Terminator Dark Fate

SCORE: 34

Terminator Dark Fate is definitely very dark. Early on John Connor is murdered by a Terminator. Sarah Connor goes on a quest to kill every single Terminator she can. She gets help from an unlikely source. This source gives her coordinates of when and where Terminators will appear from the timeline. I am a bit baffled as to why they would keep coming after John Connor had been terminated as a young man. What is the point?

Terminator Dark Fate feels like a passing of the torch. Skynet is gone and replaced with Legion. Dani Ramos is the new leader that inspired humanity to stand up and fight against new machines. The new Terminators are called REV-9. They have a liquid body that can separate from the metal skeleton. The two can then attack separately making them much more lethal than the T-800’s ever were. We also get Grace who is an enhanced human.

The issues families can have with Terminator Dark Fate are violence, blood, death, nudity, enticement to lust, bad language, and more. Terminator Dark Fate shows a darker and more dim view of the future than ever before. It is interesting that all these years later we still have not reached the gloom and doom the franchise has constantly told us would happen. Sure we have Chinese spies infiltration of Democrats, and lack of trust in the election process. We don’t have massive machines murdering all of us.

If the Terminator franchise continues I expect the new younger actors and actresses to take up the mantle. The T-800 future no longer exists. That timeline has been in essence eradicated. This new darker future now exists and is where I assume the franchise will go in the future. SPOILER ALERT! At the very end of Terminator Dark Fate Sarah and Dani go off to train Dani to become the hero she needs to be.

SPOILER ALERT! A Terminator growing a conscious does not make much sense to me. That is not part of his programming. This is not really explained very well in Terminator Dark Fate. It is also strange he was able to easily kill John Connor with no resistance. Why didn’t the humans send someone to save him that time? They did all of the other times. Terminator Dark Fate has some obvious plot convenience moments.
