In 1984, James Cameron unleashed The Terminator, a film that changed the sci-fi landscape forever. The movie showcased ground-breaking ideas and techniques and brought the notion of a cyborg and time travel to the forefront of cinema.
The story was inventive and thrilling, and the lead character, portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, turned into a legend.
The film’s triumph also opened the door for many follow-ups, including Terminator 2: Judgment Day, hailed as one of the greatest sequels ever.
The Terminator saga has kept shaping modern cinema, sparking many movies and TV shows to delve into similar topics. The newest addition to the saga was Terminator: Dark Fate, which hit the screens in 2019.
Terminator: Dark Fate acted as a direct continuation of Cameron’s earlier Terminator movie, ignoring the happenings of the other episodes of the saga.
The film starred Linda Hamilton returning as Sarah Connor, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 and Mackenzie Davis as Grace. The fresh faces were Natalia Reyes as Dani Ramos and Gabriel Luna as the Rev-9 terminator.
Linda Hamilton was all business when it came to surviving the robot apocalypse but turns out she couldn’t keep a straight face during some scenes!
Reportedly, Miller had to literally stop her from grinning while she was blasting away with the guns in super-intense scenes!
Even though she was occasionally goofing around, Hamilton’s Sarah Connor made a huge impact on how tough, badass ladies are portrayed in the movies.
She went from a timid server to a badass fighter in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and that was a game-changer for the genre.
The Terminator movies also made time travel popular and got us thinking about artificial intelligence and what it could do to us. All in all, the films set a benchmark in the action and sci-fi world.
Terminator: Dark Fate is about a group of new heroes who have to deal with a super deadly Terminator from the future who wants to kill a young lady named Dani Ramos.
But she’s not alone because a half-human, half-machine named Grace and Sarah Connor are there to help her and kick some Terminator butt.
They also get some help from a T-800 model (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who has been hanging out as a curtain guy named Carl, who joins their team.
The movie rocked the action scenes, and the cast did a great job, but it got mixed reactions from critics and didn’t make much money. Still, Terminator: Dark Fate is a treat for fans of the franchise, especially those who loved the first two movies.
It is a thrilling and action-filled adventure that brings back old memories while adding new and awesome characters.
