‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Trailer: Welcome To The Day After Judgment Day

A newTerminator: Dark Fatetrailer is here, and one thing’s for sure: it’s a lot better than the first trailer we got. There’s plenty of dark, violent action in every frame of this trailer. There’s also plenty ofLinda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor being pretty badass. Will that be enough to draw in audiences? Can the lopsidedTerminatorfranchise be redeemed? Watch the latestTerminator: Dark Fatetrailer below and decide for yourself.

TheTerminatorfranchise has had some problems, to say the least. AfterTerminator 2: Judgement, the series went off the rails.Terminator 3waskind ofwatchable, but nowhere near as good asT2. And then everything that came after was a complete mess. The sane thing to do would be to let the franchise die. But like the terminators themselves, this series just keeps coming. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop… ever.

Terminator: Dark Fatehas a few things going for it, though. For one,James Cameron, the guy who created all of this, to begin with, is back for the first time sinceT2. Cameron producedDark Fateand also helped come up with the story. In addition to Cameron, Linda Hamilton is back as well, and it’s certainly fun to see her in Sarah Connor mode again.

InDark Fate, set 27 years after the events ofTerminator 2: Judgment Day, “a new, modified liquid metal Terminator (Gabriel Luna) is sent from the future by Skynet in order to terminate Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes), a hybrid cyborg human (Mackenzie Davis), and her friends. Sarah Connor comes to their aid, as well as the original Terminator, for a fight for the future.” And of course,Arnold Schwarzeneggeris back as well, this time playing a terminator…named Carl. You read that right.

This trailer is a hell of a lot better than that first one. And I’m digging Mackenzie Davis in ass-kicker mode – that might be worth the price of admission alone. Still, I have shell-shock from all the other lousyTerminatorsequels. It seems Cameron and directorTim Millerboth do as well sinceDark Fateis completely ignoring every sequel afterT2.
