terminator: dark fate *ing: Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, Diego Boneta
Rated: 5.5/10
When the first movie in the series had released back in 1984, it had caused a stir. The idea of machines — led by Artificial Intelligence, Skynet — taking over humans and destroying them and humans trying to fight back was an intriguing concept. From there on the machines that landed on Earth only became more advance. From the T-1000 to T-X to T-800 to T-3000 to T-800 Model 101 in Terminator Genisys (2015), the terminators have only become more advanced, just keep coming at the protagonist with the mission to destroy and refuses to die till the very end.
Terminator: Dark Fate is the sixth installment of the franchise and a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day directed by Tim Miller. This means that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton are back. Sadly, both look old even though they are ready to take on the world — present and the future. Here it is Rev-9.
Here in lies the problem with this film. While the machine is able to do so much more; it can separate itself from the host and go for dual attack, the fact that it refuses to die, means that the entire film is on a repeat. You slow it down and run, it catches up and you do the whole thing all over again. This is tedious to watch.
When it is time to end things, everything falls in place and the human race is saved once again.
