Terminator: Dark Fate is a 2019 American science fiction action film directed by Tim Miller, with a screenplay by David Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Billy Ray,[6] from a story by James Cameron, Charles H. Eglee, Josh Friedman, Goyer and Rhodes. Cameron and David Ellison are the film's producers. It is the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise and a direct sequel to The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), while Cameron described Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015) and the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008–2009) as occurring in alternate timelines.[7]

The film stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger returning in their roles of Sarah Connor and the T-800 "Terminator", respectively, reuniting after 28 years, includes Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, and Gabriel Luna as new characters.

Set 25 years after the events of Terminator 2, the film sees the machines sending an advanced Terminator (Luna), designated Rev-9, back in time to 2020 to eliminate Dani Ramos (Reyes), whose fate is connected to the future. The Resistance also send Grace (Davis), an augmented soldier, back in time to defend Dani, while they are joined by Sarah Connor (Hamilton) and an aging T-800 Terminator (Schwarzenegger).

Filming for Terminator: Dark Fate took place from June to November 2018 in Hungary, Spain and the United States. Distributed by Paramount Pictures in North America, Tencent Pictures in China, and Buena Vista International in other territories, the film was theatrically released in the United States on November 1, 2019. It received mixed reviews from critics, with many considering it as a return to form for the series, and superior to recent Terminator sequels, but criticism for being derivative of the first two films.

Plot

In 1998, three years after averting the threat of Skynet, Sarah and John Connor live a life of peace, oblivious that Skynet sent multiple Terminators back through time prior to its erasure. They are soon attacked by a T-800 Terminator, which shoots John dead before disappearing.

Twenty-two years later, an advanced Terminator, the Rev-9, is sent back in time to Mexico City, to murder Daniella "Dani" Ramos, while a cybernetically-enhanced soldier, Grace, is sent to protect her. The Rev-9, disguised as her father, infiltrates the assembly plant where Dani and her brother Diego work, but is thwarted by Grace, who escapes with the siblings. The Rev-9, revealing its ability to split itself into its cybernetic endoskeleton and shapeshifting liquid metal exterior, goes after them, killing Diego and cornering Grace and Dani. However, Sarah arrives and temporarily disables the Terminator with explosives.

Dani, Grace, and Sarah retreat to a motel where Grace recovers. Sarah reveals that she found them because in the years since John's death, she has received mysterious messages detailing the locations of arriving Terminators, each ending with "For John". Grace notes that neither Skynet nor John exists in her alternate timeline. Instead, humanity is threatened by an AI called Legion, designed for cyberwarfare. Legion controlled servers worldwide and, in desperation, humanity tried to neutralize it with nuclear devices, resulting in a nuclear holocaust and the AI building a global network of machines to exterminate the human survivors.

Grace traces Sarah's messages to Laredo, Texas as they evade the Rev-9 and the authorities. Arriving at the source, they discover the T-800 that murdered John. Stranded in an altered timeline and left purposeless after completing its objective, it began to learn from humanity and eventually developed a conscience, taking the name "Carl" and adopting a human family. Learning of how its own actions had affected Sarah, it decided to send her messages to give her purpose. Carl bids his family farewell and tells them to escape, anticipating that the Rev-9 will arrive. Sarah reluctantly agrees to work together for Dani's sake. The group then makes a plan to ambush and destroy the Rev-9, and Dani receives tactical weapons training.

In order to do so, they seek out a military grade EMP from an acquaintance of Sarah. The Rev-9 catches up with them, forcing them to steal a C-5 Galaxy to escape, though the EMP is destroyed in the resulting shootout. During the flight, Grace further reveals that Dani is the future commander of the Resistance, as well as Grace's rescuer, and Sarah and Carl realize that they are fated to meet Grace and Dani. The Rev-9 boards their airplane by using a KC-10 Extender, forcing the group to jump from the plane into a river near a hydro-power plant.

Wounded, the group makes a stand inside the power plant. In the ensuing battle, Carl and Grace force the Rev-9 into a spinning turbine and destroy it's liquid exterior, causing an explosion. This incapacitates most of the group and mortally wounds Grace. Before dying, Grace tells Dani to use her power source to destroy the Rev-9's damaged endoskeleton. The Rev-9 gets the upper hand, but Carl restrains it, allowing Dani to stab it with Grace's power source. Carl drags itself and the Rev-9 over a ledge and tells Sarah "For John", right before the power core explodes, destroying them both.

Sometime later, Dani and Sarah watch over a young Grace at a park, the former determined to avert Grace's death. The pair drives off, with Sarah saying Dani needs to get ready for the future.

