In Terminator: Dark Fate, Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger shine in a return to form for the franchise, delivering exciting R-rated action. Read more

It has the astounding cast, a well-executed agenda, and an aim which Dark Fate never misses – not even once. Read more

Terminator: Dark Fate takes one step forward and two steps back. It's better than the last two entries by a wide margin, but still struggles branching out from being just another carbon copy of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Director Tim Miller brings the action goods and the return of Sarah Connor, but struggles rising above the messy writing. Read more

Despite these, admittedly somewhat major flaws, Dark Fate is easily the best Terminator sequel since Judgement Day. While it never reaches the dizzying heights of the first two films, it offers a fairly satisfying conclusion to the series and feels like it belongs in the same discussion – best viewed as part of a trilogy.

It’s not bloody Shakespeare, but I found it – warts and all – an enjoyable night out at the movies. Read more

But even with all this surface level fun, the film’s secret weapon is a script from David S. Goyer, Justin Rhodes and Billy Ray that’s heady enough to wonder if they got an early look at Rambo: Last Blood and thought a 2019 franchise revival that wasn’t offensively tone deaf might be nice.

Dark Fate is another Terminator sequel...for better and worse. Read more

The action hits in all the right places and is incredibly well choreographed, but the plot around it is at times threadbare, and at others a rehash of what we have seen before. Read more

Tim Miller’s film is an underwhelming, unimaginative, and formulaic but serviceable sequel in a franchise that has been run into the ground and might as well be terminated. Read more

2019-11-04

While the film built up a lot of good faith in bringing talent back from the first two installments, Terminator: Dark Fate is just another recent Terminator movie. It’s watchable but nothing about this film is going to resonate with anyone beyond the movie theater’s exit sign. Read more

Reality echoes the plot of the film, as the more technologically advanced the Terminator the less chance humanity has a chance of emerging in the end. As with all Terminator films, humanity wins the day, at least until the inevitable sequel, spinoff, or reboot, where we can dance the same dance one more time. Read more

As Godard said, all you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun. When the gun is being wielded by a killer cyborg from the future, surely it shouldn't be as dull as Terminator: Dark Fate? Read more

Dark Fate isn’t the worst of the Terminator films but it’s by far the most depressing. Read more

Unlike in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, this sixth entry doesn’t even possess a single set piece worthy of revisiting. And when a Terminator film doesn’t have awe-inspiring action, it really doesn’t have anything at all. Read more

Terminator: Dark Fate blijft de beste sequel op Terminator 2 tot hiertoe en dat komt volledig door de R-rated actie en vooral dankzij de reünie tussen Arnold Schwarzenegger en Linda Hamilton. De film haalt misschien niet het niveau van de eerste twee, maar werkt wel als afsluiter van die trilogie.

Dark Fate blijft zeker overeind als een vermakelijke sci-fi actiefilm waarbij de terugkeer van oudgedienden Linda Hamilton en Arnold Schwarzenegger op waarde wordt geschat. Read more

Terminator: Dark Fate is wellicht de beste Terminator-film sinds het meesterwerk Terminator 2: Judgement Day, maar toch komt ook dit vervolg nergens ook maar in de buurt van zijn inmiddels legendarisch geworden voorgangers. Read more

Terminator-franchise is (voor de laatste keer?) terug met Dark Fate, maar geef ons toch maar de originele Terminator-films. Read more

Terminator: Dark Fate mag zich bestempelen als de beste film in de franchise sinds T2. Al is dit geen compliment van hoog niveau, gezien de kwaliteit van de andere vervolgen. Read more

Helaas is ook het plot slechts een fantasieloze remix van bekende elementen uit Camerons films. Het is leuk om Hamilton en Schwarzenegger terug te zien in hun oude rollen en ook de cyborg Grace is een welkome toevoeging, maar het is niet genoeg om Terminator: Dark Fate van de ondergang te redden.

Het verhaal is helaas te zwak en ook niet alle actiescènes maken indruk. Read more

De film is zielloos en totaal niet spannend.
