Terminator: Dark Fate
- Thread starter Gerard
- Start date
Some early scenes were shown at some convention, description below:
The first footage opens on Mexico City at night. On a highway on a bridge, the road begins to ice up and electricity begins to crackle all around it while a thick wall of fog appears. A time travel bubble materializes in the middle of the bridge, breaking it in half and sending the female figure within it flying several dozen feet to the ground below, while the cars on the highway crash into each other — perhaps a nod to how time travel in past films always seems to take place on level ground. Two onlookers, a Mexican couple making out in the river tunnel, pick up the naked and groggy time traveler, who is revealed to be Mackenzie Davis. Davis’ character is either a Terminator or enhanced in some way, as evidenced by the way she reacts and attacks the cops that approach her when they arrive on the scene. The attack is shown in Davis’ character’s POV, with on-screen displays from her vision popping up onscreen. The couple watches in amazement and utter, “Thanks lady, you just saved our asses.” She replies to not thank her just yet and, sizing up her foot against the guy’s foot, takes his clothes and drives off in their car.
In a new scene, black metallic T-1000 style sludge forms into the villain (Gabriel Luna) who can split into two and reform another Terminator. He and an endoskeleton Terminator chase after Davis’ character, who is protecting a young girl. “When they start to kill me, run” Davis says to the little girl before Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) suddenly appears and begins blasting at the Terminators with a huge gun. Battle-worn and badass, Sarah Connor then pulls a rocket launcher off her shoulder and blows the Terminator away.
The last piece of footage includes a montage of Luna’s liquid Terminator slicing through soldiers in a hallway with sharp arms, Sarah Connor fighting alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800, a shot of the T-800 bursting through a door in a helicopter, a glimpse of Davis blasting Terminators with tentacles in what appears to be a Judgment Day-ravaged battlefield, and finally a closing shot of Sarah Connor dropping a bomb over the side of a bridge and cooly saying, “I’ll be back.”

sounds atrocious.
can only assume DAvis is "enhanced" since time travel has never made a cyborg groggy before.
the now T1000 apparently contains enough material to make another? so it will obviously appear first as a fat terminator? :-/
don't think there's a cringe level high enough to cover that last "quip".

Oh, I was hoping they had canned this.
Yeah, they would obviously shoot all the footage, go into post production then can it...
I still think it had a good chance to be good. Cameron has been involved in the writing room from the start, and the Director talking about seems to have a level head as to what makes the other work. Plus they are just saying the other films never happened.
Personally i think they should have finished it with T2, but if you have Time Travel involved in a Movie it leaves it open for a lot more.
I was never THAT keen on the original Terminator but T2 is still one of my favourite films of all time......never really liked Rise or Genisys, but don't mind Salvation ( on the level of "same universe, different story")
Havent much hope on this one
My big problem with Salvation was the lack of any actual Terminators. You only see a couple of T600's during the whole course of the movie and at that time point they were meant to be the most common model. Also, the Arniebot having Connor in it's hands and instead of just snapping his neck and changing the outcome of the War there and then, it decides to throw him around instead. Totally dumb writing. Connor is always meant to be just out of reach, it makes no sense for the Terminator not to kill him when it manages to grab him
Very true, after all it has 'detailed files on Human anatomy'

Personal preference and all that but I watched it when it came out at the cinema and have never watched it since.

Love that, straight reference to the ending of the first two movies. Slightly excited!
which would show the best way to throw him against a wall.
But would also know the best and quickest way to kill someone. Could have snapped his neck in less than a second. Job done.

Well I actually think that looks like it could be decent.
Maybe some CGI needs a bit of work, but it's early days. The liquid metal around a Terminator endoskeleton looks unique as well.
