Customer Ratings & Reviews

Terminator: Dark Fate is by no means a stellar movie - nothing will ever touch the original Terminator or Judgement Day. This new movie does a lot of stupid things with the storyline, but Arnold turns in another great, even unexpectedly hilarious, performance. Linda Hamilton does a great job of portraying an even more world-weary, psychologically unsound Sarah Connor. With all the lackluster sequels that have come out over the years, Dark Fate is at least worth the watch, even if it is mainly to see Hamilton and Schwarzenegger back on screen together.

Packed with action and great performances from returning stalwarts Linda Hamilton and Schwarzenegger and newcomers Mackenzie Davis and Gabriel Luna, Terminator: Dark Fate tries to add purpose to a franchise on life support. Either too much too late or too little too late, fans are decidedly split on the results for this possible final bow from the series. Sagging box office aside, Paramount delivers one hell of a beautiful 4K UHD Blu-ray presentation with a rocking robust Dolby Atmos audio track and a practically pristine native 4K Dolby Vision transfer.

First off let’s clarify that James Cameron was bunting heads with the director in terms of the creative process which is why it didn’t really appeal to many Terminator fans. Overall it accomplishes being a good CGI action movie but in terms of story, they dropped the ball on this one. Nice video and audio quality for those with high end home theaters though. Beautiful Steelbook as well. I recommend it for the A/V presentation & Steelbook art.

I've seen a number of negative reviews for this film but I really enjoyed this movie. I thought the story could have been better, but I thought the acting, action sequences and humor made up for it. It reminded me of T1 and T2 which is a good thing. I enjoyed myself and that's the whole point. Some people just take it too far with the criticism. It's just a movie and a decent one. It isn't perfect but it's a fun movie to go watch that has some heart to it. And since this film begins an alternate time line, I am interested to see where it might go. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to escape and have a good time.

I had heard this movie tried to get back to the roots of the first Terminator movie with the scenes and action. That seldom works well, so I went into it expecting this to be mildy entertaining with a tinge of buyer's remorse. I was actually surprised at the entertainment of it and the sequences. The time continuum felt VERY off, but overall, it was fun to watch and we will watch it again. To explain the feeling of the time being off, the lynchpin character looks to be almost the same age as when she is being rescued, but the technological advancements would infer more than a couple decades of time would have passed.

I loved this sequel. No different than the ones before where action and running and trying to survive is the first thought. I remember as an adult seeing the first Terminator and many of the firsts of Sci-fi, so, hearing some folks putting down something because a female is the main fighter or what not is bad. The first movie was not a masterpiece, remember that, but it was badaxx . I still find the notion of terminators to be badaxx . BF deals on 4k allowed me to buy this at a great price.

This was honestly the best Terminator since judgement day. Only 1 scene I can truly pick on thr cgi in the very beginning when the rev 9 is chasing them up the catwalk, that jump was just HORRIBLE! The idea of the rev 9 I really liked, the "future soldier" idea to combat terminators was another cool throw in. Dani though, I'm sorry I can't buy as a future badass in any respect. Linda Hamilton, well she's the mother of the resistance and seeing her back was AWESOME! "Carl" talking about his business is hysterical. There's a few scenes that have you laughing, but overall it was an absolutely addition to the line.

Overall a fairly well done movie. Arnold really wasn't necessary for the story and it would have been better served with more dialogue time to flesh out the main actors. Good action. Good effects. Reasonable flashback sequences. Not a fan of the Arnie ending, as it was too predictable. Would have preferred a German Shephard in the back of the jeep at the end, for personal amusement. There wasn't much point to replacing Skynet from the storyline if there wasn't going to be some existential discussion about changing the future and it's ramifications.

Terminator Dark Fate was “good entertainment”. It was a typical Terminator movie. The movie held my attention, but it was not surprising like the original movie. Dark Fate was predictable. Both Arnold Schwarzenegger’s and Linda Hamilton’s performances were perfect. Linda kicked butt like always and Arnold expressed feelings/compassion. One could feel them handing over the movie series to the next cast of characters to continue the series. This was not my favorite episode, but it was fun.

I'm not reviewing the movie other than to say I was entertained, and it was a fitting end to the original Terminator series. As my other reviews highlight the blu ray's extras, which enlighten the viewer to the reasons and ways the movie was made or came about. This is another great example of the explanations as to how the movie came was realized. The original cast and James Cameron only came together for this one because the writing and nature of the story was fitting and touched them all. So enjoy the final original Terminator movie as the makers and actors envisioned.