Cast

  • Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, the mother of John Connor, the former future leader of the Human Resistance in the war against the machines (Skynet). Now a battle-hardened older woman and left alone after her son's death, Sarah hunts and kills Terminators to prevent Judgment Day and forestall the coming conflict.[8] Due to her previous encounters with the machines, she is at odds with Carl and Grace. Being responsible for altering the future and after learning of Dani's destiny leading a new Resistance against Skynet's successor Legion, she prepares her as she did John.
    • Stuntwoman Jessi Fisher served as Hamilton's stunt actress and body double for young Sarah Connor, while CGI was applied to recreate Hamilton's facial likeness from the 1990s in the opening scene.
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger as Terminator T-800 (Model 101) / "Carl", an aging Terminator built by Skynet, and one of several sent back in time to kill John Connor.[9] Having completed its mission, it gained autonomy from its original programming and integrated into human society; moving to Laredo, Texas, marrying a human, and raising a stepson.[10] It later joins forces with Sarah and Grace to help protect Dani Ramos from Legion's Terminators. Though Sarah continues to hate Carl for her son's death, Grace and Dani respect and trust the old machine after learning its efforts to make amends to Sarah, and Dani befriends Carl.
    • Brett Azar served as a body double for the young T-800, while CGI was applied to recreate Schwarzenegger's facial likeness from the 1990s in the opening scene. Azar had a similar role in Terminator Genisys.[11]
  • Mackenzie Davis as Grace, a soldier from the year 2042 taken in by Resistance commander Daniella Ramos as a teenager. Trained in military combat by Daniella, Grace was converted into a cyborg to save her life after she sustained fatal stab wounds following a security detail for the critically wounded commander. Augmented with Legion's technology, she can sense its machines when nearby (but not Skynet's due to the differences of the technologies). After the Resistance won the war, Daniella send Grace to protect her younger self from Legion's new advanced Terminator prototype.[12] She then learns about the initial timeline after meeting Sarah Connor and Skynet's surviving T-800 unit Carl. She and Sarah share a mutual distrust, due in parts because the latter sees her as a novice and being part-machine. Despite knowing that Carl is a Terminator and what he did to Sarah's son, she trusts him as a comrade and friend, mainly because of her fascination with his behavioral developments and awareness that he is not one of Legion's machines.
    • Stephanie Gil portrays Grace as a child.[13]
  • Natalia Reyes as Daniella "Dani" Ramos, a young woman targeted for termination by the new advanced Terminator prototype Rev-9.[14][15] Dani was initially believed by Sarah Connor to be, like herself, the destined mother of the Resistance leader. It is revealed later that Dani is fated to succeed Sarah's deceased son John Connor, as the founding commander of the Resistance in the war against the machines (Legion) and lead them to victory; with Sarah as her mentor. The Resistance Commander, having survived the events that her younger self is going through, has foreknowledge that Grace would meet Sarah Connor shortly arriving in the past and instructs her to seek Skynet's T-800 for aids by tatooing its location's coordinates on her.
  • Gabriel Luna as Terminator Rev-9, an advanced Terminator prototype that originated from Legion and was sent back in time to terminate Dani. While he has a traditional solid endoskeleton covered with a "mimetic polyalloy", Rev-9 also possesses the ability to separate these two components into two separate, fully autonomous Terminator units.[16] In addition, the Rev-9 has the ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to a human such as emotions; outclassing most of Skynet's Terminators in infiltration and while behaving sociopathically.
  • Diego Boneta[17] as Diego Ramos, Dani's younger brother.[15]
  • Tristán Ulloa as Felipe Gandal, Dani's uncle and a border coyote.
  • Alicia Borrachero as Alicia, Carl's wife.[18]
  • Manuel Pacific as Mateo, Carl's step-son.[19]
  • Enrique Arce[20] as Mr. Ramos, the father of Dani and Diego.
  • Fraser James as Dean, a United States Air Force intelligence officer and acquaintance of Sarah.
  • Tom Hopper as William Hardell, Grace's commanding officer in the Resistance.[21]
  • Steven Cree as Rigby[21]
  • Stuart McQuarrie as Craig, Dani and Diego's work supervisor.

Jude Collie serves as a body double for young John Connor, while CGI was applied to recreate Edward Furlong's facial likeness from the 1990s in the opening scene.[22][23][24][25] Aaron Kunitz provided the voice of young John.[26] Furlong gave a motion capture performance of his face and is credited as "John Connor reference".[27]

Special effects supervisor Neil Corbould has a cameo appearance as a man whose backyard barbecue is interrupted by the Rev-9.

Production

Development

By December 2013, Skydance Productions was planning for Terminator Genisys to be the start of a new trilogy of films.[28][29] The Genisys sequels were scheduled for release on May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018.[30][31] For the second film in the planned trilogy, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was to reprise his role as the T-800.[32] Terminator Genisys was produced by Skydance founder David Ellison, and was released in 2015, but development of the planned trilogy was stalled after the film's disappointing box-office performance.[33][34][35][36] Dana Goldberg, the chief creative officer for Skydance, said in October 2015 that she "wouldn't say [the franchise is] on hold, so much as re-adjusting". According to Goldberg, despite Genisys' disappointing domestic performance, the company was happy with its worldwide numbers and still intended to make new films. Production of a sequel would begin no earlier than 2016 because the company planned market research to determine its direction after Genisys.[35] The Genisys sequels were ultimately cancelled.[37][38]

