Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)


Even before the opening credits begin, the filmmakers commit the most atrocious sin in the Terminator universe. It's a risk that doesn't pay off and the movie never manages to recover from it. 
A direct sequel to Terminator 2 that ignores the rest of the entries in the series. It's a cash grab, plain and simple. Shame on James Cameron for putting his name on this. As if he didn't condemn Alien³ for doing the exact same thing. Ironically, it may have killed off the film franchise for good.
Linda Hamilton and Arnold are back, but you know what? I just didn't give a shit.

1½ contractually mandated appearances out of 5
