Who would have thought that thirty-five years would pass since the original blockbuster science-fiction film "The Terminator" (1984) and that we would be watching a reboot of the Terminator franchise? "Terminator: Dark Fate" (2019) conjoins alongside "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991) and thus leapfrogs across the timeline to the present with what we see here with "Dark Fate".
This latest edition to the extended family is a fair attempt to travel into the future and project a whole new angle on a fresh face of cinema goers. This is new-generation progressiveness to both enhance and perpetuate the "Terminator" franchise and it has done a fine job for the millennials' to enjoy and consume. The future here is bright and no doubt shall be very reproductive.
This new addition comes out screaming and shouting great effects and action, with an all-female lead that brings this triplet baby shower to a wonderful level of liberated vigilantes. We see Linda Hamilton reprising her role as "Sarah Connor", who brings an edge of maturity and guidance to the proceedings, that only a touch of tough-love can bring. While we have the irrepressible Mackenzie Davis, as "Grace", providing strength and determination to assist the survival of the youthful and inexperienced Natalia Reyes who plays "Dani Ramos". Three generations of ladies playing their irrespective roles in the hierarchy of knowledge and experience makes a fine combination and drives the adventure to new heights with each player serving one inevitable goal of a global responsibility.
Theoretically a road movie that plays as a high-octane survival trip combining superb fist-fights, vehicle destruction and every inch not being wasted in the visual theatrics. The only bugbear here is that without these visual sweeteners there really is not much left to ponder within the context of the whole. It simply is that, a road movie of great expectations but it can seem a little too convoluted in parts when all else has been proven, said and done that it feels it does little else but hold its breath when having something to say. Nonetheless "Dark Fate" is a weighty attribute within the Terminator family and with each passing addition we look forward to seeing how this partner shall grow and develop.