Ellison felt that Terminator Genisys could have been better, so he recruited franchise creator James Cameron to produce the subsequent film with him in hopes of creating a better film.[39][40] Cameron was intrigued by Ellison's proposal to make the film a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, ignoring the events of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009) and Terminator Genisys.[40][41] Other filmmakers on the project had suggested making the film without Schwarzenegger, but Cameron disliked the idea as he and Schwarzenegger were friends.[42] Cameron agreed to produce the film on the condition that Schwarzenegger be involved in it.[43][44] As producer, Cameron was involved in pre-production and script work.[40]

Cameron was involved with the project as of January 2017, and Ellison was searching for a writer among science fiction authors with the intention that Tim Miller direct it. The film was reportedly a reboot, suggesting the Terminator Genisys storyline had been discarded.[45] Later in the month, Ellison said there would be an announcement regarding the future of the franchise before the end of the year, and that it was going to be in a direction that would provide "the continuation of what the fans really wanted since T2".[46] Initially, Miller and Ellison had talked about Miller directing a new Terminator film after completing Deadpool 2.[47][48] When Miller left the Deadpool 2 project in October 2016,[49] he took on the Terminator film as his next project instead.[47][48] In July 2017, Cameron said that he was working with Ellison to set up a trilogy of films and supervise it. The intention is for Schwarzenegger to be involved to some extent, but also introduce new characters and "pass the baton".[50]

Pre-production

On September 12, 2017, Skydance Media confirmed that Miller will direct the new Terminator film,[51] which was initially scheduled for release on July 26, 2019.[52] The film's budget was approximately $185-$196 million, mostly split three ways between Skydance, Paramount Pictures, and 20th Century Fox.[53] China-based Tencent Pictures joined the project as a co-financier in April 2018,[2] ultimately financing 10 percent of the budget.[4] Tencent also handled the film's distribution, marketing and merchandising in China.[2]

Writing

Before screenwriters were hired, Miller requested that a group of novelists be consulted on how to reinvent the franchise.[54] Among the novelists were Joe Abercrombie, Neal Asher, Greg Bear, Warren Ellis, and Neal Stephenson.[48] Abercrombie suggested the idea of a female character who is half human and half machine, forming the origins of the character Grace.[54] A human-machine character was previously featured in Terminator Salvation.[55]

The film's story was conceived by Miller, Cameron, and Ellison, and a team of writers was hired to write the script. The team included Charles H. Eglee; David S. Goyer and his writing partner, Justin Rhodes; and Josh Friedman, creator of the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.[40][56][57][48] Cameron and the writers watched the Terminator sequels that came after his initial films, and it was determined that the storylines of the later films were too complex when it came to time travel.[40][41] Weeks were spent working on the story, which was eventually envisioned as a new Terminator film trilogy.[40][58][59] Goyer wrote a draft for the first film in the trilogy that would ultimately become Terminator: Dark Fate.[48]

Goyer moved on to other projects,[48] and by November 2017, Billy Ray was brought in to polish the script.[56] Ray rewrote much of Goyer's draft. Miller wrote the film's action scenes, while Ray handled the characters.[48] Cameron had a list of action scenes, for no particular film, that he had wanted to shoot over the years, and he gave this list to Miller so he could work them into Terminator: Dark Fate. The list formed the basis for scenes involving a dam and a Humvee underwater.[60] As the start of filming approached, Cameron felt that the script needed improvement and made the changes himself.[40] The film's writing credits are story by James Cameron & Charles Eglee & Josh Friedman & David Goyer & Justin Rhodes; screenplay by David Goyer & Justin Rhodes and Billy Ray.[61] Cameron said that he and Miller ultimately had many disagreements about the film, but he described it as being part of the creative process.[62]

Miller said that the destruction of Cyberdyne at the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day is an event which would change the future "but no one knew how. And I don't think the movies that came after it really explored that in a clean way like I believe we are, with true consequences, and it makes perfect sense for Sarah to be the one to face those consequences since they were her choices to begin with."[63] One consequence would be the death of John Connor, who was initially meant to become the future leader of the human resistance against machines.[60] The decision to kill the John Connor character came from Cameron, who wanted to surprise audiences who had become invested in the character's mythology: "It's like, 'Let's just get that right off the table. Let's just pull the carpet out from underneath all of our assumptions of what a Terminator movie is going to be about. Let's just put a bullet in his head at a pizzeria in the first 45 seconds.'"[27] Cameron said that John's death serves as "a springboard for the story to show Sarah's ultimate trauma from which she only begins to recover right at the end of the new film. She's driven by hatred, by revenge. ... Her badassery comes from a place of deep hurt and deep pain."[27]

Miller said the decision to kill John was not controversial among him and the other filmmakers. Miller felt that Sarah Connor was best portrayed as an unhappy character, and he said that John's death provided a reason for her to be that way.[60] Miller said about Sarah Connor, "Grief has made her want to be an emotionless killing machine. And at the end of the movie, she's allowing herself to care again, she comes back to humanity. Her shriveled heart has blossomed again. That was the journey". However, Miller did not want Sarah Connor to be an unpleasant and "unwatchable" character, and said, "I think Sarah is tough, but it's not uncomfortable to watch."[48]

