Over two decades after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a new killing machine called the Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna) is sent from the future in order to terminate Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes). An enhanced cyborg human (Mackenzie Davis), Sarah Connor, and another unlikely ally come to her aid in a new fight for the future.
James Cameron returns to the franchise for the first time in 27 years to develop the story for this direct sequel to Terminator 2. Linda Hamilton returns as well to finally reprise Sarah Connor. Arnold is always back. 🕶
Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor.
Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 Model 101.
Natalia Reyes as Dani Ramos.
Mackenzie Davis as Grace.
Gabriel Luna as the Rev-9.
Diego Boneta as Dani's brother Miguel.
Which Terminator movies should I have seen before this one?
Only Terminator 1 and Terminator 2. (Terminator 1 is free on youtube right now)
What about the other sequels? How do they fit into the timeline? Should I see Terminators 3/4/5/SCC?
No. Those are not in this continuity and had no story involvement from Cameron. Jim Cameron calls those sequels a bad dream or an alternate timeline, whatever pleases you. They're not relevant. Dark Fate is effectively the new Terminator 3. No fate but what Jim and Tim make.
Why does Arnold's T-800 look aged?
A T-800 infiltrator is a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Flesh, skin, hair, blood, grown for the cyborg. Sweat, bad breath, everything.
It's basically legitimate human meat on top. The skin ages, given time.
What's the deal with this new terminator model?The Rev-9 (presumably short for Revision 9, and a reference to Revelation 9) is a machine that utilizes both an endoskeleton and liquid metal simultaneously. These components can split into two figures and operate separately. One pure liquid metal (like a T1000), the other a bare endoskeleton.
But what happened with August 29th 1997? No bombs?
Terminator 2 happened: "She intends to change the future." "The future, always so clear to me, has become like a black highway at night. We were in uncharted territory now... making up history as we went along." "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." "The unknown future rolls toward us."
Where is John Connor?
He took off on his bike this morning. There was a guy here looking for him too. Big guy on a bike.
Was Terminator Genisys a renaissance?
Were anyone's lights trashed? Did anyone go ahdadada like this in the background?
Ken Seng is a nice guy, no problemo.
