This needs a sequel
I just watched this for at least the fifth time. I don't know why. But I like it. 3rd best terminator by a country mile. Legion and Sarah and Dani. Potential.
shareNext terminator will operate a churro stand.

You sad pathtic winker.
I should Ignore you right now for being anti-John Connor. Which you are by loving this.
Cool. Ignore me. Anti John Connor? I get why you think that but still. Move on. John Connor is played out. Same people, ie you, are the same people who would be complaining about another JC story. Give me a break.
shareIt sucked ass.
shareWhy did it suck?
shareCorrect me if I'm wrong, but in the original, they were only able to send one Terminator back and Kyle Reese because the resistance destroyed the time travel device after Reese goes back.
In T2, the future is altered because of the hand left at the end of the original, but I assumed a similar scenario existed for the two Terminators coming back (time travel device was destroyed).
Now in this film, we learn that Skynet was able to send back a slew of Terminators when the T-1000 was sent back. So why didn't they just send the T-1000 with 5 or 6 T-800s all at once to get John and Sarah? Lol. Why scatter them over different times?
So lame….
Well in this movie Dark fate. It isn't Skynet. Skynet has been stopped. It's Legion . So we know nothing about that future and why or how they get back.
shareBut the T-800s and T-1000 were sent from the Skynet timeline. My complaint is still valid.
shareThen your complaint is with T2.
shareNo. In the original T2, only one T-800 and one T-1000 were sent back from the Skynet timeline to 1994.
This movie changes that T2 storypoint to now say multiple Terminators were sent back from the Skynet timeline to different times in the past. This movie made that change.
Ahh yeah I get ya. But I mean if we start getting into the Nitty gritty of it, time traveling robots is a dumb as way to win a future war. But it's a fun idea. Boring if you just send back a thousand terminators at once.
shareTHATS DEEP LOGIC THINKING FOR AN ACTION SCI FI FILM STARRING SCHWARZENEGGER...DARK FATE WAS ENJOYABLE AND THE THIRD BEST TERMINATOR FLICK...I AGREE WITH THE OP.🙂
shareIt would be the third best Terminator if there were only three films in the franchise. As it stands, I'll put it at #5. I guess to its credit it's not dead last, but that doesn't make it good. It just makes it a little less terrible than Genisys.
There are two great movies, two OK ones, and two shitty ones. And broadly speaking, the series gets progressively worse as it goes forward.
I dunno why I like it so much. Same with the new predator movie. Everyone hated that, I loved it.
shareThe new Predator is half of a good film. I enjoyed it up until the Super Predator shows up. Up until that point it actually was a relatively fun, creative film. After the midway point though, all the air gets sucked out of the film and it turns very boring. It's almost like a different writer and director took over.
shareME TOO...THE PREDATOR WS AWESOME...EXCEPT THE PREDATOR BUSTER ARMOR CRAP AT THE END.
shareI dunno. I even liked that schtick at the end.
share🙂 UNFORTUNATELY...WE PROBABLY NEVER GET THE SEQUEL THAT WOULD ILLUSTRATE WETHER THE PREDATOR BUSTER ANGLE WOULD HAVE WORKED OR NOT.
shareYeah I know. I feel bad for Shane black. The cunt has skills. But just can't get a box office win to save his life. The nice guys was like top 5 movies of the past decade IMO, but no-one saw it.
