Half in the Bag: Terminator: Dark Fate: (FULL SPOILERS)

Half in the bag Batman I keep pressing Enter but I can't close this window. The computers are configured correctly. Oh, super fast VCR repair. I'm Mike. How can I help you or Alice? Mr. Blink, where the hell are you? You're supposed to be fixing my VCR. Oh yeah, well today is our day off, Mr. Blinky, we were there yesterday, remember well, why are you here today? I told you it's a day off and on our day off we're going to see Terminator Dark Destiny. I thought that just came out like last year, bombed, no, no, sir.

Plunkett, that was Terminator Genisys, it's called Terminator

dark

fate

dark

fate

yes dark fate dark fate oh wait wait so what does that tomato sex mean? Yes, technically this would be the sixth Terminator movie, but it's actually Terminator 3, what he made, it's Terminator 3, Terminator thought. 3 was Terminator 3, well there was a Terminator 3 called Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines, but now they made this one and it's actually a sequel to Terminator 2 Judgment Day, so Terminator 6 is the timing right, yeah, well, so

terminator

3. well, in Terminator 3 there was a John Connor and Sarah Connor, the character we expect, is John Connor in Terminator 3, but that's a different guy, yeah, when they made Terminator 3, Edward Furlong was too old and bloated, so they got a guy named Nick Stahl to replace him, so that guy in Terminator is also John Connor, yes it's John Connor played by a different actor, so John Connor is off the grid and meets Claire Danes, who is a veterinarian, but somehow a Terminator lady came back through time. and another Arnold comes back to protect him wait wait there's a service the third Arnold is another Arnold but this time he's good too oh wait wait what's up with that Arnold and the fourth one the ending so the fourth one would be bad because that's Terminator Salvation, like this which is another Brad Arnold, yeah well he only shows up at the end and he's a CGI Arnold and who is that guy that bad Arnold is trying to kill in the room, mr. plinkus trying to follow a lot I'm trying to follow in time the salvation that takes place in the distant future where John Connor is currently leading the resistance wait a minute that's John Connor but he's a different guy yes this time John Connor is played by Christian Bale Batman, yes, Batman and we meet young Kyle Reese played by Anton Yelchin, wait, that's Kyle Reese, but he's a different guy, yes, and in Terminator Salvation, Claire Danes is replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard, you may remember her from movies like Jurassic World and Jurassic World.

Jurassic World. Park so Claire Danes is not Claire Danes from Terminator 3 Claire Danes Terminator Salvation, okay, so that will happen in the future and then we get to the next Terminator. I'm not sure what will happen in the next Terminator, yes, and in Terminator. Genisys oh that's right, it's not now, it's the original bad Arnold and it's not another Arnold either, that's the same Arnold from Terminator 1 s1, oh my god my brain hurts and he raises Sarah Connor from being a girl baby, wait, that's Sarah Connor, but she's different. girl Kyle Reese also returns Carl Reese that's Kyle Reese but that's Jeffrey boy he's a different boy Michael Biehn would be too old to play Kyle Reese in the 1970s to raise young Sarah Connor he and Sarah Connor built a machine of time in a sewer what they discover is that John Connor himself has now traveled through time, wait, that's John Connor, but he's a different guy.

Yes, John Connor is now played by Jason Clarke, who looks nothing like Christian Bale. He is a super super advanced human hybrid Terminator with nanobyte technology. He, why did you fight? Why did John Connor get the time machine in the first place? I don't remember his John Carter solution to everything is to send more Arnold back in time, do you think with all this he decided to go himself? saying that John Connor's solution to every problem in this franchise has been to send

terminator

s back in time, why don't they all go back in time, why don't they go back to the time of the dinosaurs, wait, that's how Claire Danes ended up. in jurassic world mr.

Flint understands this, these conversations get too confusing, in fact he wishes he could go back in time and not answer the phone so he could understand the Terminator franchise. I hear you brother, bye, bye, well, Jay, let's go see Terminator, dark fate, oh, I think everything. no more vodkas Mike, damn it, now what am I going to put in my glass head, how about this, what is that, why is it some kind of Romulan food packet ration, oh, it's from the hit TV series Star Trek Picard, wow, that looks like it, oh, wow, that looks like it. like a prop used on a screen, yeah, that's how the hell you got that.