Everything after 1991's 'T2' has been either a let down or just flat out terrible. So when 'Terminator: Dark Fate' came along in 2019 I just ignored it. Jump to late 2020 and after a friend's recommendation I figure I'll give it a shot on Hulu. WOW! I was floored by how much I enjoyed this excellent and worthy sequel to T1 and T2. During the holidays this 4K UHD (which is reference quality in picture/sound) went on sale and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally make my Terminator collection a proper trilogy.

Mash-up of original and T2 Terminator movie plots results in enjoyable film for Terminator fans. Reunites Arnold, Linda Hamilton and James Cameron (Executive Producer) and changes Reese character to female. Women kick butt and entire movie is non-stop action/chase scene. This movie/storyline is basically T2 redone and updated, forget the previous weak Terminator movies after T2. I don't think this franchise can go on any longer so it was nice seeing Linda Hamilton back for one last time.

The Mexican worker Dani Ramos is hunted down by the indestructible terminator from the future REV-9 that kills her father and brother and is protected by the enhanced soldier also from the future Grace. They flee from the unstoppable terminator and out of the blue Sarah Connor helps them on the road. They head to Laredo, Texas, where Grace has the coordinates of a possible support and they meet the T-800 that killed John Connor and is living in an isolated with his family composed by a wife and a son for a long time. The group teams up to try to destroy the REV-9

This is a fine installment of the Terminator franchise. Best of all it's been updated to what society looks like now, as well as bringing back the original Sarah Connor! This film has a slightly different twist. Sarah and her crew did stop the apocalypse that was to come, but fate managed bring about an apocalypse at a later date and cause. A terminator comes back through time and does kill John Conner. But instead of Kyle comes a new female character whose a modified human! Killer! This film is very bit as good as the others. Give it a watch!

This is a follow up to TII. AS is somehow regenerated and his body has aged. The original mother is back, fit as ever, looking sharp but also aged. A different actor plays her son. The story is involving. Yet another liquid robot is sent out to change the world. Good action. And get out your handkerchiefs for the ending. Satisfying movie. Since I really like the entire series, I give it 5 stars. I don't recall even seeing an ad for this at the movies...was it straight to disc? The 4K HDR has great color and sound. I've watched it twice since I got it.

I seem to recall this not getting the greatest reviews but I really like it. No Terminator movie will ever be better than T2. But this one does come close. Spoiler in the next sentence: The only thing I didn't like is I felt like they put too much emphasis on the false notion that she was just the mother of the savior and ended up being the savior instead. I know it was done to convey and dispel sexist stereotypes. And I applaud that. But it felt forced.

Ignore the endless parade of movie critics on Youtube and Rotten Tomatoes. They dive into movies with a scalpel to carve out any and every timeline flaw. I wish they'd all pool their money together and make the PERFECT movie so we could all watch it and be enlightened... That being said, this movie was pretty cool. That's all an action movie needs to be. This is a worthy "3d installment" in the franchise and I'm sorry that I may not be able to enjoy future Terminator movies because of the hysterical and unfair criticism that this film received.

Terminator Dark Fate is a good follow up to the original 2. Disregarding 3-5, Terminator Dark Fate picks up after the events of T2. The only unfortunate thing is it's just a bit too late. Had this come out 10-15 years ago, it may have done much better. But after the lackluster responses to to the last 3, Terminator interest has faded. But this film is a good return to the franchise none-the-less. Worth the view, and looks and sound fantastic on 4k UHD.

I am a fan of this series, I have them ALL even the ones we were supposed to pretend never happened (Salvation, Genisys). I have the original standard definition, blu ray, even a couple of 4K dvds. This latest one has some interesting CGI effects (or however they are achieving those incredible scenes). In this offering SKYNET didn't happen- Linda, John and Ahnold stopped it- remember? Now there is a new nemesis. You'll have to buy the dvd to find out what the new peril is. Or go to Redbox. LOL. If you're a fan you'll like it.

I have always loved the Terminator franchise, no matter who directed it or in what time line it's in. Love robot movies, love time travel movies and love Sarah Conner. I hope someday there is a closer to this franchise, whether the we won or the machines won-that way we know who the ultimate winner is. Love the new Terminator, Sarah is still the same tough lady, I just wish the story was heading somewhere besides another, I don't know about the future. Still a good movie to watch if your a Terminator fan.
