Terminator: Dark Fate

It's not overly sentimental but Dark Fate succinctly links up to [James] Cameron's early films, without getting bogged down in what actually happens in this new alternate future.

Ultimately, Dark Fate is nothing more than a run-duck-and-repeat production - an extraordinarily familiar, if efficiently made, exercise in Terminatorology.

There's little sense of momentum or urgency, and everything reaches back rather than looking forward.

There are more than enough ingredients here to cook up one rousing and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller. Except this time around, they're just serving up overcooked leftovers.

An actor's age is irrelevant. What matters is that you have compelling characters performed well, which is why Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger carry this film.

Director Tim Miller ("Deadpool") has hit a reset button, and he finds just the right mix of action, suspense and, when needed, old-school comic relief.

The good news is, director Tim Miller gets most of them right as he clearly understands that you don't have to overcomplicate matters by deconstructing the franchise's time-travel elements.

It works right up until someone very familiar appears and it's not Sarah. [Full review in Spanish].

Tim Miller has done a rock-solid job within the boundaries of the story, but this is a film that [...]really needed to strike out and make a statement of purpose.

A returning Linda Hamilton keeps things lively, yet Terminator: Dark Fate proves to be the same old plodding machine, only this time there is a woke component to its mechanics that really grinds gears.
