Terminator: Dark Fate time travel and ending explained

Terminator: Dark Fate has reinvented the Terminator franchise for the 21st century. Again.

 

After the disappointing critical and commercial outcome of Terminator: Genisys, a new trilogy was abandoned. But fast forward four years and we're back with another attempt at a new franchise.

 

And it's a good thing the newest addition to the series effectively ignores the third, fourth and fifth movies to bring Sarah and the T-800 back to the big screen.

 

The core of the Terminator franchise involves time travel and the shifting date of the inevitable, apocalyptic Judgment Day. And with time travel comes headache-inducing confusion. Read on for an explanation of how it all works in Terminator: Dark Fate.

I don't think you can sell time travel if you look like Linda in the future past.  Arnold, well it depends if penis grafts have been perfected, 100 years of steroids got to be serious no matter your physic and wallet.

It becomes impossible to sort out if it all could make sense in any theoretical universe, because they keep changing the rules of time travel and how time-streams work to make the next movie possible.  In the original movie you kind of can change the future, which is why the machines sent back a Terminator to kill Sarah Conor, but you kind of couldn't, because it failed and the original events happened anyway.  Then that kept changing over the next movies.

 

A deeper critique is that they keep re-hashing essentially the same movie plot over and over.  I guess if someone loved seeing it the first two or three times they might just keep on watching, or younger audiences grow up who may have missed some of it.  As long as they keep making money they'll keep producing versions.

Chill out, Dick wad. 

Wait, I haven't seen it yet. 

I am sure that some 'Timeless' episode, has already used the plot of Dark Fate by now...?

My standards have fallen, a lot, comes with the territory. I don't ask for much. Just looking to burn a couple hours in an air con theater. Does it entertain?! Is it going to keep me from walking out?

 

20 minutes?! ha - Looks like that is a no go ...
