TERMINATOR: DARK FATE (BLU-RAY/DVD)

Sòlo la pedi para tener la colecciòn. Aùn no la miro, pero parece interesante hayan reunido a Linda Blair y a Arnold.

Well, I thought I learned my lesson about listening to critics bombing a movie. I was wrong, I judged this excellent movie by them again and from what others had said. I watched it (finally) from beginning to end without interputions and I'm glad I did. The movie was refreshing to see and the new characters made it exciting all over again. What can you say, Arnold was Arnold in the role made for him. Older but more sure of himself with respects to the part. Linda was still a bad ass with weapons and cocky, lending her experience to the given situations as the movie progressed. Mackenize, Natalia and Diego were refreshing to see and set in Mexico adds to a different lineage to the story. Just to add, there was NO reference to illegal aliens getting free anything, it was just part of the story! ( nor was there any preaching about them staying here.) I liked very much, sometimes it helps an established francise to relocate to bring interest and a fresh perspective back for the fans. Being bi-lingual, I found it easy to follow the scenes in Mexico with Grace, Dani and Diego. Too bad Diego's part was cut short, there could've been room for him in another movie. Dani and Grace have a good rapport going after Grace proves who she is. The trust is built and the story grows and moves along quite well. There is great potential for this Dark Fate team to grow if they decide to pick it up again. I really hope so, it would nice if "they'll be back."

Lets all be honest here folks what has been lacking in the bogus sequels since T2 has been Linda Hamilton whose been MIA in Hollywood for quite some time. This is a delightful 2 hour action film that is packed with great special effects. What I love about this installment is that it looks much like the first two films and was not over done wit the CGI. I would also say I thought it had a great story line. Yes it went into some controversial waters esp at the beginning of the film, but in the end fans crave creativity and good story telling over mindless action with no story (like the previous Terminator films since T2). I did like Salvation and that it was set in the future though with Christiane Bale. The DVD box was damaged when it shipped but that's okay. I went to see it opening weekend back in Nov and just surprised how quickly movies get released to DVD and digital these days. If your a true Terminator fan you will LOVE this film. Much improvement over T3, and Genisys which were bad. With Linda Hamilton's return also brings a new direction and flavor for Sarah Conner. As much as I would love another one to be made, since this didn't have a great box office performance that will still be undecided.

Why did they have to go all woke on this one? Seriously, it was an all female cast minus Arnold of course and they made him out to be a has-been who sells draperies. Still as only Arnold can deliver, he killed their effort by turning it into fun amusement, that only America's 'strong man' could do with something so silly, especially since his character was a hardcore, 500 lb, metal machine underneath. Watching Gabriel Luna again years after seeing this movie when it first came out was a lot better. Plus he was featured for several episodes in Marvel's "Agents of Shield" which introduced him more so as an actor. I was still annoyed by the female, and tough female, and super soldier female cast. They totally lacked balance in assembling these characters. I get bringing back the Sara Connor character, now as an old has been of a future that never happened. They even mixed up the plot to get it off of the John Connor character which was considerably tiresome by this point. Maybe the protector could have been a man? Or... Arnold might have had more scenes and carried that role without having a secondary or yet a third protector. Afterall, the young unsuspecting female who replaces John, as the new target of a new future, ends up with a mature and seasoned Sarah who could have been all that was needed besides discovering Arnolds character as they did and bringing him in. Thus that would leave us without the super soldier female, which trippled down on things. Basically the writers wanted the audience to know that teaming up three women and a broken ex-terminator is what was needed to finally win against the latest machine from the future. Whatever... We then get the hotel scene and 'what', the women duke it out for the right to be the sovereign protector? This was just a waste. As much as there were character problems that went in this film, the overall movie still performed well in rewatching it years later.

Ok movie not as good as the others. But very good special Fx
