I was 18 in 1984 when the original Terminator came out and I remember running out of the theater with my best friend and we were running through the parking lot geeked at what we had just experienced. Dark Fate did not start slow and only have action scenes in the last 30 minutes as some idiots on here are posting. It was in fact non stop action. And the effects stood up with time. It was a good movie and the reason I give it a 7 or 8 was because CGI in but a few spots was too CGI. But most 98% was very good. The writing, especially with choices made with Arnold and Linda were reminiscent of the original and it was sad to see Arnold has aged. How fast time flies. I'm 53 now and everything has passed so quickly. Saw it tonight in Dolby Theater and reclining seats. Really not a bad flick. Nothing can replace the experience of seeing the original in 1984. It was a freak of nature film at that time. Today's film has the better effects in spades obviously but a lot of films have upped the game with effects. Those giving it a 1 are fruitlessly and hopelessly curmudgeons who either have an issue with the heroine in this film being south of the border or are just plain trying to bring the film down by dishonest reviews.

Chess plays a central role in this film and like a good chess match you watch with patience and are given a very cool plot that weaves an interesting story across your two hours well spent. If you lack patience and want stupidity go watch something that takes less thought. Spy games were no joke during the cold war and the techniques used in the film were real. The fighting scenes were highly unrealistic, but is any Bond fight scene realistic? Yeah, it does a little John Wick, but that's top keep the ritalin crowd happy.
