silentbob Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I don’t know what to say. Looks like a Terminator movie Quote
legend Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah I dunno. Nothing in the trailer to inspire hope that they have something to say. T2 sought to make you care for a killing machine, and succeeded. This looks like more member berries. Quote
Guest Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Tim Miller was literally crying on stage talking about making this movie during his Cinemacon presentation. I’m at least glad it’s being made by somebody who cares. Quote
CitizenVectron Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 They deserve credit for being able to re-release the same plot 4 or 5 movies in a row. Why can't they just scale back the set pieces and make an actual reboot with a different (and less crazy) machine hunting someone new. Make it cyber horror again. Quote
elbobo Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Looks like the badguy terminator is an evolution of the T3 one. Nanobots over an endoskeleton. Quote
Greatoneshere Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 We'll see. I'm pretty skeptical, though James Cameron's and Tim Miller's involvement help. It's a direct sequel to The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, ignoring the rest of the films in terms of canon, so that should help it some maybe? Quote

It has some truly dated and stupid moments, but overall the story goes in the only logical places it can go, and the movie had the balls to do the only ending it could given it was a refutation of Terminator 2's ethos. It's got some good and fun action scenes, a lot of practical effects, etc. If Dark Fate is even as good as Terminator 3 I'd take that as a win at this point. But I enjoy Terminator: Salvation so I know I'm in the minority on this. Maybe it's because I'm okay with movies in a franchise being just "good enough" rather than having to meet the quality of its best entry (in this case, Terminator 2) every time a new one comes out. A lot of franchises don't even get "good enough" in later films (see Terminator itself with Terminator: Genysis). 1 Quote
Mercury33 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I thought that looked pretty dope. The only thing I didn’t like is that the bad Terminator looks more like an IT specialist which kinda takes me out of it lol 2 Quote
EternallDarkness Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 well that trailer did nothing to get me excited about the movie, though I am sure I'll still go see it Quote
Dre801 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I hope it's good, but I was somewhat underwhelmed. Quote
TwinIon Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 This franchise should never have continued after T2. That said, Mackenzie Davis is great, having Linda Hamilton back is awesome, and Tim Miller directing gives me some hope. Still, this is one of those franchises that I feel like a really talented cast and crew still can't save. Tell me those folks are making a new action movie and I'm hyped to hell and back. Make it a Terminator film and I'm less than convinced. Quote

Spork3245 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 So... where does this fall in the timeline with the other movies? Quote
Brick Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 That doesn't look half bad. I'll keep an open mind. Quote

Reputator Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I kind of expected Dwayne Johnson to be the new badguy Terminator. Guess I had no reason to, though. Quote

I have no idea how this information ties in... but Brett Azar is a bodybuilder who was the body stand in for the T-800 in Genisys (they CGI put Arnold's face on him) and he is in Dark Fate as well in the same role. So I don't know if Genisys is part of the history (future?) of this movie or not, but I'm pretty sure we will be seeing the old (young) version of Arnold. Quote

It's been said multiple times that Dark Fate only takes Terminator and Terminator 2 into account. The rest is just homage or inspiration, but not canon. Quote

GeneticBlueprint Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 It looks... good? Definitely not amazing. But it's not offending me as a huge Terminator fan. Quote

Now he’s doing RoboCop which I think is taking place after the 2nd movie and ignoring the 3rd movie and made for TV movies that were in the same time frame Quote

Same. I saw it in theaters and enjoyed it. In fact the only one I really didn't like was Salvation. My comment was mainly for all the haters who don't like T3. Quote
Dre801 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I never made it all the way through Salvation. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to watch at the time. Quote