Cameron believed that removing John Connor would prevent the film from feeling like a retread of previous films.[64] Discarding John Connor allowed for new characters to be worked into the story. Additionally, Miller said, "You can't have John be a 36-year-old accountant somewhere. And really, when you think about it, he could be sort of a pathetic figure as a man who had missed his moment in history and was relegated to this banal, ordinary existence". Describing the opening scene, Miller said, "You want to slap the audience in the face and say, 'Wake up. This is going to be different.' I feel like that accomplished that. I hate the violence of it. I hate the idea of a kid being shot, but the dramatic fuel that it gives the story is kind of undeniable." In the early stages of development, there was consideration given to the idea that Dani Ramos could be portrayed as John's daughter, or that she could have some other connection to the Connors. However, Miller disliked the idea that she would be related to them.[60] There were never plans to feature John Connor in any other scenes besides the opening.[27] Linda Hamilton was somewhat shocked by the decision to kill John Connor, but she also said she wanted the film series and its characters to evolve.[64] She was pleased with the film's characters, and felt that earlier sequels to Terminator 2 lacked characters that the audience would care about.[65]

Cameron devised the idea of a T-800 Terminator that is "just out there in this kind of limbo" for more than 20 years after carrying out an order, becoming more human "in the sense that he's evaluating the moral consequences of things that he did, that he was ordered to do back in his early days, and really kind of developing a consciousness and a conscience". Cameron considered this iteration of the character to be more interesting than those featured in his first two films, saying, "We've seen the Terminator that was programmed to be bad; you've seen the one that was programmed to be good, to be a protector. But in both cases, neither one of them have free will."[62] Schwarzenegger enjoys interior decorating, so Cameron suggested that his T-800 character in the film have a drapery business.[66][67][68]

Casting

By April 2017, Schwarzenegger had joined the project to reprise his role.[69][70][71] In September of the same year, it was announced Hamilton would return to reprise her role as Sarah Connor.[72] Hamilton last portrayed the character onscreen in Terminator 2, although she also provided her voice in an uncredited role for Terminator Salvation.[73] Because previous Terminator films did not do well with audiences, Miller felt it was necessary to have Hamilton reprise the role.[63][74] Cameron, Ellison and Miller only wanted to bring back the Sarah Connor character if Hamilton would reprise the role. The film's storyline was devised first so the trio would have an idea to pitch to Hamilton.[40] Cameron said that he sent Hamilton a "long rambling email with a lot of reasons why she should do it and a lot of reasons why she shouldn't." Cameron's main reason for why Hamilton should return was that people liked her in the role.[39] There was never a version of the film that excluded Hamilton, and Miller said there was no backup plan in the event that she declined the role.[75]

After approximately six weeks,[76] Hamilton chose to sign on to the film,[63] which did not yet have a completed script for her to read as it was still being refined.[77] Initially, Hamilton was not sure if she wanted to reprise the role.[78] She had been semi-retired from acting,[79] and said, "I didn't want it to look like a shameless money grab. I am living this quiet, lovely life that doesn't involve being a celebrity, and you really have to think, do I really want to trade that in again for another 15 minutes?"[76] Because so much time had passed since her 1991 appearance as Sarah Connor, Hamilton had assumed that she would never reprise the role, and she was surprised by the offer to do so.[63] Hamilton said about her decision to return, "I was very pleased that all of the years had passed, because I could fill the years up with so much backstory and inner life that could power the character."[77] Hamilton spent more than a year working with a fitness trainer to get into physical shape for the role.[77][63][80] Hamilton said she put 10 times the effort into her physique than she did for Terminator 2. This included a regimen of supplements and bioidentical hormones, as well as training with Green Berets.[81][82] Commenting on Hamilton's role, Cameron said he liked the idea of an action film starring a 62-year-old actress.[83][84] Hamilton chose to dye her hair gray for the film, as she wanted viewers to see her character as an old woman.[85]

The production was also looking to cast an 18 to 20-year-old woman to be the new centerpiece of the story.[72] Hamilton rehearsed lines with several actresses who were auditioning for the role of Dani, and she immediately felt that Natalia Reyes was the right choice.[86] In March 2018, it was announced that Mackenzie Davis had been cast in the film.[12] Miller said about Davis, "I didn't just want a woman who could physically fit the role but emotionally as well. Mackenzie really wanted to do it; she came after the role. She worked harder than anybody."[54] After Davis was cast, she undertook physical training for the film's fight scenes.[87][88] Schwarzenegger and Gabriel Luna also underwent physical training for the film.[89]

Because the film is partially set in Mexico City, the cast includes several Latino actors,[90][91] including Reyes, Luna, and Diego Boneta, who were cast as primary characters in April 2018.[14] Reyes said, "This movie is a reflection of Hollywood now. We are just changing these stereotypes and the ideas and the cliches of what a Latino should be."[90] By June 2018, Jude Collie had been cast as the double for a young John Connor, with Brett Azar reprising his role from Genisys as the body double for a younger T-800.[22]

