Action-Adventure Terminator: Dark Fate

[Zorro]

I hate the negative mindset of "better since T2 is not saying much". It's not but it's something and much better than "at least better 3, 4 or 5"

Man this film was a great ride. After being on the fence and having negative thoughts. Im glad they made this . As DarkVengeance said. The crew wanted to honour the Terminator canon and drive it into another direction and i honestly think they succeeded . After the constant tries after T2. They have finally delivered a solid film in the franchise. Some things worked and some things didn't but overall the positives out weigh the negatives. Some of the decisions they made will split audiences and have split critics already from what i have seen.

Im not really a indepth reviewer when it comes to films so hopefully i don't mouth on abit but i do recommend every terminator fan to see it. My general highlights without spoiling anything were Linda Hamilton (great to see her on the bigscreen again) Rev9 was relentless, his theme was great . Arnold showing why he is still got it ( Loved the chemistry between him and Sarah)Pacing didn't feel to bad and managed to keep you engaged in the quieter moments and finally Tim Miller for having the balls to take this on. I had a great time at the cinema and will see again when i get the time. Im a lifelong Terminator fan and its been a mountain to climb since T1 and T2 but Terminator dark fate sits behind but miles infront of T3, Salvation and Genisys.

Oh one thing i didn't like was the 3rd act. It played out like a transformers/marvel mashup but that seems to be the norm with blockbusters these days.

Meh, it's really not saying much. It still doesn't come close to the first two movies.

 

[Da-Scribe]

I don’t really need or expect this to match the first two films. I just want to enjoy it without having to make a million excuses for it.

I mean the prologue basically throws a grenade into the continuity, not surprising its polarizing. The reviews seem to reflect that. I mean it's 67% so it's not exactly Genisys levels here.

What is the final RT score for Genisys?

What is the final RT score for Genisys?

A whooping 27%.

Dark Fate's score went up a full 10% from yesterday. Could possibly end up at 70% which would be fine.

Think I'll catch this next Friday at some point. Just gotta rewatch the first two in the next week or so

Have not been sold based on the trailers but definitely curious.

The trailers really don't sell this film.

Because of the trailers I went in with lowered expectations and came out of the cinema pleasantly surprised.

The trailers don't appropriately convey the viciousness or intensity of the fantastic action set pieces in the movie. The first 25 minutes had me on the edge of my seat. That first trailer was a real dud and whoever cut it, and added in that boring indie music made a giant mistake.

I honestly can't wait to see it again.

If you guys are watching non spoiler reviews online, AVOID THE COMMENT SECTION OF THOSE REVIEWS! it's the best way to be spoiler free.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Yeah, I kind of already had the opening spoiled because of that. I guess that’s the issue of a big film being seen two weeks ahead of its wider opening.

 

[Lasirius]

That's really good to hear, I'll be watching it opening weekend.

Paramount contacted me and we are working together for some really awesome surprises regarding this film. If you're in the Washington DC/DMV area keep your eyes peeled for our announcement.

I'll post in here in addition to our social media pages.

What a pleasant surprise this was. Really enjoyed it! Couldnt breath during some of the action scenes. The best arnie has been in years also.

"The best Arnie has been in years". That's sweet music to my ears right there

Wow. Brutal.

He IS The Terminator!

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, I gotta say, I was surprised at how much the score went up since last I checked. Especially the average going up to 6.12.

It's also the most badass he's looked on the big screen in many years. His physicality really is of a Terminator in this one, compared to Genisys and not a 72 year old man. Dude is solid as a rock.

 

[Zorro]

So does Arnold actually have a big role or just mostly used in the 2nd or 3rd act?

2nd and 3rd

Ok I'm looking forward to this again with these recent posts. I have only one question: do they use the classic Terminator theme music?
