In 1998, John Connor is murdered by a T-800 sent back in time by Skynet alongside the T-1000. However, John, his mother Sarah Connor and the reprogrammed T-800 nicknamed "Uncle Bob" have already prevented Judgment Day and changed the future.
In 2019, cyber-enhanced warrior Grace arrives from 2042 to protect the future leader of the Resistance, Dani Ramos, from Rev-9, a Terminator sent back to assassinate her. Rev-9 kills Dani’s brother and father, while Sarah rescues Dani and Grace, who doesn’t know who she is. Sarah explains that since John’s death, she has been hunting down Terminators with the help of an anonymous source that texts her the Terminators’ coordinates. Grace traces Sarah’s source to the United States, and his location matches coordinates that were tattooed on Grace’s body.
Sarah, Grace and Dani attempt to cross the border, but are detained by ICE. Rev-9 infiltrates the internment camp, but the trio manages to escape and reach Sarah’s source, whom they learn is the T-800 that killed John. The T-800, nicknamed "Carl", has been living among humans since completing his mission, developed a conscience and decided to help Sarah prevent the other Terminators from killing innocents to preserve a future that no longer exists. Grace reveals that although Skynet was never created, the United States military developed an artificial intelligence called “Legion” that went rogue and caused Judgment Day in 2022, leading to a war between humans and machines.
Sarah begrudgingly works with Carl to help Grace protect Dani, vowing to kill him once Dani is safe. Rev-9 locates them and mortally wounds Grace. Carl then uses Grace’s damaged power core to destroy Rev-9, sacrificing himself in the process. Sarah accepts that humanity’s fate cannot be changed and decides to prepare Dani for the impending war as she once prepared John.
>Terminator 1, 2, and 3: "No fate but what we make" >Every Terminator after that: "Lol, fuck that noise"
Kayden Richardson
For me, the action is all that mattered in this franchise

I can seriously write a better story on the shitter after 2 days of heavy drinking and a concussion.
I don’t get the big deal about this. The Bitch Terminator in T3 was a hybrid too.
Hudson Gutierrez
There was a time when Terminator was taken seriously but the 90s was a long time ago.
Carter Martinez
Isn't this just T3 but replacing John with a woman?
Mason Lewis
She was the protagonist of Terminator and one of the protagonists of Terminator 2. If /pol/ is gonna stir shit up at least watch the movies first.
Xavier King
>replying to obvious b8
Christian Reyes
So shit fire full circle and basically leads to nothing.
Jesus I hate Hollywood
Hudson Turner
Why do people think this movie is Woke sjw garbage when Sarah Connor was so prominent in the series and there was a female terminator in 3 and the show?
Blake Ross
Oh cool another shitty sequel of a once good series so they can cash in on the nostalgia factor left by people who could actually produce good movies
Carter Anderson
FOR WHAT FUCKING PURPOSE TERMINATOR 2 WAS ABOUT HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE WHY MAKE IT SO THAT IT'S ABOUT "DOOOOOOOOD THE FUTURE NEVER CHANGES LMAO" FUCK YOU
Henry Gonzalez
Didn't 3 end with them failing?
Jayden Hernandez
>Plot >stopped reading there There are amoeba that stand a better chance at ending all life within the next three seconds than there are writers that can pull off a competent Terminator story.
Jonathan Gomez
Killing off John again? Because people loved that so much in Genesys.
Michael Edwards
He takes americqn jobs fill up your schools with his spawns. Rape your woman increase drug use and violence. Votes for gibbs, and will erase english on american soil and replace it by spanish. At least the first one was an ubermensch from austria...
John Foster
she didn't split in two
Nolan Hall
Cameron didn't want to recast Sarah Connor and I imagine it was the same for Furlong he would have a bigger role if he didn't fuck up his life
Luis Adams
>Sarah, Grace and Dani attempt to cross the border, but are detained by ICE.
This. They also fuck white women that would otherwise be with young white men. We need to stop the Hispanic invasion of Texas.
Elijah Long
The first 2 are classics. It's been all shit since then. How much more can they milk this fucking franchise?
Dani Ramos LatinX illegal immigrant is existential threat to super intelligent machine from the future. Woke SJW LatinX "leadership"... bwahahaha!
John Connor was supposed to be autistic super smart 200 IQ white boi with mad hacking skills and also a polymath.
Jesus Christ... this franchise has gone to shit.