Cameron announced in July 2019 that Edward Furlong would reprise his role of John Connor from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.[24] Furlong later said that his role in the film was small,[92] and Miller regretted that Cameron made such an announcement.[93] Furlong's likeness was used to digitally recreate his younger face through CGI, and he also gave a performance through motion capture footage of his face that was added into the film.[27][23][93] Furlong is credited as "John Connor reference".[26]

Filming

Production was initially intended to start in March 2018, but was delayed due to casting. It was then expected to start during May and end during November with filming taking place in Hungary, United Kingdom, Spain and Mexico.[94] In April 2018, the film's release date was delayed to November 2019.[95] Filming began on June 4, 2018, under the working title Terminator 6: Phoenix,[20][96][97] in Isleta del Moro, Almería, Spain.[98][99] The first day of filming involved the pivotal opening scene featuring the characters of the T-800, Sarah Connor, and John Connor. Each of the three characters were portrayed in the scene by body doubles, and digital de-aging was later applied to give them a youthful appearance. The doubles wore special hoods that tracked their head movements, allowing their facial features to be replaced later by new motion-capture facial footage recorded by Schwarzenegger, Hamilton, and Furlong.[93][85]

During filming of the opening scene, Hamilton expressed dissatisfaction with the body double's portrayal, feeling that it was not accurately reflective of the character. Hamilton advised the body double on how to portray the character for a more fierce response to the T-800 character. Hamilton was disappointed that she had no onscreen part in the scene and later said, "It wasn't me and it really hurt. I cried my eyes out when I got home."[85][100] For Sarah Connor, the film used more stuntwomen than Terminator 2, and Hamilton said she "really got a little crazy trying to micromanage" them to ensure that they moved the way her character should. For this reason, Hamilton performed some of her own stunts.[101]

Other filming locations in Spain included the Madrid neighborhoods of Pueblo Nuevo and Lavapiés, which stood in as Mexican towns. For these scenes, the film crew repainted cars to resemble taxis and also left old vehicles on the streets to portray abandonment. The Mexican scenes were shot in Spain for budget reasons and because of safety concerns about drug cartels in Mexico.[102] While filming in Spain, Luna coached several actors on how to speak Spanish with a Mexican accent.[90] The film includes a scene in which the characters are held in a detention center on the Mexico–United States border. Miller said the scene was not meant as a social commentary on immigrant issues related to the border, stating that the scene was "just a natural evolution of the story". He said about the scene, "I tried to walk a line there because it's a terrible situation, but I didn't want to vilify border guards. They're people doing a job. The system is the problem. And even the choice to do it really wasn't a statement. It really was a function of us putting the story's beginning in central Mexico and then traveling."[48] Miller was emotional while filming the scene due to its depiction of immigrants being held in a detention center.[85][103] Luna said, "We don't make any overt political stances; we just show you what's happening in the world and you receive it however as you may."[103]

Filming subsequently moved to Origo Film Studios in Budapest, Hungary,[104][105][106][107] with the intention of shooting for a month there before filming the rest of the film in the United States.[citation needed] Hamilton said the film's script was the first one that she did not fully understand, because of its large amount of action. Animated previsualization aided the cast during such scenes.[85] In Budapest, special effects supervisor Neil Corbould created the film's largest set piece: the fuselage of a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy plane. The set was constructed on an 85-ton gimbal, the largest ever built. The set was capable of rotating 360 degrees, and could tilt backwards and forwards at 10 degrees. The set was powered by five 200-liter-per-minute hydraulic pumps, as well as more than a mile and a half of hydraulic hoses. A pit had to be dug in the concrete floor of the sound stage to accommodate the large set, which took five months to build. The set allowed the camera crew members to strap themselves inside. The plane set was padded for actors who shot scenes inside it. Foam replicas of military vehicles were also situated inside the plane set with the actors.[108] An underwater action sequence took weeks to shoot, and involved immersing Hamilton and Reyes in a water tank.[85] Davis said shooting the film was "the hardest thing" she had ever done because of the physical requirements.[109]

In late July 2018, Schwarzenegger began filming scenes in Budapest.[110] Filming moved to the United States in mid-October.[111] Schwarzenegger completed filming on October 28, 2018.[112] Filming wrapped in early November 2018.[113]

The film, like Cameron's initial Terminator films, will be rated R, whereas the previous two films were rated PG-13.[114][115][40] Miller said the film would be rated R because "the fans kind of demanded it, in a way", saying that "the DNA of Terminator" is an R-rated movie and that "to not do it R feels disingenuous to the source material".[44][116] Initially, certain scenes were filmed two different ways: with and without R-rated violence and language. This gave the filmmakers an alternative in the event that the film's intended R rating should be reconsidered. The filmmakers eventually abandoned this method after definitively deciding on an R-rated film.[40][58]

