Wow this movie was awful. I haven't been angry watching a movie in a long time. LoL this movie shits on what made the first two legendary sci-fi mythology.

Terminator: Dark Fate misses the mark on pretty much every component of what makes a good movie.

I can't believe Hollywood keeps doing this shit and that James Cameron produced this P.O.S.

i don't understand why there are any terminator movies after judgment day.

didn't they stop the cyber apocalypse from going down?

wasn't judgment day supposed to be sometime in the 2nd clinton term/bulls 2nd 3peat era?

There shouldn't be anymore, each one after T2 was not worthy of being the same property.

They do "explain" how there is more or less the same conflict looming but it's extremely underbaked, like a couple lines of vague dialogue.

I'm not going to include any spoilers but some of the choices were an absolute travesty and yes, one could say I'm triggered regarding this P.O.S. because I'm fullout nerd for anything T-800, Sarah and John Connor.

They just want to push their feminist/SJW propaganda in every established franchise movies. Every modern blockbuster movie is like this, it's so ridiculous.

I know. I mean, I knew this movie was gonna be 'not good' but I still had to see it because of Linda and Arnie. I was thinking maybe they would throw a couple unexpected twists or redemption for its sins but nope, just "wokeness"

That shit doesn't bother me much with a lot of movies but I hated what they did with the franchise.

Speaking of our fellow Mexis, I did like the setting being in Mexico and including native tongue in the beginning.

Regardless of any nonsense trash political journalism surrounding this movie, Mexico and Central America are a big part of the mythos

Agreed, that's cool that they included that. Sandra was besties with our people.

My brother owned a VHS copy of T2, we'd watch it pretty often despite the evil terminator haunting me in my dreams as a kid.

It's not going to make money though. The budget for the film was almost $200 million, so far this opening weekend it's only made like $25 million which is horrible. It'll be lucky to make $100 million.

I read the plot after someone told me how bad it was.

It is f*cking horrible and a waste of time to watch it after I read it.

In my universe there is The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. After that, all the other Terminator films mean nothing to me and are nothing but garbage.

yes, that bad if you have any attachment to the OG entries.

Genysis was a crap movie but I didn't really take it serious so I saw it like a work of fan fiction, a self parody of itself. It had some entertainment value.

This has entertainment value in spots but it just ****ing sucks. It tries to be the bona fide sequel to T2 and that's why it fails so heavy.

Not to mention that Justin Bieber chick was just the worst. THE WORST. She was a snarky, condescending piece of shit who acted tough but couldn't even fight for more than an hour before she needed her insulin shot :oldlol: Worst protector ever

Exactly. The sad part is that seems to be lost on many people as time goes on. Storytelling and art have been taking a back seat to brainwash propaganda for awhile, kinda depressing:lol

Blockbusters used to be legit art, now there's def some nefarious shit going down. There probably was back growing up too, but it didn't come off as a priority and also wasn't hitting the audience like a sledgehammer :hammerhead:

It's a novelty thing. Me and my boys love Arnold lol I've been on his podcast few times and somehow there's always some kind of Arnold/Terminator/Predator ref :lol

Shit, we even paid to go see the movie Last Stand when it dropped because it was one of Schwarzenegger's first ones after his term :oldlol:

Yeah, this really was worse than I thought with the leftist bullshit. The Mexican character even has a line something like, "Try not to be so white." while trying to get through a Mexican market or some shit. I guess it was somewhat harmless but usually lines like that are comedic in tone and this was deadass.

Ultimately the problem with the Terminator series after the first sequel is that you can only rehash the same plot so many different ways. For me personally even though Terminator: Salvation failed, the reason in my mind that it's the best movie between T:3, T:Genysis, T: Dark Fate and itself is that it tried to separate itself from the same plot. Terminator(s) are sent in time to protect someone. Salvation had hope, but the script for the second half of the movie severely lacked. Bale has John Connor was fine, I didn't mind Worthington either...but Skynet consciousness was laughable and the ending was meh. Still better for me personally than everything after T:2.

Post T2 sequel main issues.

Rise of the Machines: Nick Stahl was an awful, distracting departure from Furlong's version. There was a cheap made-for-tv sheen to the whole production, too much levity, and a poor followup to the T-1000. Bitch was wack.

Salvation: Uninspired performances, didn't fit the version of the future that fascinated us, bland color grading palette..really just bland in all ways haha. We did not need Terminator eels lmao.

Genysis: Lol the whole thing just couldn't be taken seriously. The WORST recasting in film history, the most silly and convoluted writing ever for a time travel movie (which is quite the feat), John Connor mashed Skynet tech, blown.
Arnold coming out of the battle with a T-1000 arm? Blown.

There were a few things I liked about each but they all suck lol the bar was set impossibly high

Those Avatar sequels were much more expensive to make in terms of SFX but suffers from mediocre story. Terminator has obviously a better storyline & more interesting world building

Remember how the Terminator told John that no matter how hard he could try, he could never be human? Yep, totally ignores that in this film. Remember stopping judgement day? Nope again!
