Review: So, I had to deal with an SUV driving up a “No Entry” lane
in the car park and causing major congestion, another SUV with its hazard lights
on and closing down a lane to exit via barriers as the driver or passengers had
not paid to valid their parking ticket and an SUV forcing drivers of their lanes (no
indicators used) and then illegally manoeuvring on the roundabouts (Again, with
no indicators). The person sitting next to me frightened easily, all this
before finally settling down to write this review. Phew.
So, Terminator: Dark Fate, the heavily advertised return of
Sarah Conner, did not disappoint. From the very first Terminator movie in the
franchise from 1984 to the current one, I have followed each of them (Granted
the first Terminator movie arrived before I was born and my mother would’ve
thought I was batsh*t crazy to want to watch Terminator 2: Judgement Day in
1991)
The movie itself brought back a feel I have when watching a
Terminator movie: “So mankind has or will lose control of a machine, again. *Eyeroll*”
You almost get the sense that Ultron (Marvel) may have influenced a more
grounded killer machine, which is sent back in time to alter the timeline so the
core (almost hive mind like) machine remains virtually unopposed.
The T800 that Arnold Schwarzenegger portrays has been moved
aside in favour of a female hybrid type of machine to do the saving this time
around. Quite a bit of humour involved, strong language and CGI plays a heavy role, quite nicely as well. There
have been hints of alternative timelines and the climax of the movie is left open.
There are also lots of subliminal messages in the movie regarding
the state of technology and politics of certain countries in the current era.
This movie kind of feels like a soft reboot in the mould the first Terminator
and Terminator Genisys, but definitely upbeat and has more development of the
story to come.