During filming, Cameron made further changes to the script to perfect the characters. In some cases, Cameron's script changes were submitted to Miller only a day prior to filming the scene.[40] Hamilton rejected certain lines of dialogue that she felt were uncharacteristic for Sarah Connor.[77][117] Schwarzenegger also added and changed some of his own lines during filming.[85] Cameron did not visit the set, as he was busy filming his Avatar sequels.[40] He also did not want to interfere with Miller's directorial work.[62]

A highway chase sequence, in which the Rev-9 pursues Dani, was initially twice as long. The Rev-9 would have killed a cop and stolen a motorcycle to continue its pursuit, and the motorcycle would be shot at and destroyed. The Rev-9 would subsequently leap onto a truck and then onto Dani's vehicle. The extended sequence was previsualized, but Miller chose not to film it as the sequence was considered "crazy" enough already. Miller had previously wanted to film the motorcycle sequence for his 2016 film Deadpool.[60]

Post-production

Cameron, who also works as a film editor, was heavily involved in the editing of Terminator: Dark Fate. Cameron saw a rough cut of the film in early 2019, and provided Miller with notes on how to improve the film, as he felt it needed to be perfected. He said the film "transformed quite a bit" from the rough cut.[62] The initial cut of the film, known as an assembly cut, was two hours and 50 minutes. Miller's director's cut was closer to the final film's runtime. Three or four minutes were removed from the director's cut, including a few scenes. Some scenes were also trimmed down, including an underwater fight and those onboard the C-5 airplane.[118] The opening scene was originally longer as it featured dialogue between Sarah and John; this was cut from the final film as Cameron and Miller believed that the visual effects did not hold up well when the characters spoke.[27][93] A shot was deleted from Carl's final fight with the Rev-9 that would depict the latter ripping flesh off of Carl's arm. Miller said, "We had to walk the line between gross and horrific," and he described the arm skin as "hanging like a big piece of jerky," saying, "That's where we drew the line."[119]

The visual effects are provided by Industrial Light & Magic and Scanline VFX, supervised by Alex Wang, David Seager, Arek Komorowski and Eric Barba as the Production Supervisor with help from Blur Studio, Digital Domain, Method Studios, Unit Image, Rebellion VFX, The Third Floor, Inc. and Cantina Creative.[120] The film contains 2,600 visual effects shots, and was edited using Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.[121]

According to Cameron in February 2019, the film's working title was Terminator: Dark Fate.[122] This was confirmed to be the film's official title the following month.[6]

Tom Holkenborg composed the film's score, reuniting with director Tim Miller after their collaboration in Deadpool.[123] Holkenborg recreated Brad Fiedel's original "Terminator" theme while also introducing Latino elements to reflect the ethnicity of Dani Ramos. Holkenborg used approximately 15 instruments to compose the score, and also used the sound of an anvil and the banging of a washing machine. Holkenborg described his score as being "way more aggressive" than Fiedel's score.[124] The soundtrack was released digitally on November 1, 2019 by Paramount Music.

Marketing

A first-look promotional image showing the film's three lead actresses was released in August 2018. It was the subject of some misogynistic Internet comments.[125][126][127] A teaser trailer for the film was released on May 23, 2019,[128] and features the cover version of Björk's "Hunter" performed by John Mark McMillan.[129][130] The film's theatrical and international trailers were released on August 29, 2019.[131][132] The trailers' release date marked the anniversary of the original Judgment Day date given in the second film.[133] Initially, the marketing campaign highlighted the return of Cameron and Hamilton. In the final months, the campaign focused more on the film's action and special effects. Promotional partners included Adobe Inc. and Ruffles.[134] In September 2019, Adobe and Paramount Pictures launched a contest for people to create their own remix version of the trailer using Adobe software and assets from the film.[135]

In early October 2019, brief footage of the film was shown during IMAX screenings of Joker. Miller and the cast went on a global press tour to promote the film, and Hamilton attended a premiere event in Seoul on October 21, 2019.[134]

Video games

The 2019 video game Gears 5 allows the player to play as either Sarah Connor with Hamilton voicing her character or a T-800 Terminator model. The game was released on September 6, 2019.[136] The T-800 model was later a downloadable playable character in Mortal Kombat 11, using Schwarzenegger's likeness, but without the actor voicing the character. The downloadable content was released on October 8, 2019.[137][138][139] A mobile game, titled Terminator: Dark Fate – The Game, is scheduled for release on November 1, 2019.[140]

Release

The film was released in the UK on October 23, 2019[141] and is scheduled to be released on November 1, 2019 by Paramount Pictures in North America, Tencent Pictures in China, 20th Century Fox outside of North America and China.[1][142][143] On October 19, 2019, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema hosted surprise screenings of the film in 15 theaters, disguised as screenings of Terminator 2: Judgment Day.[144] The film's premiere event in the U.S. was to be held on October 28, 2019, at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, but it was cancelled because of nearby wildfires.[145][146]

