Linda Hamilton sounds drunk in every scene they show her in.
I'm not saying that to be a dick to her or people with drinking problems (or god forbid, make light of a serious issue she may have if she actually maybe has a drinking problem). It's just something my ears kept picking up whenever she spoke.
It was jarring.
No, this one does ignore the sequels. It's a direct sequel to T1 and T2 ignoring everything else:
It's not too late!im starting to think it was a mistake not having watched 3, salv, and genicyst. because now even if this one is a step up from those the only thing i'll have to compare it to is the first 2
Yep, feels like I traveled back in time.
How so?Arnie and Linda were on the Graham Norton Show last night and I could tell they both know it's no better than any other post-T2 effort.
Heh, was just thinking the same thing. I mean, if the movie sucks, at least some cool posters are out of it.I betcha these posters will be better than the actual film....
It's the best of them overall, and does bring Yoji Shinkawa to mind as others have said.
Ok just watched this trailer and Linda Hamilton's lines are aaaawwwwful. Holy shit. Did she completely forget how to act?
Also why the FUCK is the "most lethal terminator ever" spewing corny ass shit like "my whole body's a weapon" and calling people "brother"? Are you serious? Dude should have minimal dialogue in the movie. That line shouldn't even exist.
There is simply no way this is going to be anything but garbage and it pisses me off.
One of the first things I noticed was how bad her acting is in the clips shown so far, a far cry from T1 & T2.Ok just watched this trailer and Linda Hamilton's lines are aaaawwwwful. Holy shit. Did she completely forget how to act?

Probably not, they just think it's nonsense when you describe it which it is, like most blockbuster plot.
If you do not need continuity then who cares? Good movies should be able to stand alone without all the baggage of prior movies.When a franchise keeps changing up casts or events that means the only through line in it all is Arnold that's a problem. Judgement Day happened in T3, then it didn't. Nothing in this series carries weight so what's the point in investing
Except it's the same characters and the only reason you get rebooted stories is because each successive movie after T3 has been shit and nobody wants to follow upIf you do not need continuity then who cares? Good movies should be able to stand alone without all the baggage of prior movies.
Driven by no strong idea but by the same mechanisms repeated ad nauseam by the franchise for forty years, DARK FATE relies on what preceded it without ever trying to transcend its leg or bring any novelty - if not impulses post-modern goguenards seeming out of a Marvel production: in 2019, Sarah Connor, still camped by an excellent Linda Hamilton, swings the floodgates. And if DARK FATE apostrophes the era by mentioning its political-migratory context, cyberwarfare and all-surveillance, these themes are only cosmetic, without any impact on dramaturgy.
Little helped by this indefinable writing, DARK FATE even struggles to catch up on the show: cut and staged without invention by Tim Miller, handicapped by uneven visual effects, this TERMINATOR follows fights and action scenes unmisiting ever with what any current blockbuster lambda can offer. An extremely standardized nature that buries it, as the film seems even unable to shift TERMINATOR 2 with the same spirit as TERMINATOR 3 or propose any new image as RENAISSANCE did. A shipwreck? Not quite: Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers a few moments of great melancholy, distant but touching echoes of TERMINATOR 2. Above all, if this DARK FATE does not collapse on itself after a few sequences, it owes it entirely to Mackenzie Davis, the formidable actress who, in the role of Grace, delivers a captivating performance from start to finish, in action as in emotion. A heroine as we see few, camped by one of the most interesting contemporary actresses. DARK FATE does not deserve either.
Well Cinemateaser (French film rag) just posted their review and gave it 2 stars.
Here is the rough translation:

After several missteps, the Terminator franchise is finally back in track and it feels great ! Dark Fate is by far the best entry since T2 and we finally have a "real" Terminator 3. Even if the movie isn't a technical marvel as Terminator 2 was when it came out, showing the limits of Tim Millers capabilities as a director, the story, the cast and the innovations finally gives us something we dreamed for 30 years : A sequel to Terminator 2 that does not shame its illustrious predecessor and resurrect in the best way a franchise we thought dead.
Sure! Feel free to create it.Filmsactu gave it a 8/10.
With reviews coming out, maybe it's time for a review thread ?