I guess someday it might be worth something somewhere in space, a Romulan child is starving, oh it smells like an open grave, oh what is this? There are so many new things on the Otis desk, what is this other article here? Oh, that's our Terminator Dark Destiny poster. We got it as a consolation prize for watching the movie and you know it's kind of fun too since we're going to talk about Terminator Dark Fae. sculpt him as a metal skull with red eyes that looked like the t800 and was created by Skynet and then coincidentally Legion is completely different.

I also created terminators that look virtually identical. They created exactly the same thing. I guess that's just natural. evolution of an AI, you know, these are metal robot skeletons with red eyes, well, it wouldn't be a Terminator sequel if it didn't completely ignore the themes of Terminator 2, there is no destiny, but what we do doesn't matter, screams like what did you do! think terminator, the force awakens beneath the flesh c+ well, they rated you on two things, just as a movie you can watch and as a sequel to Terminator 2. Well, first of all, the Terminator franchise is beyond recognition, That's why I can't understand it.

I'm terribly upset by this even though many of the connections are horrible. Simply, yes, but this no longer matters. Very parallel to that Halloween reboot because it has an old white lady and six sequels that just passed you by and said no. It doesn't exist because that was a direct sequel to Halloween one, yeah, they skipped all those Halloween sequels to Halloween three that had nothing to do with Michael Myers, but then Halloween 4 with little Jamie Jamie and then Halloween five. and six and then it's Halloween in space and then Halloween with Busta Rhymes, yeah that was the progression, they just skipped everything and that's basically what they did here, they went from Terminator 2 Judgment Day and went straight to ending their deep fake and believe.

Terminator Genisys I don't remember much about it anymore, but I think I ignored Terminator 3 in Terminator Salvation, but it's sad that someone goes back in time. The Terminator goes back in time to kill a future resistance leader and then someone else goes back in time. to protect them is the same as those crazy bastards did it again, well, spinning Terminator Genisys was like yeah, an attempt to fix the franchise because they went back in time, yeah, and he, he, he was like Kyle Reese and the t800. We go back to 1984 and it was like they recreated the opening of the original Terminator with wash day, no cleaning, all that nice night for a walk, wash day tomorrow, nothing clean, right, nothing clean, good night for a walk, wash day tomorrow, nothing clean, right, nothing.

Okay, but it turns out that Arnold had gone back even further, to when Sarah Connor was young and set her up for the 1984 incident, so she wasn't just a hapless waitress working at a restaurant, she was shooting a big one. machine gun and then there is. a t-1000 that also dates back to the same time in 1984, yes, oh that's right, and she also wears a police uniform for no other reason than not to fire her, at that same time and then in the years leading up to 1984 Sarah Connor and Arnold was called Arnold because he's good, he's good at all of them, now Terminator 2, they set it up and they're like, oh, that's a clever twist, but now it's always like that, yeah, she and Emilia Clarke are right and Arnold built a time machine in a sewer time displacement device that sent them to 2017 today we're talking about a Ninja Turtles sequel sounds like this in that timeline Sarah Connor, you know, she's a young woman in 2017 and she won the present so yeah he just said none of that happened and then we go back to this movie it's a rerun it's different than a soft reboot or a reboot yes it's a rerun this needs a new term maybe we'll call it a jump back because Halloween did that and it was erased, you know, it's like it's almost like time travel, you're like what Skynet does is like yesterday, at some point you come back and say no, this is the sequel, yeah, what you can't do because Those movies exist and we've seen them and that's why this movie is more watchable because my expectations for the Terminator movies are so low that it's like, oh, this is fine, but if you're watching it as a direct sequel to Terminator 2, the first five seconds of the movie or a shame, we won't do it, so John Connor, also known as Edward Furlong, digitally and then digitally D, Linda Hamilton, said that what happened is not like a scene, oh no, oh, do you think they would film this scene for Terminators who know well know that maybe young people used to see footage of some unused shots of her on the beach, maybe, but damn, does it look good?

Yes, she looks cool, digitally aged or completely CG, but yes, she and John Connor are exactly the same. Same age as him wasn't Terminator 2. I guess they got an actress with the same head shape as young Linda Hamilton and then gave her a digital face makeover, who knows what they did with Arnold. I mean, I did that in Terminator Salvation, there's the first one and it looked digital, but no, but then there was a digital Arnold in Genesis. Oh, that's right, yes, that look was completely computer generated. I think he's like a muscular guy who had the same body type. he really just you know, so they don't have to do the whole body, we have to digitally keep the actors aged because we can't make new movies, look good enough, they look great and it was the first thing you see. in the movie it's like camcorder footage of Linda Hamilton freaking out on a couch or near this big scene and that's her big seal rant, yeah, she's so perfect and I was like wow and the movie starts there in Mexico because This is how it ends Linda Hamilton saved her son.

