    Didn't actually have a problem with Genesys, the only problem i had was that they didn't bother to show a scene where John tried to fight the nanomachines programming etc. For instance when they had him trapped against the X-ray machines magnetic field they should have had him tell Kyle and Sarah to flee and that he loves them etc... But for all intets and purposes, that "terminator" was actually not John. John was killed by Skynet when it injected him with those nanomachines. John died and that new Terminator just had access to his memories and could mimic his personality.

Robots from the future came back in time and killed people, shouldn't that future exist? (without trying to get into all the different "timeline" version of time travel)

    They leave it up to the fans to fill in their own plot holes. Like for example the terminator is constantly using power to support it's own weight on the chair to act more human and to make everyone feel more comfortable when it does this. But eh it could have been written where he just doesn't need to sit because he's a fricking terminator.

    To me that was more Sarah's view of the world after she lost John. She had no more hope after that. The only thing that kept her going were the coordinates for the other terminators.She was cynical when she thought that Dani was the new Sarah, and that was normal because of all she's been through.

    When Salvation came out, fans were angry almost as now with Dark Fate. I liked it because it freed the Terminator franchise from the tired "evil future robot comes to kill me" plot that were already done 3 times. But fans wanted the old "template"...........until they actually got it......... then called it "unoriginal repeat plot". Yep, I'm 45 and I lived through the 1st film till now and remembered reactions from each films. Though I have my faves, I enjoy and appreciate each filmakers trying to do in each T films.

    I've listened to a lot of reviews and it seems like the stank of _Dark Fate_ has had a serendipitous side-effect. It has caused a lot of people to appreciate _Terminator: Salvation_ a lot more and have people even say that it was the best-sequel since _T2_ when next to no one would have been caught saying that before. I will give _TS_ credit for breaking convention and giving us something different, but to say that it was the "best" Terminator movie since _T2_ I don't know if I agree or disagree. That movie was all over the place plot-wise. Couldn't tell if it was about John Connor, Kyle Reese, or Sam Worthington's character. Ida know. I guess by default it wins. It's the only sequel in where the John Connor character remained intact and where he resembled what were were told hat he was in the original Terminator.

It sends the messages to Sarah because it needs a purpose. And it’s purpose is to give Sarah’s life purpose. Then it would make sense for it to agree to help Dani and Grace because he is given a new mission; A new purpose.

    I still think the T-800 held up to it's well known aspects. In Terminator 2 it was established they can understand human emotions to a degree and somewhat replicate them but not as well. In this one, it's also shown how durable and unstoppable they are. It had a plane dropped on it and the only way the Rev 9 reliably beat it is when it separated. I assume this is possibly due to the Rev 9 endoskeleton being lighter in favor of staying agile enough to keep up with its liquid metal counterpart but failing when it requires brute strength in some, but not all, cases.

It is logical that t-1000 isn't only terminator they sent to kill John but this t-800 is from the future that doesn't exist anymore. Since that future doesn't exist anymore John isn't necessary to the humanity. There is a new future (with Legion) in which Dani is the leader of ressistance (not John)!

Its stupid if you see how great jhon was in t2 as teenager. You should give better storyline, genesys have better at story even i soo dont like it how the story make jhon being terminator. But overall story was great, we see another moment that sarah being more powerful and baddass like sarah on t2 well we all know sarah on t2 was best of the best so its just similar, and finally we see the strategy build by pops and sarah for killing all terminator arrive.

