| I’ll be honest, the first trailer I saw worried me. It looked like the movie had an overt feminist agenda. Which, when properly presented is completely understandable and even appropriate. But if it saturates every frame of a movie, it’s overbearing and distracting. What should be one ingredient becomes the singular flavor. I’ll end up seeing it on video or T.V., but I’m glad I didn’t spend theater prices to see it. |

| I liked Genisys a lot. It created an alternate timeline, so, they were free to do whatever they wanted while keeping the original continuity intact. | ||

| Terminator franchise is one of my favorite series, including the tv show. I doubt I will be disappointed. Shame it only brought in $29M - that is quite embarrassing, I must admit. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/terminator-dark-fate-brings-franchise-142458274.html The new Paramount release had been projected to open in the $40 million ballpark but only grossed $29 million in the U.S. and $102 million oversees, a sign the film’s international box office won’t be enough to save it. Despite solid reviews and the highly-touted returns of James Cameron and Linda Hamilton to the franchise, “Dark Fate” barely opened higher than 2015’s despised “Terminator Genisys” (a $27 million start in the U.S.). The one saving grace behind “Terminator: Dark Fate” bombing at the box office is that it was financed by Paramount, Skydance, and Disney (via 20th Century Fox), so the film’s losses will be split among the studios and not piled solely onto Paramount. |

| I saw the first season of the show, and thought it was solid. I heard it collapsed under the weight of its budget after season 2. But, it was definitely a breath of fresh air for the franchise at the time. | ||

| I will have to see it for myself, but from reading the review it hardly seems replacing one character that was male with a female is the much touted feminist agenda...that being said, I haven't seen the picture yet and will reserve judgement | ||

| I just got back from watching it. It was OK. I'd rather they made a movie about Carl and his journey (no spoiler from me there). I think that would be a super interesting movie. It was good to see Linda and Arnold again. Linda is so good as Sarah. That doesn't make up for the fact that the movie had the same issue the 2nd Indiana Jones movie had. It never stops to let the audience take a breath so they can develop the new characters. If there had been more about Dani's and Grace's future and what they did within it then the movie would have been better. Also, the over the top CGI stunts with the C5 and humvee scenes reminded me of the crap in the fast and the furious movies. Just stupid. |

| I've been thinking about why the movie didn't do well and I think it is because people who aren't my age or older just don't care about the franchise nor Arnold anymore. To the youth of today he's an older actor their parents watch just like the Terminator franchise is a storyline their parents used to watch. | ||

| SLIGHTLY SPOILER as stated earlier - the movie is ok. just that i did not like the ending. i would give it 3/5. it didn’t bother me that women had a bigger role. just that the timelines and some of the logics within the movie which are flawed. it is good entertainment - but feels long at times. now - it would have been a completely different story if it had a post credit scene with an eye powering up |

| Reading the title, I thought maybe Hamilton did a topless scene to 'bookend' the films. Glad to read that isn't the case. |

| The first twenty minutes or so was pretty amazing. They hadn't sold the unstoppable terror of the terminator that well since the first one. The middle was a bit disjoint, on the pacing and plot. They could have done a better job setting up that kid's death, or the future stuff that seemed unrealistically dystopian. And the 'science' of the weapon they have was sooooo bad. I thought someone would realize what the "E" stands for when they were at that dam that produces all that electricity, but no. Glossed over a few things. Hand waved important plot points. What was the what with the time ripples? "From a future that doesn't exist?" How does that happen? And all the secrets were so tame when they finally came out I forgot they were secrets. But the effect and action was good, mostly. It was fun to watch. I also would give it 3 out of 5. If it came on TV next week I'd let it play rather than change the channel. |

| Just saw it in IMAX. I agree With remarks on thin plot. I thought Linda and Arnold did a decent job. Arnold is still good at this type of role. I get the Fast and Furious reference, that plane and Humvee scenes were over the top. They could have built up the characters a bit more. |