Carter Cooper
It's Genysis all over again, with a female version of Sam Worthington's character from Salvation, yawn.
Carson Phillips
how is this not just two different terminators.
David Torres
>We need to stop the Hispanic invasion of Texas After the white invasion of Mexico? Great job outing yourself as a complete retard. Shouldn't you be working on your science project where you combine baking soda and vinegar then shoot it up your ass?
which invasion are you talking about, the spanish invasion or the one where the united states pwned them and then left.
Brody Peterson
>and 3: "No fate but what we make" No, in 3: Judgement day is inevitable 1 and 2 do no fate but what we make
Gavin Jackson
we all lost interest the 3rd time they tried this who gives a fuck
Caleb Brooks
The one where whites get outbred by the Hispanics because white men can't get laid.
Aiden Bennett
This shit should have stopped after 2.
>we put a terminator in your terminator so you can terminate while you terminate
James Nelson
hispanic is not a race tho
Jaxon Wilson
>Sarah accepts that humanity’s fate cannot be changed and decides to prepare Dani for the impending war as she once prepared John.
Oh, my fucking God. This is absolutely stupid. It's the end of T1, essentially.
Why does dumb shit keep getting greenlit?
Blake Smith
Does the spic terminator get naked that's all I want to know
Sebastian Anderson
Because $. Also, I think one of the producers on this worked on 4 and genisys, and maybe 3 too. Hence the ideas of a human machine hybrid and old Arnold reappearing
Nathaniel Sanchez
t. White womab
Noah Rodriguez
Why can't they just let the Terminator franchise die? The third one was OK but there's absolutely no where else to take the story.
Luke Wood
I wish they would hire you I wish theyd fire anyone who realizes killing john and doing a rehash of the old movies with a new face is a gay idea
Connor Parker
>In 1998, John Connor is murdered by a T-800 sent back in time by Skynet alongside the T-1000 stopped reading right there
Ethan Lopez
Cameron said the new ones would be about surveillance networks and not assassins which suggests a full on reboot, what became of that idea? I'd watch
So this film basically exists to undo everything that happened in T2. Bravo.
Adam Myers
Carnival revival when?
Kayden White
You forgot the part where beaner-terminator rampages through the ICE facility, slaughtering dozens of agents whilst 'inadvertantly' freeing all the detained illegals. This actually happens. You can see a short clip of it in one of the past trailers.
>tfw in an area that only lost less than 2% white trash have started poppin up though so its only a matter of time
Cameron Diaz
>Detained by ICE. Millions make it, but not a battle hardened old granny, some kid, and a cyborg, LOL
Adam Rivera
T2: changed the future by preventing judgement day
T3: lol jk it happened anyway
Salvation: well at least the humans are winning
Genisys: literally fuck everything that happened in all 4 previous movies
Dark Fate: literally fuck everything that happened in all 5 previous movies except parts of T1 and T2 I guess who gives a shit none of this makes sense
Holy fuck this series needs to die, thankfully this looks like it'll bomb and finally end this shitshow
>Holy fuck this series needs to die, thankfully this looks like it'll bomb and finally end this shitshow Agreed on the former, unlikely on the latter. Far as I'm concerned the franchise ends with T2, every other entry was trash, and yet they still make bank, enough to justify pumping out shitty sequel after shitty sequel.
At this juncture, why has Skynet just sent 40 terminators back into the past to kill who ever is the savior of the universe this week and get the fucking job done?
Wyatt Foster
Based on the endless character swaps(and each directors add their own shit lore), some speculated that the future can never be changed; each time jump just creates an entirely new timeloop so there's no possible way to go back to a traveller original timeline.
It's pretty sad because a prequel movie about Kyle Reece fighting in the future war could have been pretty interesting. It wouldn't have been as good as T1 or T2 because with prequels you always know the outcome, which removes a lot of tension, but it still could have been cool. Probably will never get made. even if they did, today they would make Kyle Reece black or something.
Aiden Morales
This movie is tracking to make like 30mil OW on a 200 million dollar budget
Mercifully, Terminator is gonna be put the rest and they can stop trying to make worse ones
John Nelson
It kills me that Salvation was slowly working up towards this during the beginnings of the war and spergs all over the place complained that it wasn't the future war they expected. It was supposed to be a trilogy and retards ruined it. Now we have Genysis and Dark Fate. THANK YOU faggots I hope you are happy. Salvation sucked but it was the best post T2 movie of all these pieces of shit, couldn't you just let it be? Damn you assholes.
