Finally some justice to the franchise !!
22 August 2020
Though I am a great fan of the Terminator franchise, I was very reluctant to see this movie for a while because of the fifth instalment. After a great start to the franchise The Terminator:T1 and T2: Judgement day, T3: raise of the machines turned into a dud followed by a somewhat promising T4: Salvation. T5: Genesis turned out to be a pathetic affair. So I had very low expectations when I started this sixth instalment, Terminator: Dark Fate aka T6.

In about 30 minutes into the movie I found Terminator: Dark Fate extremely gripping and I N T E N S E with lots of surprises springing up regularly. T6 luckily cut the mistakes that T3, T4 and T5 did, that is cutting up the over complicated Cyber Dyne, Skynet, Resistance, HK Hunter killer, T800, T1000, Judgement day, Kyle Reese Mumbo Jumbo etc. This I believe has made Terminator: Dark Fate a very interesting and a pure action cinema to even new viewers. The movie is loaded with very "Cool" action sequences and springs a host of surprises, about every 20 minutes.

Linda Hamilton's return to the franchise along with newcomers McKenzie Davis and Natalia Rayes adds up tremendous on screen boost to take on the new Terminator Rev9, which is a credible and refreshing upgrade. Awesome screenplay keeps T6 very refreshing and intense for almost throughout the movie. Excellent stunts & cinematography lights up things on screen. Excellent VFX and production design needs a special mention, So does the spectacular Background Score. The movie never lags in any way. In the end all the credit & appreciation should go to the director Tim Miller for T6.

If over the years, one has seen the movies from Terminator franchise, Terminator: Dark Fate is an unmissable movie. I am sure Terminator fans the world over will surely enjoy this one. I thought after T5, the franchise was dead but "It is Back". A must watch for all action fans around the world and not just T fans.....