    That's not why it failed. Fans just want another Terminator with no changes.. they want to see the future which would be boring and wouldn't have a good plot since in the future nothing happens it's just trying to survive.. All fans want is the first movie again. But that's not how shit works. They will bash and say any Terminator movie sucks no matter what because no movie will ever be the first film again. This movie was a great fucking idea. Change EVERYTHING. kill off the "hero" and that kills the villain too somehow, showing that Skynet is reliant on John to survive somehow. Another villain then rises up to fill the void, proving that in this universe an AI uprising is inevitable no matter what. Then there is Sarah who is a relic of a deleted timeline but still believes that everything still works the way it did in her world. She runs into the new hero and her guardian like how her son had a protector from a liquid metal bad guy and because she still holds on to her trauma and her old world/time she immediately believes that the timeline is the same but the people have changed. Thinking that the girl is going to give birth to the hero, never considering or even comprehending that she IS the hero. There's just so much going on and so many fun twists and exciting plot. I thought it was fantastic and I'm sure a million other people think the same thing. Dark Fate was literally the movie that "fans" have been wanting and the film that they've been hoping for and expecting ever since Terminator 2. You got the first movie redone entirely like you wanted, you got Arnold and Linda back yet again, you got all the parts of the first movie you enjoyed put back into this one. It's a remake but with entirely different character and slightly different but entirely the same exact plot as the first and second films.. why people still gotta complain is a baffling mystery keeping me awake at night lmao.... some people just have to whine and bitch, like it's carved deep into the side of their torso that they have to cry and complain about something, anything or else the world will end.

    Oh, and if you are wondering why I wrote an essay's worth of text to debunk your comment, its because while a shorter, more concise overview of my opinion clearly isn’t enough for most people, so I often have to spell everything out point by point. As well, if you made your comment shorter instead of that entire paragraph stating how accepting and superior you are to others for loving this film, we wouldn’t be here. Maybe someone should send back a Terminator to stop you or me from writing these comments. But what’s done is done. In any case, if you truly believe that people like me and most others in this comment section are actively hoping for their favorite franchises to fail and to hate them, you are sorely mistaken, and need a new perspective. I didn’t want a new Terminator, I wanted a good movie be it Terminator or otherwise. I don’t want to see movies fail, I have a genuine love for film and tv and video games, but Hollywood’s laziness and ineptitude has made me expect this kind of movie, and I do not want it anymore, not just for the sake of the fans, but for the original creators and artistic integrity. That’s all I have to say on the matter. This comment is Terminated.

    Honestly couldn’t care less if they killed him... it just made no sense and served no purpose. It doesn’t really make sense that killing him removes Skynet and creates Legion... It would have been much more interesting to me for him to be killed and see an alternate future with either roles reversed (humans go back to assassinate skynet’s creators while Skynet tries to protect it) or see another version where humanity found another leader (no reason why it wouldn’t/couldn’t replace Connor) and do another take on the original films. Instead, Connor dies, which somecraxyhow stops Skynet and we get a wet paper bag to pretend to gaf about while plot holes the size of Texas are left unanswered. If his death served a purpose, I’m all for killing him off... but it didn’t...

This is what made the future scenes in T1 and T2 so atmospheric, bleak, dirty and dark... literally dark. Yet in Salvation we have broad daylight and rather pristine and spritely looking freedom fighters. All sense of desperation and visual style was eradicated from the movie.

    But here's a giant plothole, I'll explain it: In previous movies, it was made explicitly clear that if Kyle Reese was not sent back to protect Sarah, then John would not exist, but Tim Miller said in the new future, Reese no longer existed because Judgement Day never happened and Reese's parents didn't meet afterwards. Therefore, John should've disappeared from existence, and so should've those remaining Terminators that were sent back, if Skynet was erased with Cyberdyne's destruction. I see Terminator 3 and Salvation as the real continuations of T2. Jonathan Mostow and McG tried to stay faithful to the first two films, and so did Alan Taylor with his reboot Genisys. For me, this movie is non-canon. Too many plotholes and contradictions.

If Terminators were never sent to the past by Skynet would Legion still exist?

