TERMINATOR: DARK FATE (Explained + Review) 

Terminator Genisys “let’s make John Connor a terminator.” Terminator Dark Fate “let’s kill John Connor.”

You know what I don't understand is how a terminator can sit on lawn furniture without it breaking beneath the terminator's immense weight

The saying “I’m not angry, just disappointed “ fits in great for the movie, but also adds the angry part in as well.

I want a 2 hours of the future war, imagine 2 hours of the opening scene from judgement day and the bunker and battle scenes from the first movie

I really can’t believe that they took one of the best strong female characters in sci fi and actually had her reduce *herself* as just some “womb”. Like talk about tone deaf Hollywood schlock. You can’t just throw out John Connor and replace her with some poor half-done imitation of Sarah and John.

Terminator: Salvation is criminally underrated and the only movie brave enough to try something different. T2 Forever!

Remember when the t800 was the ultimate killing machine badass and not a house husband with draperies? Pepperidge farm remembers. Also the rev 9 is preety cool tbh

“As much depth as you’d find in a 2 dimensional square” 😂😂 That is fantastic.

I thought it was funny how a completely different version of AI still ends up creating identical looking terminators and operates exactly like Skynet. I wish people would give me tons of money to make movies, I'd at least come up with new stuff instead of re-doing old movies

Terminator: Legion "Let's make 'Rev 9' the new protector"

I want to go back in time and tell my younger self. That the series truly ended after T2.

The alternate ending of T2 was the true ending. They should have really continued the story from salvation instead of treading on the same water. Salvation could have been a great trilogy with the final movie ending with john sending Kyle reese back in time

I only see two paths from here: - This saga hit rock bottom and could only go up from here - Terminator is already dead, and this funeral was a joke

I think if they had taken a different route and said that the REV 9 had been by a fragment of Skynet that survived the resistance and become Legion that would’ve been better and would explain why John was killed

I've listened to a lot of reviews and it seems like the stank of _Dark Fate_ has had a serendipitous side-effect. It has caused a lot of people to appreciate _Terminator: Salvation_ a lot more and have people even say that it was the best-sequel since _T2_ when next to no one would have been caught saying that before. I will give _TS_ credit for breaking convention and giving us something different, but to say that it was the "best" Terminator movie since _T2_ I don't know if I agree or disagree. That movie was all over the place plot-wise. Couldn't tell if it was about John Connor, Kyle Reese, or Sam Worthington's character. Ida know. I guess by default it wins. It's the only sequel in where the John Connor character remained intact and where he resembled what were were told hat he was in the original Terminator.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard you disappointed with something and man that feeling sucks but at least you made this video to explain why it’s a bad film and how it spits in the face of the other films. good in you man

Why does a Terminator kill John then all sudden become friendly makes no sense

Totally agree with your salvation statement, I dont understand the hate for that film.

"He's the most lethal terminator ever created!" T-meg and T-infinity: "Am I a joke to you?"

Carl claimed you could measure the temporal displacement and get a time and place, but it still doesn’t make sense how she made it onto the bridge

Terminator: Dark Fate gives all-new meaning to the phrase, "Hasta La Vista, Baby!" xD

Why didn't they just call the movie Terminator: Legion...

Modern Hollywood: Use Nostalgia to sell tickets Kill Nostalgia to push "artistic direction"

Grace: "Hes the most lethal terminator ever created" T-3000: *Am I a Joke to You?*

Terminator 3 & Salvation did a better job of connecting all the films together than both Genisys and Dark Fate did.

Thank you for a finally honest review. Every review I have seen tries to claims that, “oh this movie is so original” and that “the characters have so much depth.” I appreciate an accurate description of how it affects the franchise and history of the series.

"Do you see why I'm frustrated with this film." You can just hear how pissed off he is 😆😆😆😆

They forgot that every terminator has their learning chip on read only to avoid being rouge and such, Man they killed really killed the series 😢

To be honest i dont think its possible to make a better ending than T2. So many fans loved the film it had everything, so everyone who saw these movies growing up will always love them, not just because they where great but because they where great and we saw them in our younger days when things like this made a huge impression and emotional. For some of us anyway. It doesent matter how hard they try, the first two movies will never be beaten.

