Terminator: Dark Fate BD

Love Terminator films and I enjoy buying blurays to watch whenever I feel like it.

This is a four and a half star movie.... I've read so many bad reviews about this it's scary. I was a teenager when The terminator came out.... This was a b rated movie at the time and became a classic. I loved it as it was sci fi action. The stars and director at the time said it was a love story, and if you watch it esp Cameron's uncut version of is. T2 was amazing at the time, special effects, action, all the stars back including a ghostly Carl. But it Rewrote the ending of the first one in what it did..... Did we question. No w we loved it for what is was, which was popcorn best, ground-breaking no as Cameron had used the effects in The Abyss, which like the first terminator very few saw at the cibema...... In recent years it kinda got lost for what the original was..... Human emotions, love, sacrifice, Fate, no fate, a will to live, a denial... Etc wrapped up in Sci Fi.. So Terminator Dark Fate.... It brings back Cameron.... Hamilton.... Arnie..... It brings back a love lost, a love for a family/friends, human emotions, fate, no fate, a will to live, a denial.... So tick.. It adds revenge, a ghost from the past, sorrows for loss in a bottle, an anger for sacrifice, a remorse, a will to earn forgiveness without asking for it.... Plus the basic ghostly copy of a younger Sarah model who looses much, and realises she has so much more to loose... In effect this is Cameron.... This is a complex story that clearly continues on From T2... At first did I like the start...hmmmm. But in reflection if T2 happened after T1 then it's only logical that the opening happened, which sets up a human story.. In fact you could argue a role reversal for the two main stayers. It doesn't take the action long... And if we look at the world to day, why can't the T2 ending result in this. The two and a half from the future are brilliant, and it's good to see the medical weakness in one of them. The chases are brilliant as usual. Hamilton is brilliant as a n alcohol fuelled hunter... With visions of grandeur. Arnie is brilliant... Way more lines than T2 and T1 together. But it works...seeing him talk about carpets and draps is so funny. But the nod to Carl is a nice touch by the terminator (and cameron) By the end I was drained, entertained and got everything I have enjoyed from Cameron's action films... If you liked True Lies, Aliens, and T1 and T2, we're around in the 80s.. Then this is for you. If you believe that T2 is untouchable then don't watch this. But I am sure if you're a sci fi fan, an action Fan, or Terminator fan you will love this. Put it on, grab some popcorn and switch off and Get on board Cameron's action train...

I came to this as an Arnie fan of his whole career and owner of all the discs of his whole career. I hadn't rushed to the cinema to see it as I now prefer watching all films in the comfort of my own home. I was a bit concerned at the negative reviews but approached my viewing with as open a mind as possible and on balance I think it is an excellent if not outstanding film. My criteria for a good movie is that it must absorb me for its entire length, it should entertain me, probably make me laugh and cry in equal measure and I should want to watch it again. As an Arnie fan there is a good chance it will be ok but I will qualify this to deal with all the negative reviews. It was great to see both Arnie and Linda H reprising their roles albeit in the guise of the characters from T2. I thought the supporting cast were ok but the bad terminator was ,I feel miss cast which was a shame. Most of the first hour consisted of what I would call production violence like a computer game and wasn't particularly valuable. from the moment Arnold' s character appears as the humanized older man, the whole film shifted to a higher level and the story became far more meaningful with the inevitable T2 type heroic ending. I appreciate the need for the first half of the film but we probably could have got there much quicker and still enjoyed the main , second half. Folk who have complained about the re writing of the whole terminator concept should try and understand that it is only Science fiction and is only an entertainment . In the end does it really matter if the characters are interesting and I would suggest that both of the original ones are and continue to be so. As long as the Arnold character continues to appear in films I will continue to watch them and no doubt enjoy them, if not take any such stuff too seriously!!!Definitely worth watching!!

I deliberately paid more to get the US version of this 4K UHD instead of the UK version because the US version is a Dolby Vision (the most advanced HDR) one. The video and audio quality is first class. I also love every Terminator movie. I have a full set of original USA MK speaker system (15 units of MK speakers including three S150) plus two MK 350 subwoofers to showcase every 4K UHD movie. By the way, when will movie lovers have a decent version of T2? The current one is a below par version.

他の国のリージョンのを売って.... 皆さん観れてるんですか？

Soy fan de los clásicos del cine y cuando supe que Paramount Pictures había restaurado en 4K Ultra HD "Terminator: Dark Fate", la compré de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, lo mejor es que si traía subtítulos en español, pero el único inconveniente es que ya no traía el Slipcover de colección.

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."
