Trailer Time: Terminator - Dark Fate
I'll be honest, I have no idea what to make of this movie.
If this had been the third Terminator film, I think I would be fairly excited. But the every movie in this franchise since T2 has been sub-par to total disaster (although Terminator: Salvation does have some cool moments). So Terminator Part 6 doesn't have nearly as strong as shine on it as its predecessors.
It seems to hit all of the Terminator boxes:
-someone needs a protector to save the future
-that protector is outmatched by a more advanced death machine
-'splosions.
I also get a weird feeling based on the visuals that there is going to be a strong political allegory running through this film. Maybe I'm wrong. But if I'm not, this would disastrous.
Though it is nice to see Linda Hamilton and Arnold together again.
I don't know... does this franchise still have any legs?
I'm not saying it looks bad. It's just that they still need to sell me. When they cast Joaquim Phoenix as the Joker, I thought it was terrible casting. But that first teaser sold me 100%. I can still be persuaded on Terminator: Dark Fate, but they need to give me more.
Thoughts?
