Action-Adventure Terminator: Dark Fate

[Deck Rickard]

I have no idea. Looks like some kind of Terminator with tentacles lol.

I guess they told everyone in that featurette that they needed to curse like sailors to sell this thing

This felt better than the trailer. Stil not sold on the actual Terminator, but everyone else looks good.

That’s genuinely just how Miller talks.

 

[dark_b]

I think I saw this shot in Endgame, Wonder Woman, BvS and and probably in a few other forgettable movies of the past 5 years.

cgi fire looks NOTHING like real fire.

 

[dark_b]

Shut up, JC. Nobody believes you anymore.

2015 and 2019

 

[FunkMiller]

Jesus Christ. Did they learn nothing from the last three awful Terminator movies?

Bigger explosions do not a good Terminator movie make. It’s just more of the same old bull****.

They should have gone smaller, darker, nastier and more adult with this movie.

You know... like The Terminator.

Instead, it looks like just another big, stupid rollercoaster bang fest.

Dull.

 

[OutOfBoose]

It doesn't matter how big or small a movie is. If it's by a mediocre director.

 

[-JKR-]

And Tim Miller doesn't strike me as a mediocre director based on his feature debut. He has a good eye for visuals, pacing, story and character... while keeping it grounded.

 

[OutOfBoose]

It only says that even better CBMs are mediocre in comparison to classics like T1 and T2.

 

[StarLord]

 

[Zorro]

It's never going to be on T1 or T2's level again and so I'll take a decent action packed popcorn movie

 

[Zantera]

I don't think you could replicate T2 even if you tried because the way it blends action and horror is something we don't get in movies these days. I don't think even Cameron himself could do it. You could get someone to do either element great, like if someone like George Miller directed I'm sure the action would be fantastic but what makes T2 one of the best movies ever for me is the blending of action, horror and also interesting philosophical questions especially surrounding Arnold and how "human" a terminator can become and so on.

T1 is also a classic ofc, for me T2 is a 10/10 and T1 probably more 9/10, still groundbreaking and top notch. I think making another Terminator movie in the spirit of T1 would be easier than T2. You don't even need crazy budget to do it, but I guess that's out the door with Terminator movies now. Even though a low budget Terminator movie could be fantastic, I think new movies in the franchise will forever be 150-200 million dollar budget movies.

The featurette was cool, but I have a ways to go to be convinced. T1 is still the best by leaps and bounds...going to be hard to get there. I don't expect it to do that, but I'd like to believe in it out the gate. Instead, I see that Terminator, and I just...get sad. Still, I'll wait until some reviews or some more trailers.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Anyway you slice it, "aging Terminators" is just a stupid concept. Yeah, I know they have human tissue but come on. They're still ****ing robots and if Skynet or whatever is advanced enough to build machines that can perfectly mimic humans, you'd have to believe that they'd have also found a way to keep the tissue from aging.

That said... I did like the featurette and I'm glad that Arnold is back in a capacity that will hopefully be better than his campy joke of a character in Terminator: Genysh**. And Mackenzie and Linda look badass. Not sure about Diego Luna... is he a good actor? I've never seen him in anything (not even the promise of Ghost Rider could get me to watch Agents of B.O.R.E.D.) but he looks kinda dull here. I know it's a fine line trying to play an emotionless robot, but Robert Patrick and Arnold managed to give their characters some intensity without coming off silly. He just looks flat.

''Hi, we're Skynet. Judgement day will be here shortly, but in the meantime, we've totally come up with the ultimate anti-wrinkle cream. Check it out!''

 

[Deck Rickard]

Diego Luna?

LOL I meant Gabriel Luna. Oops.

 

[I Am The Knight]

First Halle Berry is the new Little Mermaid and now this

 

[Deck Rickard]

I know I can't wait to see Halle Berry as the Little Mermaid.

Wouldn't perfectly mimicking humans encompass aging as well?

 

[dark_b]

it makes no sense trying to explain an aged terminator when Cameron in 2015 said that he is aging because they wanted Arnold back. thats the only reason.

 

[Zantera]

I can see cases for both sides (it making sense/not making sense), personally I can buy that Arnold is aging because a T800 has the layer of human tissue on the outside and I think its somewhat plausible in order to "blend in" and appear more human that the skin itself could get older and so on.

For other terminators like the T1000 I wouldn't buy it though because if it's liquid metal that assumes the look of someone then that "image" would remain the same.

 

[Zorro]

I think it makes sense in that way. Either way though, this may be Arnold's last film in the franchise and so he should go out with a bang in a good way

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

He already went out in a bang in T2, how can you beat the thumb up lava scene ?
At best, I think it will be "well, it wasn't as bad as Genysis/T3/Salvation".
I will, of course, see the sucker in theater

 

[Zorro]

Well yeah of course but he can still have a good performance. T2 should have been the last Terminator film but it wasn't and I would have hated if Genysis was the last film in the franchise or at least Arnold's last appearance
