Movie Thread

Everything about it (from the illegal Mexican savior, future is female, no difference between the sexes, motherhood is dumb) make it come off like a deliberate "fuck you" to America and Western values. Soviet propagandists couldn't have made a more offensive movie.

Terminator: Dark Fate is bombing here in America. Once again, "get woke, go broke" proves to be true. It looks like this movie series is..........terminated.

Don't you worry. It'll be back, for as long as Arnie is alive.

The primary issue here is that every facet of the script feels like the screenwriters wrote a first draft and the filmmakers and producers just decided to roll with that first draft. There are ideas that had potential: Juanita and Sarah bond over a sense that they've shared a unique experience (being hunted by these fucking robots) and that's why they care about each other, and Movieblob fetish lesbo girl is honestly completely wasted. She is a third wheel until they need to use a thing she has to kill the ICEinator at the end of the movie, contributing close to nothing of merit to the plot. You could have made her necessary to the story, if the writers had taken the time to actually revise the script instead of just hurrying it down the production line, but as it stands now she's facilitating the same role that Sarah is and could have been cut wholesale.

I think they were too busy telling the internet about how she will make sexist trolls shit their pants with her stronkness.

The only movies I'm seeing in the theater for the rest of the year are:

Midway

Ford v Ferrari (even if it does have that faggot Matt Damon playing the American hero Carrol Shelby)

I'm going to assume that you saw Dark Fate out of morbid curiosity.

Yeah

The franchise should've ended after Salvation. (Really T2 but whatever).
If that movie exists in an 'alternate timeline' now, fine by me.

I love how everyone thought James Cameron's involvement would make it great. This is the same guy who's spending 12 years making a terrible sequel--and three more on the way-- and pretending to be a Native American.
Just like his longtime rival Lucas, the man went off the deep end a while ago, and isnt coming back.

It's just that these famous names still have power over the feeble-minded. It's kinda like how tabletopfags are still willing to throw thousands of dollars at Monte Cook despite him being a shit game designer who has spend the last couple years becoming pretentious as fuck and/or batshit insane.

I just realized this. In Terminator: Dark Fate....

SpoilerShow

Arnold is taking care of a woman and her kid. He's not even in a physical relationship with her or anything. So, on top of all of Dank Fate's sins, they've actually managed to turn Arnold Schwarzenegger into a cuck.

Fortunately, this movie has bombed opening weekend and will lose well over 100 million dollars if not more.

Nor is the movie likely to be rescued by the foreign box office, where it finished Sunday with a global cume of $101.9 million, including a soft China debut of $28 million.

A direct sequel to Cameron's Terminator: Judgment Day (1991), the R-rated Dark Fate is directed by Deadpool helmer Tim Miller and cost a hefty $185 million to produce before marketing. Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna and Diego Boneta also star.

Terminator: Dark Fate, in addition to putting the franchise back on ice, is almost certain to lose tens of millions for partners Skydance, Paramount and Disney/Fox (Disney inherited the movie and is handling its release overseas). China's Tencent has a smaller stake.

Now that's my kind of Judgment Day.