What most people seem to not realize is that once you introduce time travel, you should never expect things to make sense. Simple. So really take that into effect when you criticize any movie really what involves time travel

They killed John Connor. Thats why the film failed. RESPECT THE CANON.

Terminator: Dark Fate Grumbly Sarah Conner Grace the protector, give the girl a protein shake, she’ll be okay Dani, inspires Old T-800 that finnaly did the job, watches over a family as a hobby REV-9, my skeleton does yoga, and I stabby more ways than a flail

Me: What's a Rev9? Producers: Its a.... You know what? Have some more action packed scenes.

I'd rather fight the Machine War than see THIS future

I feel like if they change the name/title “terminator” to something else would cause an uproar

How the terminators still go back in time when there is no skynet? -skynet has already sent the terminators before its death and still was program to kill john

That moment you realize they brought back James Cameron just for show.

Finally, someone thought Salvation was a good movie when everyone else thought it was shit.

Best movies in order: T2 T1 Salvation All the garbage ones here

The only thing that make this movie still ok is because Arnie was in it

This film was extremely disappointing. The choices made here were just straight up stupid..

looks like a bad retcon lol

So here's my revised version I just cobbled together. Sorry this is really long. 1) John isnt in the film cause he's living a normal life. Since skynet is destroyed there logically is no reason for him to become humanity's savior. He's just chilling with old Arnold with his own family. 2) Arnold couldve been a terminator sent to kill John as a baby. But due to how Sarah kept low all those years the terminator couldnt find her. He gained sentiance and eventually decided his mission made no sense. So now he's just chilling with an older John and John's wife and kid simply think of as "Uncle Carl". Cause again old Arnold thinks killing John makes no sense anymore cause skynet is gone. 3) Grace and this new terminator, we'll call the Reaper (spitballling give me a break) come from a completely different time than one we recognize as the classic terminator one. They come from a future where due to cybernetic enhancements and nano tech a massive war ignites killing most of humanity in the process. Grace is a member of the military who protects the last of the non-augmented people on earth. The Reaper was created by a brand new AI created during the war, its mission is to "win" the war it was designed to beat meaning killing all humans remaining. 4) Sarah hasnt been hunting terminators but instead continues to live in paranoia and fear about the "dark fate" of humanity. This led John to finally cut ties with her and live his own life. She's able to find Dani and Grace due to her simply being on the freeway as the fight goes down. 5) Dani (who in this revision is a med student) is being hunted because in the future shes the one who invents the particular enhancement tech Grace and the other surviving soldiers use. She's even the one who directly enhanced Grace. The Reaper turns out is actually her son who was deconstruced by the metal exoskeleton's nano machines. Literally if she dies, everyone does. 6) The Reaper, unlike most terminators somehow (I assume through Dani's phone) actually taunts her as he's hunting. The purpose is to break her down mentally and leave her vulnerable to kill. The Reaper isnt her son, it simply wears her sons visage as a mask. Hope this works for some people. Sorry for the long post.

I literally watched up to the death of John and said nope.

If the t-800 killed John Conner in the beginning of the movie then everyone had the legal right to leave because the movie was over everyone knows if John dies then humanity lost can’t just throw away what was all ready established by the first 2 movies

2:43 Kyle Reese's quote is void cuz of this movie? Damn it, CARL!!! Lol

Dark Fate: *plays* YT recommendations: "Was Genesis really that bad?''

I downloaded terminator dark fate on torrent For John

Honestly, The Sarah Conner Chronicles AND Salvation did it (in my opinion) right in a certain direction BY KEEPING to the cannon with neat nods and easter eggs together. Cause the thing I love bout Salvation is the fact IT DIDNT CHANGE what occured or pandered with backstory, where it gave us AN AWESOME STORY in the Terminator universe with a quick cameo of Arnold. Which my opinion, looked great, sure one or two scenes were corny/not worth the moments and some things in the movie were never explained. The fact is they skipped over a bit to stay on story and I loved it all the more.

