Film Review: ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’: Original Cast Can’t Re-ignite Franchise

R | 2h 8min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | 1 November 2019 (USA)

The original “Terminator” was an instant classic. You know this already. It was thrilling and terrifying, it was original, it had James Cameron as a young, hungry, slightly genius filmmaker, and it had Arnold Schwarzenegger at the height of his movie and muscle prowess. It slammed the Austrian-accented phrase “I’ll be baaaack” into the public consciousness, and 35 years later, it’s still in there. It spawned the term “Governator.”