    So here's my revised version I just cobbled together. Sorry this is really long. 1) John isnt in the film cause he's living a normal life. Since skynet is destroyed there logically is no reason for him to become humanity's savior. He's just chilling with old Arnold with his own family. 2) Arnold couldve been a terminator sent to kill John as a baby. But due to how Sarah kept low all those years the terminator couldnt find her. He gained sentiance and eventually decided his mission made no sense. So now he's just chilling with an older John and John's wife and kid simply think of as "Uncle Carl". Cause again old Arnold thinks killing John makes no sense anymore cause skynet is gone. 3) Grace and this new terminator, we'll call the Reaper (spitballling give me a break) come from a completely different time than one we recognize as the classic terminator one. They come from a future where due to cybernetic enhancements and nano tech a massive war ignites killing most of humanity in the process. Grace is a member of the military who protects the last of the non-augmented people on earth. The Reaper was created by a brand new AI created during the war, its mission is to "win" the war it was designed to beat meaning killing all humans remaining. 4) Sarah hasnt been hunting terminators but instead continues to live in paranoia and fear about the "dark fate" of humanity. This led John to finally cut ties with her and live his own life. She's able to find Dani and Grace due to her simply being on the freeway as the fight goes down. 5) Dani (who in this revision is a med student) is being hunted because in the future shes the one who invents the particular enhancement tech Grace and the other surviving soldiers use. She's even the one who directly enhanced Grace. The Reaper turns out is actually her son who was deconstruced by the metal exoskeleton's nano machines. Literally if she dies, everyone does. 6) The Reaper, unlike most terminators somehow (I assume through Dani's phone) actually taunts her as he's hunting. The purpose is to break her down mentally and leave her vulnerable to kill. The Reaper isnt her son, it simply wears her sons visage as a mask. Hope this works for some people. Sorry for the long post.

Cause the thing I love bout Salvation is the fact IT DIDNT CHANGE what occured or pandered with backstory, where it gave us AN AWESOME STORY in the Terminator universe with a quick cameo of Arnold. Which my opinion, looked great, sure one or two scenes were corny/not worth the moments and some things in the movie were never explained. The fact is they skipped over a bit to stay on story and I loved it all the more.

    Potential Spoiler! Also, how did Carl learn to be more Human if no one knew he was a Terminator? Someone had to physically remove his CPU & flip the switch from Read-only to Read-and-write before he could even start thinking for himself but he doesn't even mention it or anyone that might have done it for him. Does it flip itself when the mission's accomplished? Did Skynet just think "fuck it" & send a potential threat to its existence back in time anyway? And Sarah knows that Skynet doesn't send out infiltrators capable of independent thought alone because Uncle Bob told her that. Why didn't she ask? She already wants to kill him so why not call bullshit!?

    Honestly John Conner dying was probably a good thing he successfully stopped judgement day and destroyed cyberdyne he has no more purpose because he changed and ultimately saved the future so his mission is done and as far as Carl existing since he was already going through time that allows him to exsist since he’s not affected by the future and since Carl finished his mission he had no purpose therefore allowing him to evolve something no terminator has done dark fate is a story about the new skynet and the new John Conner with a paradox that says there will always be a judgement day a new John Conner and a new skynet

    Actually... no. The set up with The Terminator ... *the first movie* ... demonstrated a causality loop that had looped at least once before the events of the first movie. Terminator 2 was the 3rd loop or greater. Each pass through the loop set _Judgment Day_ further into the future, while the date when Skynet sent a Terminator back to assure victory remains fairly consistent at being around the year 2029. If the movie was going to remain true to canon, Skynet would know, as depicted in the second movie, that it's first attempt to John Conner failed, and would try again. Thus, what we should have seen from movies after Terminator 2, is, quite literally, what we saw in Terminator 3: Judgment Day and Terminator Salvation. Now don't get me wrong, that's not to say that Terminator 3: Judgment Day or Terminator Salvation were well written, directed and produced, but at least Terminator 3 and Salvation attempted to show the next cycle in the causality loop. Terminator Genisys and Dark Fate just tossed it all out the airlock.

It just felt like the soldier sent back in time felt entitled to protecting the new leader of the resistance strictly on the fact because she was a woman. And I feel the 2 strong female characters of this movie were completely conflicting in the story archive. That being said Linda's role as Sarah Connor will always be badass and still hold its on.
