We all know that T2: Judgment Day is when the Terminator movie franchise peaked. Everything after that has been garbage. The franchise hit an all-time low with Genisys. That movie pissed me off so bad. It was STUPID. So I was not the least bit pressed when they came out with Dark Fate. I had no interest in seeing it.
One day, I was sitting around with nothing to do and decided to watch a movie from one of my user-friendly movie websites. Dark Fate popped up and I said, “Fuck it…it’s free. Might as well kill some time.” The only thing in the movie that had my attention was this cutie…
...and we DID NOT get an obligatory Terminator ass shot like we usually do. Trust me, I looked.
Basically, Dark Fate is a discount T2 with women protagonists and lackluster writing. I did not buy the central protagonist as a revolutionary military leader and the movie made no effort to convince me otherwise. And apparently, Terminators have reached an evolutionary dead end. Being able to split into two parts just wasn’t that impressive and it felt like it should have been. Maybe if they hadn’t put that in the trailer…
Anyway, that’s all I have to say about Dark Fate. Everything you need to know about the movie, you saw it in the trailer. While it wasn’t nearly as shitty as Genisys, they could have kept this one. Grade: D
