In this decade of Hollywood bankruptcy, we have seen post-movie replays and re-releases, but we have not seen a series that corrects its trajectory, offering an up-to-date and apologetic film to its audiences.
It is not possible to speak of Terminator: Dark Fate, the sixth film in the Terminator series, without mentioning the beginning of the series. In 1984, seven years before the release of Part 2, which officially launched the Terminator series, and turned into a classic action / science fiction masterpiece, it is important to note that the first film was only a second class project set after the end of the world, dealing with human conflict And machinery.
The film took its title from its main and evil character, and we have to admit that part of the film's ingenuity was to transform former Austrian bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger from a man without expressions into an actor, one of the most beautiful jokes of the 1980s.
Created to impress, the Terminator: DarkFit is back in the atmosphere of the first and second films and employs some of the elements that have made James Cameron's masterpiece a memorable classic. Dark Fit cancels the last three films, and declares himself the third part in the series and next to Terminator: Judgment Day 1991.
The film was directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool director) and witnesses the return of James Cameron, the author of the series, in the producer's seat for the first time since 1991. As if the film tells its fans: "This is the long-awaited third part."
The year 2020 Dani (Natalie Reese) is a girl working with her brother in a factory in Mexico, and needs protection, as Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) was in the first film, because it would presumably give birth to the leader of human resistance against machines in the future.
The new character Grace (McKenzie Davis) sent from the future in 2042 to protect Danny, as was Kyle Reese in the first film, when he came to protect Sarah. But the difference is that Grace is not a terminator, but an improved humane with machines planted inside them and turned them into a fighting creature.
We have the wicked movie Terminator (Gabriel Luna), which is like the iconic role played by Schwarzenegger in the first film and the horrendous Robert Patrick in the second film. Luna performs the role with a subtle smile as a Terminator enjoys the nature of his destructive mission. Punk Terminator here is not just a clone of the second film, but a new update, it has the ability to change its shape as it wants. The more it breaks, it automatically recovers differently than we have seen in previous films, as well as its new ability to separate itself from the human body, which it hides whenever that body is stuck in trouble.
"Terminator: Dark Feet" is a politically-motivated, up-to-date film that updates the idea of the film in line with today's ideas, and in line with the waves of political corrections that have turned Hollywood upside down. The film is about an artificial intelligence system that turns into a fascist force aimed at destroying the human civilization that created it. At the same time, he has a scene on the US-Mexican border of an officer who captures Sarah Connor (Hamilton), even though she is a white American, and says, "I'll put you in a cage," a clear reference to Donald Trump's closed-door policy.
According to the film, Skynet, the criminal's computer, was defeated in the future, but the characters in the film face a new threat: Legen, an evil artificial intelligence system that replaced the former, the same thing!
The new version has turned into a completely feminist. We have a trio of women: Grace collaborates with Sarah Connor, the protagonist of the first two films, to protect a Mexican girl, later joined by former Carl O Terminator T800 (Schwarzenegger).
Davis leads the battle in the first quarter of the film against the awful Luna. Davis plays the role played by Hamilton in the second film, dressed like her clothes. Entering the second quarter, Hamilton appears and grabs the spotlight from Davis because of her classic role and expertise in it.
Hamilton's role is well-updated in the context of Terminator's world, seeing her outlaws and chasing the T800, which killed her son at the start of the movie in 1998. Hamilton's entry into a beautiful show scene sparked the film, proving that only the classic elements of the film are the engine of the film, not the New.
But the car does not go without horses, and the car does not move without wheels, and Terminator limp despite the presence of a trio of women against the horrifying Luna, and is somewhat sleepy. But when the face of the icon of Schwarzenegger appears on the screen, the film flares up, becoming more beautiful and bursting with action scenes led by the classic duo Schwarzenegger / Hamilton, a clear reference and tribute to the series that launched their stardom.
Despite Miller's attempt to balance the trio with Schwarzenegger, Davis is completely lost between the experience of Hamilton and the stellar reign of California's 38th giant, and the old German muscular hero. The classic duo grabs the limelight completely after 80 minutes to the end of the film, and Miller leads beautiful action scenes from behind the scenes, wrapped up in the final battle against Luna.
The viewer knows who will win, but tell the series fans that the famous phrase "I'll be back", which Schwarzenegger says, will be said otherwise. Hamilton's sad death of her son in the film and the former Schwarzenegger Terminator remorseful of past actions, and his drift in human civilization after the defeat of Skynet, serve as the emotional volcano of the film and its engines. Some might ask: What distinguishes Terminator from Marvel and The Transformers, all about robots or iron machines fighting against the characters? Why did Marvel marginalize a sizeable segment of the audience that doesn't find what you're watching, while this slide doesn't mind watching Terminator monsters? The first is the rise of storyboard movies like never before in the history of cinema, which has not existed for 28 years. Today these films occupy nine to 10 vacancies annually in cinemas. Second, superhero rarely makes classics. Terminator produces one to two times per decade, with two films (the first and second) appearing on the lists of film classics.

When the face of the icon «Schwarzenegger» appears on the screen, the film completely ignites and becomes prettier.
It is as if the film tells its fans: "We admit that we made a mistake in the last three films, which were dry, unconvincing action films. We hope you forget them. This is the long-awaited third part."