Reception

Box office

As of November 3, 2019, Terminator: Dark Fate has grossed $29 million in the United States and Canada, and $94.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $123.6 million.[5] With a production budget between $185–196 million, and an additional $80–100 million spent on marketing, the film will need to gross $450–480 million worldwide in order to break-even.[4][147] Following its poor global debut, it was estimated the film could end up losing Paramount and Skydance $100–130 million.[148][147]

In the United States and Canada, Dark Fate was released alongside Harriet, Arctic Dogs and Motherless Brooklyn, and was initially projected to gross $40–47 million from 4,086 theaters in its opening weekend.[149] The film made $2.35 million from Thursday night previews, on-par with the $2.3 million that Genisys made from its Tuesday night previews in 2015, but after making just $10.6 million on its first day, weekend estimates were lowered to $27 million; it went on to debut to $29 million. Although it finished first at the box office, it was the lowest opening in the franchise since the original film (when accounting for inflation), which was blamed on the lukewarm critical reception as well as audience perception that the franchise had run its course.[4]

In Germany, the film started out with 132,500 spectators, placing it third on that week's charts.[150] In the weekend following its international debut, the film grossed $12.8 million from countries in Europe and Asia, considered a low start.[151][152] The film was projected to gross $125 million globally during the first weekend of November 2019.[53] Instead, it only made $101.9 million (18% below projections), including $72.9 million overseas. Like in the U.S., the film under-performed in China, where it opened to just $28.2 million, far below the $40–50 million estimates.[4]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 70% and an average rating of 6.22/10, based on 230 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Terminator: Dark Fate represents a significant upgrade over its immediate predecessors, even if it lacks the thrilling firepower of the franchise's best installments."[153] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the film has a score of 54 out of 100, based on 46 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[154] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, the same score as its previous three predecessors, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 78% (including an average three out of five stars) and a 51% "definite recommend".[4]

The Hollywood Reporter wrote that critics overall seemed "cautiously excited about Dark Fate, although there's a certain awkwardness about seeing repeated recommendations that it is 'easily the third-best' movie in the series".[155] William Bibbiani of TheWrap wrote that "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."[156] Variety's Owen Gleiberman called the film "the first vital Terminator sequel since Terminator 2" and wrote that "Terminator: Dark Fate is a movie 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."[157]

Many fans and critics expressed disappointment over the decision to kill off John Connor.[158] Fred Hawson of ABS-CBN News wrote: "By deciding to lose John Connor early on in this one made the emotional heart of the first two classic Terminator films stop beating as well."[159] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times argued that killing John Connor ruined what the previous two films established: "Even though Dark Fate tosses aside the third, fourth and fifth entries in the series like a Terminator disposing of a hapless cop, it also undercuts the impact of the first film and the follow-up (which is one of the two or three greatest sequels of all time). First, they get rid of the John Connor character in almost casual fashion."[160] He also stated: "This three-quel, if you will, is so derivative of Judgment Day, they should have asked us to forget about that movie as well if they wanted us to believe it has anything fresh or original to add to the franchise."[160] Corey Plante of Inverse, who was critical of Furlong's portrayal of the character in Terminator 2, ironically found his character's death off-putting: "The character at the focus of every previous Terminator movie — the same young boy I irrationally hated since I was a young boy myself — was dead. Needless to say, it rattled me."[161] He also found that replacing him with new heroes undermined the Connors' importance that the previous films had established: "The future that made [Sarah Connor] important died with John, and now there's a new Terminator story with a new set of heroes that makes it seem like no matter how many times Skynet or its next iteration sends a murder robot back in time to kill someone, there will always be a new hero waiting to rise up."[161] Michael O'Sullivan reported that the twist proved controversial with audiences in Europe and Asia.[162] Robert Yaniz Jr described the twist as unthinkable: "In an instant, the entire crux of the franchise — the human resistance led by John — is torn away."[163] Dani Di Placido of Forbes put the killing of John Connor at the top of his list of things wrong with Dark Fate and predicted it would become a box office bomb because of it: "Those first five minutes completely disregard the only sequel that fans love - Terminator 2. What was the point of all that struggle, all of Sarah's desperate attempts to keep herself, and her son, alive? John Connor might be dead weight at this point, narratively speaking, but he was our main connection to the original films, and his death renders both of those movies pointless."[164] Matt Goldberg felt the opening did irreparable damage the the legacy of Terminator 2 by rendering it pointless: "Every sequel since has diminished the ending of Judgment Day because the story “needs” to continue (because studios like money and can’t leave well enough alone). But Terminator: Dark Fate may be the worst offender thus far as its prologue directly follows T2 and goes for shock value rather than considering what it means to continue the narrative."[165] Richard Trenholm felt the opening twist summed up everything wrong with Dark Fate: "The joy [of seeing the de-aged characters] instantly becomes cringeworthy, as this prologue undermines Terminator 2 by killing a major character in such a cursory fashion it just feels silly."[166]

