A spectacular misfire on all fronts.

Terminator: Dark Fate will not by any means blow you away but what it will do is rekindle some of that lost enthusiasm you had when you first watched The Terminator and Judgement Day.

| Original Score: B- | May 2, 2024

Once again, as is customary in the saga, a dystopian future and games between temporal fluctuations are proposed through an anachronistic story, in which the new Terminator is more invincible than ever...

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 27, 2024

A narrative decision in the opening sequence removes some of T2’s emotional impact, damaging the saga’s best movie and one of the greatest sci-fi/action films of all time.

| Original Score: C | Jul 24, 2023

“Dark Fate” still packs enough to make this enjoyable especially for franchise fans. The characters are the biggest treat, the fresh faces and the series vets.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

Another retconned franchise, another ill-advised attempt to capitalize on an intellectual property well past its prime.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 23, 2022

Terminator: Dark Fate goes back to the franchise's core concepts, while also trying to carve out a new direction for the franchise.

| Original Score: 8 | Nov 29, 2021

Seeing Linda Hamilton team up with Arnold Schwarzenegger for another round at the Terminator timeline, is well-worth the time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2021

Has some radical ideas and mediocre execution.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 12, 2021

The movie doesn't bother to enlighten us, choosing instead to return us too to the past, where they hope the nostalgia is enough of a distraction. And it is, but not a whole lot more than that.

| Aug 5, 2021

The movie certainly seems to be trying to say something, but whatever it is gets buried under the mind-numbing action and its own weak vagueness.

| Original Score: 3 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

Linda Hamilton is on top form in the best Terminator film since Judgement Day...

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 11, 2021

If you can ignore the story mechanics and give in to the pure visceral nature of the film, it's an entertaining ride with a few great nostalgia kicks.

| Feb 17, 2021

Terminator: Dark Fate is the best Terminator movie since T2 but feels more like a chance at setting up a new batch of sequels than a rebirth of the story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2021

For those of us keeping score, we are now 0-4 for modern Terminator sequels -- maybe it really is time to say goodbye.

| Original Score: C | Jan 29, 2021

It's good to see the old crew back together.

| Jan 29, 2021

First and foremost, the decision to bring Sarah Connor back pays off big time. Linda Hamilton hasn't missed a beat as the world-weary warrior, and gets back to smashing metal mother[frick]ers to smithereens with aplomb.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 28, 2021

Seeing Hamilton with the same sunglasses, the same inflexible visage, and a hoard of heavy weaponry is lightly nostalgic - but mostly meaningless.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 7, 2020

I did appreciate the power of women in this film, but even more enjoyable was the Terminator's evolution and role.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Nov 22, 2020

A potent mix of action, suspense, and well-timed humor...