They also stopped the loop of causality by melting the original chip that Dyson used to create Skynet, yes, through a chip that exists because of Terminator 1 because of Terminator 1, yes. I threw him into the hot lava and then Arnold says I have one more chip but we have to melt it and then we stop the bad future from happening, but we have a very emotional ending, little Edward Furlong, I order you not to go and he does. Thumbs up, friend, one of the best endings for a science fiction movie. Then in this movie we learned that a bunch of other random terminators are being sent, I guess at the same time they sent the t1000 terminator back in Terminator. 2.

They also sent back Arnold's other Terminators, it's so stupid and then he just walks up and shoots them in front of all these people. We're not going to make it look like a beach resort. Oh God, okay, but I guess you know what. although I don't deny it, so here is another problem and I will also talk about the positive aspects because there are many things that I liked about this movie, but another problem also is that killing John Connor was completely pointless at the time, Arnold. I think in this movie he says something like I didn't know the design didn't happen it's based on a weird misunderstanding like a sitcom it's like Three's Company was still under my programming to kill John Connor and yeah it's okay good you know Oh, bad luck for Linda Hamilton, you know they got shot, just save the day, oh we won't make it, he won't become the future leader of the resistance anymore because Skynet isn't happening, he's just a kid who's going to grow up to be a mechanic of cars, which could be an interesting story if you made that movie about we stopped like I was going to be the leader, my mom went crazy because she knew the world was ending, we stopped everything now, what do we do or in therapy kind of yeah, I'm not even like that, but it's kind of a moral or psychological question, how do you handle that?

That would be thoughtful Draya, that's Terminator Terminator, or a thoughtful movie, the cool thing about Terminator 2 is that there's an Arnold and a t1000 and they're there, sent to the past, that's how we could send, yeah, and they have to fight for the destiny because the world is not a closed apocalypse and we have limited resources. resources and then, but now we find out that Skynet sent a lot of ARMs over the years because it's a sudden time at the same time, no, no, because remember Linda Hamilton, my name is Sarah Connor Sarah Connor keeps in touch a via text messages. with Carl, yes, and every two years, she attacks with coordinates for where the new terminators appeared with thehelicopter exploding and then oh let's get on this gigantic military cargo plane and then they get on the military cargo plane and then they just fly it and then there's jets yeah I thought it was cool that they took this plane and grace like hope about not getting shot down anyway, let's talk about the plot, we're talking about the story and you just stole a military grade cargo plane based on some guy was yelling that they have the authority to do it conveniently and then Oh Reb nine Steal a different cargo plane and crash into fighter jets then keep flying.

I'm pretty sure any mid-air collision would affect both planes, but maybe not and then it crashes into their plane, then the back of the cargo opens and everyone is floating nicely in Arnolds, a van. It's there for Arnold because he drove the truck toward the plane as it was taking off. I guess that's what happened, so yeah, he crashes, he's playing on the plane and then, oh my God, there's a Humvee, oh yeah, yeah. Holy, with everything, yeah, with a parachute, we all have to get in the Humvee and then he goes flying, he's hanging off the side of the dam, well, she's, she's on Grace is unhooking the parachute as they fall. oh yeah, she's hanging off the bottom like the platform the Jeep is on, the boobies crossed the limits of Grace's abilities, for sure and crashed there, damn, I think it was Hoover down, I think it looked like On the planes everything was exploding and about the thing falling off the dam, it's ridiculous, but that's why the movie exists, what's the problem.

There's something weird about mentioning this before, but yeah, when they ride the train, when they're sitting on top of the train, they have a long dialogue scene and I like that they established that Grace and Sarah Connor don't like each other, but then that gets dropped at a certain point but I like that initially but they're talking about it at this point in the movie you think Dani is going to give birth to the leader of the resistance but then

half

way through the movie it's revealed and this It's the closest thing they have to a story for us that yes she's actually the leader but when they're in that shift then Sarah Connor says you're not important but your uterus is and that felt weird coming from Sarah Connor, someone who knows his place in all of this and was a very important figure in John Connor's life, it's like you totally have to do it. ignore your own past to make a comment like that was really weird yeah yeah like she has no importance other than yeah this is super important she saved three billion lives you're welcome I never felt like I was seeing Sarah Connor and no I don't know if that's probably the writing, but also it's been so long and Linda Hamilton's age is this, it was strange.

