Okay... New Terminator film.. I don't even know what to say, and I'm a long-time fan of the series, just look at all the Terminator reviews I've done on this very blog over the year..
Except, that it looks a bit bland, generic and unfinished?
Still, James Cameron is back producing and even more hands on the franchise than past installments and we even have Tim Miller (Deadpool 1) directing it.
They might call it yet another reboot, ignoring T3-Salvation-Genisys, but it a series based around time travel and rewriting history. Of course it never fits perfectly, but I still see this Terminator 6 coming off past films easily, both visually and thematically. It almost feels like another take on T3, with Genisys (gosh, I hate that title..) ideas. You even had the old aged-up "pop" Arnie T-800! Like taking Sarah Connor off the timeline in Genisys created this new split timeline where John Connor's not the necessary leader to save the future..! And the boring new evolved shapeshifting Terminator seems like a mix of the T-X (only it can split off the exoskeleton and liquid metal part) and the woman Terminator protecting them seems like a reverse Marcus (Salvation) or Connor Terminator (Genisys)...
Anyways, lore aside, it does look a bit bland, generic and unfinished... Same ol', same ol'.
Terminator: Dark Fate opens November 1.