Ian Sandwell of Digital Spy counteracted the twist, saying that John Connor only existed to "motivate the other characters and sets the plot in motion" and also pointed out that Sarah's actions only delayed the rise of Skynet's machines but not humanity's, putting John's position in the new timeline into question.[158] However, even Linda Hamilton herself expressed her dissatisfaction with the cold opening and was very critical of the way her younger character was depicted in it: "I just was so upset that I didn't really have anything to do with it, Sarah was not putting up the fight that was written in the scene and I'm like no, no, no, no. My body would be doing different things, more fierce. She's not gonna just let him knock her away, she would be biting him, she'd be grabbing his arm -- not that arm, grab the arm with the gun! It wasn't me and it really hurt." She also revealed that: "I cried my eyes out when I got home."[167]

Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal gave the film a negative review, describing it as: "cobbled together by dunces in a last-ditch effort to wring revenue from a moribund concept. The plot makes no sense—time travel as multiverse Dada. Worse still, it renders meaningless the struggles that gave the first two films of the franchise an epic dimension."[168] Jefferey M. Anderson of Common Sense Media gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars: "This sixth Terminator movie erases the events of the previous three (dud) sequels but winds up feeling half-erased itself. It's like a dull, pale, irrelevant carbon copy of a once glorious hit."[169] Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com also gave Dark Fate only 2 out of 5 stars feeling that it suffered from "empty fanservice" and that Linda Hamilton and her supporting female cast "deserves better".[170] David Ehrlich of Indiewire praised Linda Hamilton's performance and the movie's digital recreations of her, Furlong's and Schwarzenegger's respective younger likenesses, but felt "this painfully generic action movie proves that the Terminator franchise is obsolete."[171] Whereas Terminator 2 was praised for its groundbreaking CGI, some critics found the CGI in Dark Fate's action scenes left a lot to be desired. Tasha Robinson of The Verge critiqued such scenes for "CGI blurs and muddy action [that] are hard to follow in even the most basic “who's where, and are they dead?” kind of way. And when Dark Fate does deign to explain what's going on, it delivers its exposition in a self-important, hushed, clumsy way, as if audiences should be astonished by the most basic plot revelations."[172] Fred Topel found the new protagonists to be grossly underdeveloped: "It was a mistake not to build Dani up the way John Connor was, and the film never earns the relationship it wants Grace and Dani to have." He was also critical of the way the film teamed these characters up with the T-800 that killed John Connor: "The explanation for why he's good in Terminator: Dark Fate is so stupid. I get what they were trying to do. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and they need a terminator to fight the Rev-9. The explanation for the terminator's turn is so thin it sounds like a plot synopsis they forgot to elaborate into a full scene. Terminator 3 went overboard with the gay bar and outdated catch phrases like “talk to the hand,” but Dark Fate is sillier. I found Pops in Genisys a more compelling aging terminator."[173] Dani Di Placido found the return of Carl almost satirical. "The return of the T-800 that killed John was my favorite part of the film, but in an ironic sense; the fact that the killing machine retired and raised a family was like something out of Rick and Morty. This was genuinely a funny concept, but did not belong in this franchise; Sarah Connor's relentless battle with these machines shouldn't have been reduced to a series of Marvel-esque one-liners."[164] Angie Han of Mashable found the film so underwhelming that she found its title to be quite ironic: "Dark Fate is too thinly sketched to be anything but pastiche. It feels like a Terminator movie spit out by a machine designed to make Terminator movies. A dark fate for the franchise, indeed."[174]

Sequel

Plans for a new Terminator film trilogy were announced in July 2017.[175] While working on the story for Terminator: Dark Fate that year, Cameron and the writers envisioned the film as the first in the new trilogy. They also worked out the basic storylines for each planned film.[40][58][176][177]

By October 2019, Gale Anne Hurd had filed to terminate a copyright grant made 35 years earlier. Under this move, Hurd would again become a 50-percent owner of the franchise rights with Cameron, and Skydance Media could lose the rights to make any additional Terminator films beginning in November 2020, unless a new deal is worked out. Skydance responded that it had a deal in place with Cameron and that it "controls the rights to the Terminator franchise for the foreseeable future."[178] In October 2019, Cameron said that sequels to Terminator: Dark Fate would further explore the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, while stating that a resolution between the two feuding sides would be the ultimate outcome.[177][179] That month, Schwarzenegger said that Cameron would write the Terminator: Dark Fate sequels, and that Cameron would begin work on the next film in early 2020, for release in 2022.[180]

Although the events of Terminator: Dark Fate erase Schwarzenegger's T-800 character from existence, Cameron did not rule out the possibility of Schwarzenegger reprising the character: "Look, if we make a shit ton of money with this film [Terminator: Dark Fate] and the cards say that they like Arnold, I think Arnold can come back. I'm a writer. I can think of scenarios. We don't have a plan for that right now, let me put it that way."[181] Hamilton said in October 2019 that she would probably reprise her role for a sequel,[182] although she joked that she would fake her own death to avoid appearing in it, saying that making Terminator: Dark Fate "really was hard" because of the physical training she had to undergo.[183][184]

Following the film's underperforming opening, sources close to Skydance told The Hollywood Reporter that there are no plans for further films.[148]
