Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton star in Skydance Productions and Paramount Pictures’ “TERMINATOR: DARK FATE.”
By Marc Butterfield
What might have been an extraordinary movie died a dud. Terminator: Dark Fate collapsed under it’s own weight, after months of hype, and millions of dollars. Probably more than one career ended with this movie. I’m not being dramatic, that bomb had some stink on it.
Official Synopsis: More than two decades have passed since Sarah Connor prevented Judgment Day, changed the future, and re-wrote the fate of the human race. Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) is living a simple life in Mexico City with her brother (Diego Boneta) and father when a highly advanced and deadly new Terminator – a Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna) – travels back through time to hunt and kill her. Dani’s survival depends on her joining forces with two warriors: Grace (Mackenzie Davis), an enhanced super-soldier from the future, and a battle-hardened Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). As the Rev-9 ruthlessly destroys everything and everyone in its path on the hunt for Dani, the three are led to a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from Sarah’s past that may be their last best hope.
Don’t get me wrong, I liked it. I liked director Tim Miller’s film as an action movie, because it had some truly memorable scenes, and it had a great pace. I think if a couple of things were edited, it might even have done way better at the box office. Let’s be clear though; it probably wouldn’t have saved the movie, just made it a bit less of a failure.
The assumption that there was an appetite for one more sequel in a 35 year old franchise might have been a stretch. The story was played out, each one being about the survival of a one John Connor. The LAST sequel he was killed off and turned in to a robot duplicate, and one more time, Skynet was thwarted, this time destroyed (or again… I forget how many times this Company has been obliterated). Bluntly, that pissed off the fans. At the moment of supreme victory, JC was assimilated into Skynet, making the future uncertain. (again). Queue loudly screaming fans calling B.S. on this one.
And yet, what did Cameron learn? Apparently nothing. Read on, but beware, there are spoilers ahead, but the movie has been out long enough that anyone who wanted to see it has seen it, and everyone knows the twist. Within a couple of minutes of the movie, we are treated to a young John Connor (the movie takes place a few weeks after Terminator II: Judgment Day) going up to a bar to order himself and his mother some refreshments, Sarah smiling and feeling like for the first time in years, she and John can feel safe and know that they have their whole lives ahead of them, when a Terminator walks up and KILLS john. Shoots him dead. Bang. Having done the deed, the Terminator strolls away, it’s purpose fulfilled. I’m shocked that they didn’t have him whistling a happy tune. Sarah is devastated. BOOM!
Now, if you’re a fan of the franchise, you now know two things that made this movie a “thing” was that John had to be kept ALIVE, and the SKYNET was the bad A. I. sending Terminators to kill him, with Sarah being the badass dragon-mom being the only thing stopping a future where most of the population are dead, and the machines rule the planet, with nothing to do but upgrade themselves and kill human stragglers. This one scene made allllll of the other Terminator movies moot. We learn later that Skynet isn’t at the root of current termators, but rather “Legion” (because THAT name hasn’t been overused to death yet, right?). I won’t go on about too much of the rest of the movie, because honestly, I enjoyed it. The change of who must be saved, the way the robot join to be more effective, the tools used to destroy them…all of that was fun, inventive, and exciting.
Having Schwarzenegger’s Terminator now be an old dude who owns a interior decorating company added humor in an otherwise dead-serious movie, and was, well, in a word, ridiculous, but even that wasn’t as stupid as killing off Connor. Seriously, had they edited out the assassination of Connor scene, edited out “Legion” back to Skynet, and maybe had the sense to make Arnold’s bot into more of a “man without a cause after the fall of Skynet”, they at least wouldn’t have lost the fan base. Even the political message, which was there, but murky, wouldn’t have made a difference.
This isn’t the first franchise to die under the weight of a mountain of bad decisions, and I’m sure it’s not the last. But that James Cameron attached his name to this turkey is surprising. He gave this monster life, and it almost feels like he wanted to kill it once and for all.
Linda Hamilton, left, and Arnold Schwarzenegger star in Skydance Productions and Paramount Pictures’ “TERMINATOR: DARK FATE.”
A surprisingly uninspired rehash, TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is high on action but low on ambition. When Arnold Schwarzenegger finally shows up, this sixth installment briefly comes to life, but it’s too little too late. Aside from the (mostly) Arnold-free TERMINATOR SALAVATION in 2009, this is without a doubt the weakest entry in an otherwise fairly esteemed sci-fi franchise, TERMINATOR: DARK FATE opens with a brief prologue involving a de-aged Linda Hamilton and Ed Furlong before two new characters are introduced. The first is the lean and muscular Grace (played by Mackenzie Davis), who appears, as do all time travelers in this series, in an energy burst that drops her naked into the present. She’s traveled backwards to protect yet another future resistance leader named Dani Ramos (tiny Natalia Reyes) who resides in Mexico. Dani is being pursued, for the same reason Sarah Connor was in the first two installments, by a powerful shape-shifting cyborg known as a “Rev-9” who acts just like Robert Patrick in T2 except he’s Latino and played by Gabriel Lunas. Speaking of Ms Conner, Linda Hamilton shows up to join this duo , as eventually does Schwarzenneger.
If this all sounds familiar, it’s because it is. TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is completely lacking in new directions to take this franchise. The usual enjoyable time travel paradoxes are absent. The special effects and action scenes are the same that were so innovative 30-plus years ago but now seem ho-hum. The final showdown looks like it takes place at the same warehouse/factory that two or three of the other Terminator films have climaxed in. Worst of all, this badass female threesome that battle together throughout much of the film are bland. While it’s nice that Linda Hamilton is back for the first time in this series since T2 (they seem to be marketing the film around her appearance), she’s dreadful. Sarah shows up angry, spitting out every line of her dialog in the same annoyed tone and quickly becomes tiresome and unpleasant. Natalia Reyes makes little impression and Mackenzie Davis’ character seems like every tough female action hero since ALIENS thrown into a blender.
TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is energized at the 70 minute mark when Arnold finally shows up us ‘Carl the Drapery Installer’, who’s been hiding out in Texas with a wife and stepchild. The moment Arnold steps out of his front door he starts in with some hilarious dialog (when asked about the secret to his successful marriage, he deadpans “I’m a good listener. And extremely funny”) and there’s a sidesplitting scene where goes off on an angry monologue about one of his drapery customers (“She wanted a solid color for the baby room!”). Nobody will accuse of Arnold of being an actor with great range, but he sure knows how to deliver a line when he needs to and his belated presence just emphasizes what a trio of dullards the three women at the film’s center are. Unfortunately, after about 10 minutes of this, the film devolves back into a final half hour of generic action. There are bad sequels that still work as movies, and TERMINATOR: DARK FATE isn’t a complete waste of time, but fans of the series should keep their expectations low.

To say that I’ve been a HUGE fan of the series since day one is an understatement. The 1984 film was a sci-fi cult hit for a few years after it’s initial release and went mainstream when T2 was released the summer of 1991. The Terminator poster I have hanging in my home is one my most prized movie memorabilia and the movie is still one my go-to’s on a Friday night.
And a nod to those two films composer Brad Fiedel – his scores gave The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day the emotional heart and was a huge part of the success of the franchise.
Watch as writer/producer James Cameron, director Tim Miller and stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger talk about continuing the story from TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY.