I never felt like I was connected to that character since Terminator 2. It's exactly the Jamie Lee Curtis situation where an incident occurred. For sixty years he has driven them crazy for survival. I mean, that makes sense in the case of Sarah Connor, yes, less, so Jamie Lee Curtis, yes, he will come out, he will come back for me one day at 70 years old, a guy chased with a butcher knife. Yeah, okay, yeah, you're usually going to become a survival nut, you do what you have to do for the movie to exist, but yeah, take it in a different direction, like yeah, the natural evolution from Terminator 1 to Terminator 2 with her going crazy and being in an asylum.

I'd be curious to see what happened to her life after Terminator 2, but Oh, John Connor died and then she's the same person for the next 30 years. They said I had news for a long time about this, why not? I'm sure she would have done it. I appreciated it, yes, I am no longer the leader of the resistance. I don't make sense, he would be happy. No, no robot is trying to kill you. Okay, wouldn't it be funny, maybe he grew up and became like a Mark Zuckerberg billionaire. he created like Facebook and then started getting interested in technology, he actually ended up creating AI, there you go, there's a complicated twist.

Sarah's on a killing spree John, oh my god, stop thinking about ideas for future Terminator movies right now. He is testifying on Capitol Hill as Mark Zuckerberg. He always likes to defend his uh, his BOTS and all that technology later, John Connor, but he thought that when Capitol Hill leaves, that's when we plant the bomb and there are the robots and there are no robots, well, you can't make a terminator . Ruby would know where he is. It would be cool, it's like I have the first t1 and it's like the first AI prototype, it's like you know Japanese robots are like, oh yeah, and then, and then, Sarah Connor just opens up. the door and then he just pushes it and he can't get up, it rolls around on the floor, so Mike, would you recommend the dark terminator stool?

I'd say I didn't hate it, it's like it was on the fence for me, that's how it was. It wasn't fun to a point, the first

half

was really good and then it got a bit stupid. I really enjoyed that first action scene. I thought it was cool, starting with I like the pharmacy scene after that, where yes, there is a path up. until Grace finally is like that, she just goes behind the pharmacy and says yes, and she was a likable character, her performance was very much like yes. I think they said you know, be as human as possible with Lane and I think you connected. with that, because she was recited, she was vulnerable, she had a lot of emotions and the actress pulled it off and because it's like, yeah, don't act like a robot, she acts like a human.

I'm human, just enhanced, you know, greater speed and strength. Which means I can rip your throat out if you make me angry, so don't do it. The worst decision in this Terminator movie was to include Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger and it sounds weird to say but you have to include it but that's what I expected the movie, yes, but without them, it would have essentially been a soft reboot from Terminator, so Jay, would you recommend Terminator? No, no, I mean, you can see it. I quite liked Mackenzie Davis and that's it. I mean I'd like to say something like Oh, it'll be nice to see Linda Hamilton again, but yeah, when you see her and she walks out of her, the first thing she sees is that she has that giant gun and no. tough action star and of course, I thought maybe they could do something interesting with his character, but no, they don't like him, I said yes, also, we look for the positive J, we are not just poop SROs, we are not just enemies, are we?

TRUE? Selectors, every time you have a review of a film it means that you are picky, right, we are not picky, we are, we are care

full

y analyzing what works and what does not work in a film and that is why I say C+ /b, because there is things that worked and there are a lot of things that didn't work, as it's one of those movies where you just think you just want to go in and rearrange the whole effort. Yeah, why did you do that? Why did you do this? that really works no, this doesn't happen right, you can just you can feel all the interference, all the different, all the different voices, yeah, do this, put this there when you see or screenwriters and nine stories, buy credits, yeah, all for all. just for the simplest story, all for Terminator to offer again I have to protect you from bad things, yeah, or you die and there's no leader, that's the plot and then all the other stuff is just garbage, it's just visual garbage, yeah, and like you said, the previous movies, the action scenes serve the story, this is the story, services the action scenes, it's completely reverse, so I recommend it.

I'm a hesitant recommend if you want to see a couple of good action scenes check it out but it can be skipped. batman you
