The latest movie in the Terminator series has been seen by some fans and critics and they have taken to the social media to say what they thought of the action sci-fi film directed by Tim Miller.
Terminator: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator: Salvation (2009), and Terminator: Genisys (2015) were all disappointing in one way or the other as they failed to live up the expectations of movie audiences. The first two movies in the franchise (The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day) are considered two of the greatest sci-fi films of all-time. Directed by James Cameron, they were masterpieces with never-before-seen action scenes and pace-setting special effects boosted by the machismo of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton’s touching performance.
Terminator: Dark Fate sees the return of both Schwarzenegger (really old here) and Hamilton and it is the latter’s performance that is getting singled out by those who have seen the movie, which appears to be the best since the second in the franchise as the reviews have been mostly positive. Check them out below:
#TerminatorDarkFate is better than you think it’s going to be. Its trying hard to be the Force Awakens of Terminator movies, and mostly succeeds. But it’s lacking Cameron’s innovation, evolution and directing. Arnold is fantastic, the best of his post T2 Terminator appearances.

I was skeptical of TERMINATOR: DARK FATE. Thought the trailers were not great. But I would up enjoying it quite a bit, and the difference maker (vs the other post T2 sequels) is Linda Hamilton. It’s always been HER story and Hamilton adds the needed weight here.

Is #TerminatorDarkFate the best since T2? Yup. Linda Hamilton’s return makes a BIG difference, Mackenzie Davis kicks all the ass, & Natalia Reyes is an excellent anchor. Gabriel Luna’s Rev-9 is a winner too. Physicality, VFX, fights – all spot on! Glad they gave this another go. pic.twitter.com/4Q1FNN49Hw

TERMINATOR’s thought of as Arnold’s franchise. DARK FATE makes it clear he wasn’t the key ingredient that made it work. It was Linda Hamilton. She’s incredible in this, and the movie’s very solid. (I recently defended all the TERMINATOR sequels, so make of this what you will.) pic.twitter.com/3JSsac7LrL

#TerminatorDarkFate is easily the best Terminator movie since T2. Has some fantastic action and loved how the film features 3 female protagonists that all kick-ass. So awesome seeing Linda Hamilton back as Sarah Connor. pic.twitter.com/15Yb6cC18W

PSA for my queer ladies: you are not prepared for how much Mackenzie Davis is going to fuvk up your life in #TerminatorDarkFate. I would die for Grace and you would too, you just don’t know it yet. pic.twitter.com/7jhzvjYvOf

Oh the film, you ask? It’s solid. Super well articulated action. Linda Hamilton is aces. Easily the best sequel since T2. #DarkFate takes The Force Awakens’ “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality to Cameron’s films and turns out it ain’t broke.

Terminator: Dark Fate is basically Terminator: The Force Awakens. A satisfying, exciting reboot that’s essentially the best parts of T1 & T2 in a blender. Davis, Reyes & Hamilton are excellent, the action wows & while it’s familiar, it’s easily the best T3 yet. Terminator is back pic.twitter.com/W1emrXIq5C

Excited to report Terminator: Dark Fate is the best sequel in the franchise since T2. It's a "return to basics" movie — reminiscent of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in that way — but the new heroes are fantastic, it's great to see the legends kicking ass, and the action is great. pic.twitter.com/aAHSXhFyA4
