 I'm Adam. This is my brother Shane. We just got done seeing Terminator Dark Fate. Let's just get right into it. This is the sixth Terminator movie and the first one you have seen. Yep. Okay. Two completion. Two I saw the first one on TV. How old were you? Middle school probably. You've seen none of them. We're gonna go. We're gonna go if you've seen none of them All right, what's happening with my collar here? There's a lot of stuff going on right now. The question is though, why? Why do we need another one besides Hollywood making money? And I think the answer to that is I think to some people it was to maybe try to make something that's You know just as good as Terminator 2 or 1 And not as embarrassing as T3 and Genesis and salvation and this this worked for me I thought Terminator Dark Fate was a damn fine movie No, it's not as good as 1 and 2 and you should absolutely see them. You can skip all the other ones though I haven't heard good good things. I probably know it's it's it's brutal It's a pretty brutal experience all around what this reminded me of very much So was Halloween that came out a year or two ago Which for some reason they just called Halloween to confuse every single person out there because it's actually a Remake of not a remake like a to redo a sequel. Well, so yeah What's it? I mean, there are like seven or eight Halloween movies Yeah, but they just and certainly asked all of you did except for one those didn't happen right this day And so that's what we did with Dark Fate. We are taking place After two again, so this is technically Terminator 3 a question was were they gonna actually make this work? Or was it gonna be another Dark Phoenix for X-Men another failed attempt to redo that and this I thought Did work. I was pretty engaged throughout There's a little bit of a lull in kind of the middle, but otherwise I mean those two hours flew by pretty quickly the whole time-traveling thing never really added added up a lot You know the time travel is a messy thing, but they did a good job. I thought of Making sense of the nonsense that's in this movie without giving anything away because we're not gonna do any spoilers I I just have to say that the first five minutes on the first couple minutes I guess are just completely nuts and I could not believe how far we've come with CG and with Just effects in general. This this movie has some incredible moments It's got some I didn't I didn't think I actually had anything that was like bad like obvious CG work that I thought Oh, this is just terrible No, I mean everything looked I mean realistic and I mean for what it is, you know It's realistic as a a robot flying a helicopter and crashing it into yeah a building can look a cool aspect though Was when they did do like the the point of view of Arnie from his robot. It was Yeah, original. Yes, you know hit robot the view and then when they did the newer robots They had the updated scans and and things like that. I was kind of the rev not rev 9 I believe the new model you got to see t2 the the villain in t2 the t1000 is is one of my favorite villains of all time and this rev 9 as cool as he is you know from like a Sci-fi aspect. I just the actor didn't really wow me at all. He wasn't really much of anything You know Arnie in the first one just straight face. Oh, yeah, there was there's a fear to write that you could tell that That he was a robot. Yes, but not a robot this one. He just kind of acted like it's just cash He's a cash robot. He's a rep 9. There's been 9 he's the 9th revision I assume is what they mean by that you brought up a good point about the the fear factor and that is one thing that is one Criticism I can give this the first two terminators have an element of almost horror to them You you are constantly on edge when these characters show up You are you are fearing for the the heroes lives and and this I never really get that It's very much just an action movie. There's like a lot of explosions. There's lots of glass breaking like that rev 9 hates windows Yeah, the future that they just don't have wind. They don't have wind. Yeah, there's no time to deal with it No, I'm out. I'm out and speaking of action. This is a Tim Miller vehicle I believe is the director. He did Deadpool if I got the name wrong. Sorry. We're just we're fresh out of the theater We're not doing any research. We're just we're just you know just throwing thoughts out the name was on the credits But that was I can't read 10 minutes. That's why I go to movies. I can't read. What did you think about the action? I? Thought it was pretty sweet. Yeah, there was there was a lot of action from I mean right away in the beginning Yeah, and you know and then you know, there was a couple of Slower moments, but you know, it was kind of like a cat and mouse Chase throughout you know the entire movie They did a good job of balancing the action and some of the quiet moments where it didn't feel like just a Barf of exposition like some of these movies do they're there