heard its pretty terrible but thought would get someone here to verify.

It comes out tonight. I'm seeing it tonight and will report back.

lol realized that after I posted, for some reason thought it had been out a week already. I just saw a few bad reviews but the trailers really didn't get me amped to see it. Maybe its better than what I fear tho.

It starts to fall apart a little towards the end but it's a good popcorn flick.

It was good.. or maybe I was just delirious after working for 10 hours.

The sixth “Terminator” entry debuted with a dismal $29 million in North America and $102 million overseas, disappointing figures for a movie that cost $185 million to produce, plus $80 million to $100 million in global marketing and distribution fees. Unless “Terminator: Dark Fate” sees an exceptionally strong hold in the coming weeks, sources at rival studios estimate the movie could lose $100 million theatrically. It will be able to earn back some of that money in television and streaming licensing deals, as well as through home entertainment sales and rentals.


Seriously: Fuck Arnold and this bullshit remakes/rehash/retread BIG BUDGET films. Make these shits for $40 million and turn a profit - idiots.

im not sure what they spent that $185 million on.

I don't see why anyone who isn't a die hard fan being in anyway hyped to see this. Even with Cameron's and Miller's involvment.

Every five or so years, somebody at that production company thinks its a good idea to pull out a Terminator movie and they've all been disappointing. Most people under 35 have no idea that the Terminator series were cutting edge movies, in terms of story and spectacle. They just know them as mediocre movies in which nothing really changes from movie to movie (Salvation excluded)

The action looks great and its great to see Hamilton on screen, but this franchise has run its course. Unfortunately, for us as viewers, it was wronged by poor politics behind the scenes and consistenly bad storytelling. We never got to see how compelling this story could have been.

than go see what is apparently an actually good action movie

In general, as a long time sci-fi fan since childhood, most time-travel movies aren't done super well.

They should have really realized at this point that telling the same story again and again (much like Star Wars) is just gonna be diminishing returns and introduced new characters and moved the story forward instead of retreading the same ground over and over.

but.....

Fuck aliens.

It was ok.

I'm a fan of the 1st 2 movies and the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Its the same story over and over. I liked Salvation, because at least they weren't in the present/past.

The whole diverging timelines things was cool, but you can get away with nearly anything like that. This movie takes place I guess in an alternate timeless to T3.

There's not any new territory here, plot-wise, so it's all depends on the execution and the little touches. This ain't Fury Road or anything, but it's better than your average modern big budget action movie.

Funny, Linda Hamilton was one of my least favorite elements. I guess after Jaimie Lee Curtis in the last Halloween movie and Mark Hammill in the last couple of Star Wars movies, I'm a bit burnt out on the returning grizzled, sarcastic, angry icon. I think it's in part with the way all three played their characters. Seemed forced and over-the-top.

My problem is how weightless the CGI felt. Not that I expect practical effects at this point... but too many Terminators fighting is a problem when there's no obvious consequence.

I also think no characters reached the necessary development beyond the ones we already knew. Which makes it pretty forgettable. But the action is better than I expected, and same with the effects, all things considered.

Really, there was only one really fun, unexpected choice in this, and that was Arnold's character.

One thing that has hurt all of these movies besides the first two is the lack of a terrifying Terminator. The first Terminator is damn near a horror movie, IMO. Then Robert Patrick is unsettling in a whole new way. Since then, they terminators haven't been all awful, but never terrifying.

The female Terminator is pretty awesome, Mostow's action rips, and the ending is absolutely fantastic.

While still being pretty far behind the first two.

The female terminator was cool. Just not scary. But I remember it being enjoyable.

One funny thing about all of these sequels is how committed the robots are to such a stupid plan. Maybe it'll work THIS time!
