Dark Fate: 6.2
Genisys: 6.3
So yeah....
I finally finished Dark Fate after 4 or maybe 5 viewings (those Amazon free subscription trials are fun)...
Personally, I lost interest in the film after Linda Hamliton entered the screen.
Easily the weakest of the series, in my opinion anyway.
But at least I finished it.
I personally liked it. What parts let it down the most in your opinion?(other than the mere presence of Hamilton).
shareOther than Hamilton...nothing much.
She just reminded me of the new Lorraine Gary.
I don't know, I think the film was just void of "fun". It was colorless, boring and brought nothing new.
It wasn't interesting and I was disappointed.
I understand why people don't like it. I agree about it being colourless, it felt a bit flat and dull in the cinematography department.
But I thought some of the set pieces were really good.
Sounds about right. I really don't know why this movie was made, it was just so dumb, boring and had the standard "modern" lame action scenes. I get that they wanted to "reboot" the series, but this was so half-assed that it just wasn't worth doing, it's still the same plot of "terminator goes back in time to kill someone but someone else is sent back to protect them" again, despite killing John Connor and apparently having Skynet be destroyed, only for both to be replaced by no-name entities that it's too late in the franchise to introduce, especially when they have nothing new to offer. Like, if Skynet is going to be killed off, why can't the Terminators be something new and cool? Like I get that it's the Terminator franchise and people want to see skeletal robots, but I'd prefer it if the new genocidal AI was a little more original in coming up with new bad guys, the best they could come up with was the terminator from the first movie squeezed inside the terminator for the second.
It just ultimately felt like part of the hypocritical trend of "rebooting" older franchises by destroying everything in them, as if to say "Forget all that old, lame stuff, here's the NEW and cool story!" but then they remain so married to the iconic imagery and ideas of the original series, that they just end up a pale imitation that's a thousand times less interesting.
A disaster of a product.
shareI thought it was a terrible idea what they did at the beginning to John.
The mexican girl's acting was beyond terrible.
Beyond that I consider the movie to be watchable and slightly better than Genisys.
Every movie after the first 2 have been trash though.
