Terminator: Dark Fate (4K UHD + Blu-ray + Digital)

I deliberately paid more to get the US version of this 4K UHD instead of the UK version because the US version is a Dolby Vision (the most advanced HDR) one. The video and audio quality is first class. I also love every Terminator movie. I have a full set of original USA MK speaker system (15 units of MK speakers including three S150) plus two MK 350 subwoofers to showcase every 4K UHD movie. By the way, when will movie lovers have a decent version of T2? The current one is a below par version.

Well, I thought I learned my lesson about listening to critics bombing a movie. I was wrong, I judged this excellent movie by them again and from what others had said. I watched it (finally) from beginning to end without interputions and I'm glad I did. The movie was refreshing to see and the new characters made it exciting all over again. What can you say, Arnold was Arnold in the role made for him. Older but more sure of himself with respects to the part. Linda was still a bad ass with weapons and cocky, lending her experience to the given situations as the movie progressed. Mackenize, Natalia and Diego were refreshing to see and set in Mexico adds to a different lineage to the story. Just to add, there was NO reference to illegal aliens getting free anything, it was just part of the story! ( nor was there any preaching about them staying here.) I liked very much, sometimes it helps an established francise to relocate to bring interest and a fresh perspective back for the fans. Being bi-lingual, I found it easy to follow the scenes in Mexico with Grace, Dani and Diego. Too bad Diego's part was cut short, there could've been room for him in another movie. Dani and Grace have a good rapport going after Grace proves who she is. The trust is built and the story grows and moves along quite well. There is great potential for this Dark Fate team to grow if they decide to pick it up again. I really hope so, it would nice if "they'll be back."

I'm not going to sit here and individually dissect the popular arguments passed around by detractors. I'm not. This is one of those cases where it seems as though the people who hated the film were probably halfway to disliking it before they even sat down in the theater, and there's SO much criticism out there that reeks of the regurgitated loathing you see in unpoliced comments sections. There's no fighting that, and, if you're already determined to dislike the film, I'm never going to change your mind. That's okay, though, and you can still read my review even if you're already certain that you'll disagree with it. I'm writing this because *I* enjoyed the film, and the mere idea that other people might also enjoy it keeps my fingers moving. Terminator 2 (practically everyone's favorite Terminator film - even mine) has sat, unmoved and unmolested, on the same dusty pedestal for a good many years, and none of its relatively ill-fated sequels have so much as managed to nudge it. I wouldn't call it perfect, but it certainly left an impression. It's a movie about time traveling killer robots (excuse me, cyborgs) sent naked into the past to either protect or kill someone in particular. It sounds kind of silly when thus reduced, but it's fun, it makes you the good kind of popcorn-scarfing nervous, and the action leaves you both wishing for more and waiting for the next merciful lull. It's not overly different from its similarly fun and silly-in-concept (I reiterate: time traveling killer robots, for goodness sake) predecessor that gave birth to the endoskeleton-sporting series. That's right: I'm still talking about the ever untouchable Terminator 2; one of my all-time favorite films. No, I'm not trying to tear down T2 in order to elevate Dark Fate, but I neither consider T2 as perfect as its fans proclaim nor Dark Fate as irredeemably terrible as, well, T2's fans believe. If you've never seen the other Terminator films, I'm not sure why you'd be compelled to watch and love or hate Dark Fate, but I can claim, with some measure of confidence, that the people spitting the harshest venom are the same people who downright adore T2. It's a great film, and you should watch it - even if it's for the twentieth time. But here's the thing: Dark Fate isn't really that astronomically different from T2, and I think what differences do exist serve the narrative rather than condemn it. Dark Fate is a great film, and you should watch it - even if only once. I wouldn't call it perfect, but here I am writing a review about it. It's a movie about time traveling killer robots (excuse me, cyborgs) sent naked into the past to either protect or kill someone in particular. It sounds kind of silly when thus reduced, but it's fun, it makes you the good kind of popcorn-scarfing nervous, and the action leaves you both wishing for more and waiting for the next merciful lull. (And now you see what I'm doing.) Dark Fate's greatest sin is not its writing, its acting, or its reasoning, and let's face it: the series never stood on an unshakable foundation of logic to begin with. It's been sitting on top of an inextricable paradox (utterly fundamental to the plot) since the first film, and some of the fingers you could point at Dark Fate could probably be pointed, with similar justifications, at the series as a whole. Dark Fate says, "You remember that paradox? You like that paradox?" while tossing its smouldering carcass into an abyss typically suited for the victims of countless creative retcons. That probably sounds like a criticism - it's not. It is, in my opinion, the single best thing about Dark Fate's story direction. Yes, it does a lot of the same things the other films have done, but each and every successive film has parroted moments and themes and dialogue and story lines from the first. Even T2 was essentially more of the same, but it tossed in enough uniquely worthwhile moments and enough twists to make it feel different or new. I appreciate the different path (still operating within the usual confines and parameters of Terminator films) that Dark Fate took. Some people probably interpreted it as more of a slap in the face or a blow to the gut, but (reviewer pauses to access a cumulative emotional databank) yeah, that's Terminator. It's a series built upon widespread death and doom; a glimpsed future of skulls crushed underfoot and a tireless, nigh invincible enemy. It's as dismal as it is horrifying, and that's the idea. Because then you introduce this little fluttering insect called hope, and things suddenly get interesting. Dark Fate ticks all of the same boxes that the other films have ticked. If you hate the first five minutes of Dark Fate, I applaud you for having watched any of the other films for any longer. If you like explosive action, moments of tense uncertainty, or strong characters being strong (and brave and foolish and angry and sad - and human) set before a backdrop of ridiculous, gloomy sci-fi, you had ought to stay for the minutes that come after. There were moments in Dark Fate that affected me as deeply or as viscerally as a well-timed thumbs-up or a nerve-racking semi-and-motorcycle chase, and I got to enjoy them while watching faces new and old. I could go and watch T2 right now (it's a great film - I probably will at some point), but avoiding Dark Fate altogether would only have been my loss. Despite my enduring affection for the previous films, I'm neither angry nor disappointed; I'm just kind of hungry, to tell it true. You see, I didn't stock up on popcorn beforehand, and there isn't a lobby nearby peddling butter-soaked popped kernels. I paid somewhere around twice as much for admission, and I had only my fingers to chew on for the duration. But, against all odds projected on the internets, I had fun. Was it T2 levels of fun? Why the heck would I care? It was a new ride, and I was glad to be on it.

