Doomed to a Darker fate then Deserved 2/5
The greatest praise I can afford Terminator: Dark Fate is that, at its best, it feels like terminator movie. Clearly more influenced from T2 then Cameron's original 1984 film (as every terminator sequel has been), Dark Fate isn't afraid to take risks in order to cement its identity and establish what a "terminator film" really is. Unfortunately, while one foot dabbles in fresh waters the other remains planted the same mythology the franchise seems desperate to leave behind. Dark Fate is best when focusing on its new cast including new target Dani Ramos (Reyes) and her enhanced protector Grace (Davis) then begins to fall apart once Hamilton as Sarah Connor and Schwartzenegger come into the picture. The film otherwise is a competent action film if a bit over bloated; it's worth a watch if you are curious but likewise a forgivable skip.
Rotten Tomatoes 71% Cinemascore: B+
