1/6/2023 0 Comments Terminator biting the bullet![]() ![]() ![]() “Dark Fate” reimagines the idea of the Terminator by placing him in the employ of not Skynet, but yet another computerized artificial intelligence who is attempting to wipe out a soon-to-be rogue warrior in a not so distant future where mankind is replaced by robots. #Terminator biting the bullet movieWhat you need to know about this movie is that it’s not about John Conner, not about Skynet, and not about the world that filled every other movie past “ Terminator 2: Judgement Day” with a rehashing of a tired plot that played on the original’s story and legend. The film also creates a world – and characters – that lends to easy likability, is fleshed out well, and manages to do something “Terminator 3,” “Terminator: Salvation,” and “Terminator: Genisys” failed to accomplish: it makes us care about its characters again. While “Dark Fate” brings back “Terminator” writer James Cameron and re-unites him with Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, what works about the film is that it creates a world of its own – a seemingly darker fate for its characters to fall victim to, and plants these iconic characters into a world they both understand and don’t. “Terminator: Dark Fate,” playing with the franchise’s past and future, and with a more morose tone than previous iterations, is a fine movie that blends what made parts 1 and 2 so successful with a theme that could have launched the movie as a standalone with almost the same effect. ![]()