Love Terminator films and I enjoy buying blurays to watch whenever I feel like it.

他の国のリージョンのを売って.... 皆さん観れてるんですか？

Soy fan de los clásicos del cine y cuando supe que Paramount Pictures había restaurado en 4K Ultra HD "Terminator: Dark Fate", la compré de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, lo mejor es que si traía subtítulos en español, pero el único inconveniente es que ya no traía el Slipcover de colección.

This is a four and a half star movie.... I've read so many bad reviews about this it's scary. I was a teenager when The terminator came out.... This was a b rated movie at the time and became a classic. I loved it as it was sci fi action. The stars and director at the time said it was a love story, and if you watch it esp Cameron's uncut version of is. T2 was amazing at the time, special effects, action, all the stars back including a ghostly Carl. But it Rewrote the ending of the first one in what it did..... Did we question. No w we loved it for what is was, which was popcorn best, ground-breaking no as Cameron had used the effects in The Abyss, which like the first terminator very few saw at the cibema...... In recent years it kinda got lost for what the original was..... Human emotions, love, sacrifice, Fate, no fate, a will to live, a denial... Etc wrapped up in Sci Fi.. So Terminator Dark Fate.... It brings back Cameron.... Hamilton.... Arnie..... It brings back a love lost, a love for a family/friends, human emotions, fate, no fate, a will to live, a denial.... So tick.. It adds revenge, a ghost from the past, sorrows for loss in a bottle, an anger for sacrifice, a remorse, a will to earn forgiveness without asking for it.... Plus the basic ghostly copy of a younger Sarah model who looses much, and realises she has so much more to loose... In effect this is Cameron.... This is a complex story that clearly continues on From T2... At first did I like the start...hmmmm. But in reflection if T2 happened after T1 then it's only logical that the opening happened, which sets up a human story.. In fact you could argue a role reversal for the two main stayers. It doesn't take the action long... And if we look at the world to day, why can't the T2 ending result in this. The two and a half from the future are brilliant, and it's good to see the medical weakness in one of them. The chases are brilliant as usual. Hamilton is brilliant as a n alcohol fuelled hunter... With visions of grandeur. Arnie is brilliant... Way more lines than T2 and T1 together. But it works...seeing him talk about carpets and draps is so funny. But the nod to Carl is a nice touch by the terminator (and cameron) By the end I was drained, entertained and got everything I have enjoyed from Cameron's action films... If you liked True Lies, Aliens, and T1 and T2, we're around in the 80s.. Then this is for you. If you believe that T2 is untouchable then don't watch this. But I am sure if you're a sci fi fan, an action Fan, or Terminator fan you will love this. Put it on, grab some popcorn and switch off and Get on board Cameron's action train...

Sòlo la pedi para tener la colecciòn. Aùn no la miro, pero parece interesante hayan reunido a Linda Blair y a Arnold.
