True, but Ripley in Alien wasn't particularly strong.
Terminator: Dark Fate

More than two years later, I came across the video I was talking about.
It's here, in case you're still interested

Caught this by chance last night on freeview, from the vehicle chase scene on the bridge, didn't even know it existed. Timeline of what had happened to Arnie was bit odd, how it ended seemed a little convienient. Just about watchable, but not great.
Could have been better, in contrast to the united front that Miller and Cameron put on for interviews there was a lot of butting heads behind the scenes when it came to this movie. I think at that point they should have realised it wasn't gonna work as they couldn't get on the same page and maybe delay things until the story was better developed.
But it seems like they just went ahead with it hoping the "women r teh win" bandwagon in Hollywood at the time would make it stand out and make it a success. Didn't help that Grace's character was so utterly unlikable, and yet again the movie was essentially another modern day T2 re-tread.
I still think a full movie set in the future war with skynet would work, one of the creators of Genisys is on record in an interview talking about "we know the fans want the future war so this movie has a a long future war sequence". So you'd think that would be the full premise of the movie instead of yet again trying to redo T2. Salvation was sort of an attempt at that, but the entire movie was just empty desert with a couple of t600's derping about, not the ruined city apocalypse with terminators marching around everywhere as depicted in the flashbacks in t1 and t2.
If they're gonna do another movie it simply can't be modern day yet again, thats been done to death and doesn't work anymore.