Here how the Terminator story goes Skynet has sent a Terminator to kill John's mother Sarah John has sent Kyle to protect his mother When Kyle and Sarah were together they both fell in love and Kyle father John which reveal that Kyle who was sent by John was John's father Kyle died protecting Sarah but the Terminator survived and tried to kill Sarah but destroyed him Remains of the Terminator the chip and the arm was recovered by the people of Cyberdyne use it to get ideas to develop new technology and gave them the idea to develop Skynet Which means if Skynet and John hasn't sent the Terminator and Kyle into the past than both of them would never existed When Sarah prevented the existence of Skynet it worked but many years a rise of new evil AI Legion Is there a connection between Skynet and Legion? If Terminators were never sent to the past by Skynet would Legion still exist? Is the Terminators sent by Skynet has something to do with Legion the first Terminator sent in the past in the first movie had led to the creation of Skynet?

Can you imagine the ego of the guys that thought this shambles would be a smash hit. Ffs 😂😂

Saw a lot of critics like this film... saw a lot of my favorite youtubers dislike this film. Think I'll trust my youtubers and save my cash and time... For John.

Terminator: exists Hollywood: *DO IT AGAIN*

If I had to rewrite DF, I’d honestly only change the way the T-800 is introduced. Maybe after killing John, it just wanders, a robot with no purpose, instead of being a drapery guy. It sends the messages to Sarah because it needs a purpose. And it’s purpose is to give Sarah’s life purpose. Then it would make sense for it to agree to help Dani and Grace because he is given a new mission; A new purpose.

Thank you for such a well spoken, genuine, and accurate breakdown.

Was about to go to sleep and then saw the notification

You know you've ruined a franchise when you have to explain that the other Terminator films were not canon. The franchised died with John.

_SHE WATCHES HER SON DIE_ How is it hard to understand that that would break someone utterly?

They did actually explain in the movie how Arnold is able to detect where a new terminator will appear. But yes I completely agree they left a massive plot hole with how Sarah knew they were gonna be on that freeway, I instantly noticed when Arnold said that.

Just watched last night... I'm heartbroken 💔 I absolutely love this franchise and had such high hopes for this film. Especially after the initial trailer! It seemed like it was going to just nail the story and tie up the entirety of the movie so perfectly. But it doesn't. Not in the least. Your review exactly sums it up! Soooo much potential and somehow they still missed the mark on every turn. I really wanted to like this film. Now I'm just stuck with the trailer and memory of the excitement for what I thought was to be.

"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead. Oh and after your dead it may feel sorry about killing you and start a family, yeah its weird" *sigh* 😑

Potential Spoiler! Also, how did Carl learn to be more Human if no one knew he was a Terminator? Someone had to physically remove his CPU & flip the switch from Read-only to Read-and-write before he could even start thinking for himself but he doesn't even mention it or anyone that might have done it for him. Does it flip itself when the mission's accomplished? Did Skynet just think "fuck it" & send a potential threat to its existence back in time anyway? And Sarah knows that Skynet doesn't send out infiltrators capable of independent thought alone because Uncle Bob told her that. Why didn't she ask? She already wants to kill him so why not call bullshit!?

When i saw John Connor died I knew the rest was gonna be extremely disappointing. I really prefer the mk11 Terminator ending. That was an awesome ending

Personally, I like that our “Dark Fate” is inevitable. No matter what you do, an A.I. Program will always take over, with a leader always stepping up.

John Cornner:*Exist* Terminator Dark Fate: "I'm about to end this man whole career."

It's been 2 years, please finish The Thing series!

That john connor twist though made me sad. Made me remeber Kyle's words

They killed John so they could replace his character with a strong female that would go onto the planned trilogy to save humanity. But. The people writing/making it had no interest in writing a good character and just wanted to push SJW agendas separate from the film. This is why the film has failed. Hope this trend in Hollywood changes soon.