was a lot of back-and-forth going on where They would show a flashback scene There was actually one in particular where they kind of cut right at a pivotal moment to the flashback And I even I turn you like what so we're just done with this scene We don't even know how she got out of here, but they do they finally address it later Which I thought it all works out well the stakes are pretty high You're you're not really sure who's gonna come out of this on top because you got Sarah Connor back in this You got Arnold back in this the Terminator so you have these characters who are clearly a lot older the actors are and They could just be sunset at any point in this movie You don't know if they're gonna make it to the final act or if they're gonna be axed in the first minute T9 or the Rev 9 or whatever. It's it can it's really difficult to kill They try really hard So even then you're still trying to figure out. Well, how are they actually gonna do it? I like how he could copy itself. That was pretty cool It just makes a duplicate and they kind of pal around a little bit I would have liked a little bit more buddy buddy cop kind of him You know punching someone into his other self and then you know a little bit more of that back and forth like a frisbee But he doesn't really do he doesn't high-five himself for anything, which you know, maybe it was a missed opportunity I don't know more spoilers. There is several strong female leads There are several strong female leads, but it doesn't seem forced which I thought was well done There was one there was one part where it's it's there's a there's a few mysteries in this movie that I thought were all incredibly obvious because of the kind of hand-fisted dialogue just in one section when they're on the train yeah and You know Sarah Connors just kind of which we should talk about actually um This movie is Halloween again. This is the last year or two years ago Halloween as far as Sarah Connor goes. She's grizzled She's rough. She's she's been waiting all these years to kill terminators and She's fantastic Much like Jamie Lee Curtis was what did you think about the actress Mackenzie? I don't I don't know the actresses full names Mackenzie something but she played grace the human Hybrid at first. I thought she was just another robot right, but then they know that they made her that hybrid Which was which was pretty cool because then there's also some Learning that she didn't know how to she wasn't like you know programmed to kill terminator She was just a soldier having to go back in time and wing it. Yeah, she doesn't have all the answers, right? so that was a kind of a realistic touch to it I'd say and I thought Her and and Sarah Connor they had a pretty good back and forth I gotta say the story I just I thought for sure they were just going to go the lazy route where it's okay Skynets just keeps sending these terminators like candy. They're just you know, just turning a little machine and more popping out And it's layered. There's more it's more going on than that and it doesn't discredit The events of t1 and 2 which I really liked, you know stopping judgment day absolutely happened And this is just its own beast. I don't really have much else to say other than the score was great I thought the soundtrack was fantastic. No, I do have a question for you. Okay seeing as I haven't seen You know any of them In every remake movie every future movie thing like that they like to throw a whole bunch of bones Tips the hat tip of the hat wink wink to the audience anything like that that was super stand out I was corny and cheesy and you know they they did a good job of of um You know paying homage but not being over the top and okay Vomity about it that the the one line that you probably knew because everybody knows that i'll be back They used that a couple that she says was was good um Yeah, otherwise, I don't think there was there was much as far as kind of tips to the old ones Then show harney got his gun or something like that And I don't think there was really any slander either to to t3 or well There was that one lame scene in there with the shades Oh, yeah, but that was just whatever. I don't give numbered ratings anymore because they're stupid So I just kind of say and you know and then you look back and you say why did I give that a You know a nine or a ten. I was like was I on So I just say if it's worth seeing if it's worth the trip to the theater and I think this one is worth the trip I agree worth the trip to the theater and Okay, we got two worth the trips, you know get a soda get some popcorn and have sit back and watch Watch arnold. Oh, that may be one more thing is we should say A lot of people were saying that you know is arnold going to be in this for 20 minutes It's going to be for a minute and there's a good amount of arnold It's not his movie, but he's definitely present. He's definitely in there more than I thought he was going to be so Take that for what you will and then get the hell out of here
