Looks like mildly diverting nonsense. Only T1 has ever been more than that.

It looks like fantastically enjoyable nonsense, which tbh is all a Terminator film needs to be.

Could have sworn there was a full on dark fate thread here discussing this since it’s announcement. Clearly not.
Anyway..... sounds like cameron’s producing Involvement is just hype. Apparently never even visited the set.

Will watch it out of curiosity but as I've said many times, only the first 2 films and the telly series is canon, in my book.

Yeah looks a bit lame. Hard to improve on the first two anyway.
I tried to watch some of the others they did since then by they are so awful I gave up every time.

Crap title anyway. Dark fate? Why not just call it Terminator: On The Nose.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Looks awful.

Wait, there’s a telly series and more than two films? Fuck me.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Sarah Connor Chronicles was good, better than Geniysys I'd say. Ended too soon.
And the other two disappointing ones. It was just finding its feet I felt.

SCC brilliantly dismissed the 3rd Terminator film, as well. Could easily have done with another season or 2.
There was an extended trailer showing for this when we went to see new Joker film. Showed so much I couldn’t help but think they’ve showed every action scene the film has.
Anyway, it’s supposed to follow the story in from T2 (I think) ignoring the other films so may be ok.

That's what SCC does, more or less.

The theme music is really crap too.

Watched this tonight. It’s actually pretty good and as the reviews have it, it is the best Terminator movie since the second one. Admittedly that’s not saying much as the previous three films were crap and it isn’t as good as the first two films. It was a good choice to ignore the last three movies and make this a direct sequel to T2.
The biggest problem with this movie is, that it follows the formula of the first two movies too closely, even if it does throw in a few twists. The second problem is that the new "bad" Terminator is no more than a bit of an upgrade from T2. Its best qualities are that it remembers that this was always Sarah Connor‘s story and it has its heart in the right place. That may also be why it flopped because otherwise it’s a better blockbuster than most right now. I’ve read up on a few forum posts and the incel crowd ain’t to happy with this having three kick ass female leads. It can also be seen as a bit of a fuck you to Trump, by having the new Sarah Connor-style character, who gets to save the world, be a Mexican.
Arnie only enters the movie half way in but once he does, he is a lot of fun. Mackenzie Davies plays the lead character here as a cyborg from the future and she is great. Been a fan of hers since her breakout role in the drama series Catch and Halt Fire. It’s good to see Linda Hamilton back after a woefully miscast Emilia Clarke in the dreadful Terminator Gynysys and she appears to be the rare Hollywood actress of her age untouched by the surgeons knife. She looks great, is as kick-ass as ever and it made me aware how rarely we get to see female lead actors in their 60s, without totally smooth skin in American films.

Watched it tonight, enjoyed it but it's a pretty bad film. Like a worse version of Terminator 3, if that's anything to go by.

how does a robot grow a beard?
He's covered in flesh.

so does it grow 'naturally' or does he have to will it into growing? i have a feeling that Dark Fate does not explore such avenues
