Terminator: Dark Fate's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
Whether Terminator: Dark Fate is the last chapter in this story or the first in an all-new franchise is, for now, irrelevant. The film works either way, bringing the tale of the first two films to a satisfying conclusion while reintroducing the classic storyline, in exciting new ways, to an excited new audience. It?s a breathtaking blockbuster, and a welcome return to form.
Empire
Easily the third-best Terminator film, which is more of a compliment than it sounds. It?s great to have Hamilton back in this role, but she?s ably matched by Reyes and Davis.
Los Angeles Times
Miller, like most directors, isn?t remotely in Cameron?s league as a maestro of action technique. But he gives the visual-effects-encrusted combat scenes a nicely visceral intensity, with just the right ratio of spatial coherence to logistical chaos.
Variety
[It is] designed to impress you with its scale and visual effects, but it?s also a film that returns, in good and gratifying ways, to the smartly packaged low-down genre-thriller classicism that gave the original 'Terminator' its kick.
Cinemanía
Surprise, 'Terminator: Dark Fate' works. Honestly. In his tribute, it works by mild (...) a pure-action movie, with scenes shot with rhythm and ambitiously designed
The Guardian
The Terminator franchise has come clanking robotically into view once again with its sixth film ? it absolutely will not stop ? not merely repeating itself but somehow repeating the repetitions.
El Mundo
An effective action film where Miller demonstrates his skills to corograph slaps and an atrocious sentimentality for sales, has already been said, nostalgia. But of carafe.
New York Post
Just another bad sequel (...) Giving us happy memories of the first two films ? some of the best of their genre ? is what hurts this impostor the most.
