Hey, I Liked Genisys, Okay?
All of its ideas and story were really great, Khaleesi is just not a believable action hero and Jai Courtney is the cinematic equivalent of a bran muffin. 70s’ Arnold holding an RPG was worth the ticket price, or that’s what I tell myself.
Anyways this franchise might be finally showing a faint sign of life.
Dr. Maturin’s Debauched Sloth may have his prayers answered.
Though it opens wide November 1, early reviews for Terminator: Dark Fate are out and some are really positive.
Variety:
Dark Fate is a lean, tough, and absorbing sequel that taps back into the enthralling surface of the Terminator series.
The Wrap:
What the film handsomely mines from the first two episodes, however, is the simple yet apparently elusive combination of kinetic momentum and emotional empathy.
LA Times:
Dark Fate is the best Terminator sequel in over 20 years.
All of this praise has so far blessed Dark Fate with a 67% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, which summarized the quality of the movie as follows:
Most of the reviews out are from professional critics or influencers, so take that how you will.
Maybe it’s a coordinated effort to trick everyone into seeing another terrible Terminator sequel, but probably not.
A Good Terminator Sequel?
Why this changes… everything.
Maybe the bar is so low at this point it could be hard to not made a good Terminator movie? It doesn’t hurt that Linda Hamilton is still presentable and not falling apart like other actors her age.
Is there a chance here? Or am I lying to myself?
