So What's The Story?

22 years after the events of "judgment day," a terminator from the future is sent to kill a young girl named Dani Ramos who is said to lead the uprising against the organization called "Legion." However, an enhanced human named Grace is sent from the future to protect Dani. Soon when all seems hopeless on the highway, Sarah Conner joins the team. Together they must decide to keep running from this bloodthirsty machine or to face it with all the firepower they have.

Is It Worth Your While?

I have not yet seen the previous Terminator films, so this was all pretty new to me, but that does not mean that I won't review this fun, dumb and highly explosive blockbuster. First of all, we have the directing by Tim Miller director of Deadpool (no score yet). I thought that the action sequences were probably one of the best things about the film, and dang were they directed nicely. Plus, the director had a lot of good stuff to work with such as a dedicated cast and epic special effects. Next, I thought that the special effects were satisfying and fun at the same time. Nonetheless, I still felt like the film was restraining itself from its full potential. Third, I thought that the script and story were fun but also predictable and generic. I was expecting some bigger themes that it was trying to produce. However, no one can deny its awesome one-punch lines. Overall, Terminator: Dark Fate has excellent directing, fun special effects but a story that met below expectations for me.

How Was The Cast?

The cast in Terminator: Dark Fate was committed and ready to go in the film. First, we have Mackenzie Davis as Grace. I thought that she successfully pulled off being an enhanced human with emotion and the ability to work well with the cast. Next, we have Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner. She was the real star of the film. Providing nothing but sheer power, intense emotion and bringing to life the role of one of the strongest female characters of the 20th century. Third, we have Natalia Reyes as Dani Ramos. She seemed more like the noob of the movie but the other cast members seemed to work well with her so it wasn't a total loss. Fourth and finally, we have Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator. He was hilarious and perfect for the role of the Terminator as he always has been.

Aging 'Legion'

Terminator: Dark Fate has explosions, gunfire, and death. The bad Terminator stabs multiple people throughout the film. Some intense and dark themes are hard to understand. There is a whole lot of swearing and just a ton of violence. Overall I recommend this film for teens and up.
