Terminator: Dark Fate [Blu-Ray] [Region Free] (English audio. English subtitles)

The five star rating is for the delivery service, as I got my Blu-Ray in-tact, in one piece and very early. I was expecting on April 2nd, but to my surprise it came the day after I ordered it and I didn't even pay for express delivery. I couldn't believe how fast it got to my door. That's why I ordered two more blu-rays. Five star service... The film on the other hand is not five stars, it's good, it's entertaining and is definitely an action packed sci-fi romp. But this is still a far cry from topping the original two from 1984 and 1991, however it does trump the last couple films of the franchise. I'm really glad to see James Cameron producing and to see the R rating again but it could've been better, but it's a worthy addition to the franchise which a lot of people say should've been terminated a long time ago. But not me. I'm intrigued to what they'll do next.

Item as described came on time thanks Amazon

I came to this as an Arnie fan of his whole career and owner of all the discs of his whole career. I hadn't rushed to the cinema to see it as I now prefer watching all films in the comfort of my own home.I was a bit concerned at the negative reviews but approached my viewing with as open a mind as possible and on balance I think it is an excellent if not outstanding film.My criteria for a good movie is that it must absorb me for its entire length, it should entertain me, probably make me laugh and cry in equal measure and I should want to watch it again.As an Arnie fan there is a good chance it will be ok but I will qualify this to deal with all the negative reviews.It was great to see both Arnie and Linda H reprising their roles albeit in the guise of the characters from T2. I thought the supporting cast were ok but the bad terminator was ,I feel miss cast which was a shame. Most of the first hour consisted of what I would call production violence like a computer game and wasn't particularly valuable. from the moment Arnold' s character appears as the humanized older man, the whole film shifted to a higher level and the story became far more meaningful with the inevitable T2 type heroic ending. I appreciate the need for the first half of the film but we probably could have got there much quicker and still enjoyed the main , second half.Folk who have complained about the re writing of the whole terminator concept should try and understand that it is only Science fiction and is only an entertainment . In the end does it really matter if the characters are interesting and I would suggest that both of the original ones are and continue to be so.As long as the Arnold character continues to appear in films I will continue to watch them and no doubt enjoy them, if not take any such stuff too seriously!!!Definitely worth watching!!

Terminator: Dark Fate basically renewed my faith in this completely. I had heard about it, but refused to touch it, for the simple reason that Terminator 2 put me off the entire thing. It was nothing more than a special effect show, with a few impressive scenes, however, that does not make a great movie and Sarah Connor had none of the endearing qualities from the original. She had just become arrogant and self-centred, interested only in abusing Dyson. Oh, leave him alone, you're not the centre of the universe, woman! Even her son had a pop back at her. It put me off completely and I lost interest in any Terminator film after that. I find it annoying that the sequel is held in such high regard, when I think it's the worst one of the lot, but hey, to each their own I guess.This is partly why Terminator: Dark Fate is such a pleasure to rave about. I think it is possibly the best one so far, even better than Terminator 3, which thankfully didn't have Sarah in it, but it did have a female terminator, the gorgeous Kristanna Loken, so it renewed my faith in it a little. Then this one comes along and we have Sarah back in it, but her son does get terminated and she is kind of on the back burner and the new super-soldier, who is keeping the target safe doesn't like her. She can join the club.The plot is decent and it has some brilliant sequences and is terrifically directed by Tim Miller. I know that Cameron returns as producer for this, but I couldn't care less about him and he is responsible for the overrated sequel, so I owe him nothing. Abuse this review all you like by the way if you want, I don't care.The best thing about this movie for me is Mackenzie Davis, who is excellent as the super-soldier sent back to help the girl saviour, Dani and she has some great battles with the new terminator, played by Gabriel Luna. The battle at the end too, between the deadly new terminator and the others, the super-soldier, Grace, Dani, the old terminator and Sarah, is just brilliant.It gives me great pleasure to say that I loved this from start to finish and now have it on Blu ray. I have no time for the reviews that slam it, there's nothing wrong with it at all. Pity they couldn't have slammed the sequel like that. Just goes to show, you can't rely on other reviews really, always make your own mind up.So glad I gave it a chance. Go, Grace!