Sarah saying “I’m never gonna fucking call you Carol” to the terminator perfectly sums up my feelings

THANK YOU! I’m not the only that actually likes Terminator Salvation

Man, when I saw IGN gave it a good review, I was really hopeful because it’s been years since a good Terminator film… it’s really sad that this great franchise is now burdened with yet another flop.

I was interested to see what someone invested in terminator lore such as you would have to say about the film. I appreciate your points and think they accurately portray why everyone feels so violated by this film. Thx FilmComicsExplained

John: "It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and It absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." Nyet: "And after you're dead, it will raise a family, give itself an unassuming name and specialize in drapes." Me: Then it will drop its facade when the nuking and machine uprising begins, traumatizing its wife and child upon revealing itself to be a machine in front of them.

I appreciate your voice explaining the movies, and with this soundtrack is quite mysterious. haha

The purpose of Terminators is to travel back in time to remove what can impact the future. Example future resistance leaders.

A good analysis and dissertation of this “Sh!t Show” but its like trying to explain the molecular structure of dog vomit....the process might be important to veterinarians , but leaves the dog owner left with a chunky mess on their rug! Good review of a terrible, chunky and stinky mess!

I don't plan on ever watching dark fate. I appreciate you making this video because it validates my concerns and made it so I didn't have to watch it to find out for myself. T1, T2, Salvation were the best and the most cohesive.

Arnold: “I’ll be Damn.”

Genesis and Dark Fate make Salvation look like a spectacular movie in comparison

They do explain how sarah found them on the bridge she was given coordinates by Carl.

I want another movie for the future war. Like a sequel to salvation or just a movie about the future war

i agree with you about salvation being the best one other than 1 and 2.

I actually liked that the T-800 actually adapted to a "normal human life" cause it has been shown that the t-800's are independent AI's wich were capable to learn and act independently, i think the movie has some interesting ideas but just as you said they were horribly mashed together To me the highlights of this movie were Gabriel's Rev 9 and Karl

Salvation in this case is EPIC, not just in story but in action and every thing

It's not hard to imagine a Terminator accessing any information it wants about you in the information age.

Hollywood writing scripts that's a lower quality than a lot of fan fiction.

This is the first time I've heard FilmComicsExplained sound so genuinely upset/annoyed with a film. Just more proof how bad this film is and how lucky I am to not go see it.

The terminator's back story sounded like Twilight 😂

They should have place Miles Dison son as one who found the terminator after killing John, deactivated, since he finished the mission. Then Diasons son reprogrammed it but not before decoating all info needed. This is how Sarah gets the messages and that's how Arnold ends up helping them again. The idea could be furthered explored but would have been better than giving the terminator a family.

I am a Terminator fan at one of the aspects of the earlier Terminator movies was the music on the movies. I like the Terminator one movie soundtrack and I also like the Terminator 2 movie soundtrack because of music go along with the settings of the earlier movies. These last two movies lack the Terminator sound severely.

Wow glad terminator was just the first two films they were so good too bad there were so many bad fan films that came afterward

I feel like this movie was just to fill that female agenda

This forced female lead roles need to stop.

Glad to hear some love for Salvation!

I think a fun terminator sequel would have been if they flipped the script, and Skynet sent the guardian back to keep an important Skynet developer safe or something...because the resistance sent back a terminator first this time...

The trailers looked terrible so I’m glad I didn’t watch it

I feel like this movie would've been more enjoyable had it not had the terminator name

I went in with low expectations and wanted a movie I can turn off my head. So I enjoyed it the movie until all the points you point out clicked in my head. Then it sort of like a glass shattering in my head which makes me go "Oh yeah"

They should build on what the Sarah Connor Chronicles was doing. That would be fantastic. To explain the change they could say different time lines have their own separate time lines.

I can't believe Arnold & Linda went along with this script they know their characters they should've thrown the script back & said "Call me when you get better writers."