Xavier Howard
We are in the "Dark Fate" timeline, that's for sure.
Ryder Bell
CABAL
Oliver Morris
>Terminator 1 >"No fate but what we make" Terminator 1 shows a perfect time loop though, not that you get to choose your fate.
Evan Hall
Could just make a future war that doesn't suck. Shame they fucked Salvation
Cameron Phillips
No.
Colton Phillips
For its terminator 1, 2 and the Sara Connor chronicles. Other movies don’t exist in my timeline
Evan Clark
>They also fuck white women that would otherwise be with young white men HOT
Jackson Butler
>implying T2 wasn't just another shitty sequel >let's make the terminator a good guy and fight another Terminator >let's make him act cool and quip >let's throw in an annoying kid too >oh yeah, we can't have the good Terminator kill anyone either
Parker Anderson
Sounds like the worst parts of T3 and Genysys combined.
Luke Cox
>Sarah, Grace and Dani attempt to cross the border, but are detained by ICE.
Gabriel Stewart
why not?
Gabriel Howard
Salvation actually did 370 worldwide off of a 200mil budget, losing roughly 80 - 100 million in the process. Terminator genisys did 440 off of an 120 million budget, losing between 20 - 50 million depending on the source. Terminator 3 possibly broke even after hollywood accounting with 433 off of 200 invested.
These films haven't been significantly profitable since T2 and the vital US audience hasn't had any interest in the franchise since salvation onwards, with only 20% of ticket sales for genisys coming from America. So while the revenue for the last couple of films might appear to be going up, it's actually rapidly dropping.
The only reason Dark Fate is being made at all is because Paramount is on the verge of bankruptcy and are throwing everything they can at the wall in a last ditch effort to pull a hit from somewhere and terminator is one of the only significant franchises they own at the moment.
>Year is 2039 >Incels are controlling terminators via VR and eventually mass team up with their waifu bots and form an army of evil slut robots killing normies >Eventually a slutbot gains sentience and decides to go killing incels by fucking them to death Species style >Waifubots travel to the past when humans were still evolving as monkeymen, and murder them all >Waifubots inherit the pristine earth, and create a pleasure castle where all the robot whores endlessly fuck each other on solar power
>Fin
Fund it
Kevin Adams
>The protagonist of the first two movies is the protagonist of the new movie!
Let Terminator die already. Every single movie after Judgment Day has been a trainwreck, and this is shaping up to be the worst of the series.
Tyler Cruz
Its body is its brain, half of him is half as inteligent and half as capable and parts have problem communicating
Ryan Edwards
>There have been twice as many bad terminators than good ones.
Nathan Young
>The only reason Dark Fate is being made at all is because Paramount is on the verge of bankruptcy and are throwing everything they can at the wall in a last ditch effort to pull a hit from somewhere and terminator is one of the only significant franchises they own at the moment. fuck dude the TSCC plot was more interesting than this trash. they could have at least done something like the literal war against the machines say over two more movies using Salvation as the jump-off and ending with the siege of the Skynet central core and TDE.
William Green
i unironically think T3 is the best terminator movie, but i still love 1 and 2. any after 3 were garbage
Ryan Thompson
>arnie terminator uses power core to destroy bad terminator
sure is T3 in here
what the FUCK cameron?
Easton Young
You know, I figured another sequel would just be another post T-2 attempt to bring back the series, but that ICE part really makes me laugh. If that’s true, then it’s just hilarious how much people can’t let go anymore, even for a movie about future robots.
Matthew King
>Sarah Connor >Minor
Come on now. Not defending this crap, but come on.
>. The T-800, nicknamed "Carl", has been living among humans since completing his mission, developed a conscience and decided to help Sarah prevent the other Terminators well damn
Jordan Morales
T1 was a great movie. T2 was a masterpiece of action filmmaking. T3 is really stupid but enjoyable. Salvation sucked ass. I skipped Genysys.
Elijah Reed
i think my favorite parts of T3, were how you got to see the precursor robots, that you see the giant versions of in T2, and the ending where the bombs drop
and claire danes, ive been in love with her since my so called life
Tyler Anderson
Man this cuck shit is getting out of hand, white women don't like short fat spics
Henry Green
will this franchise just accept nobody like any movie past T2 and finally die?
What's the fucking point of the sequels when every plot pans out as >well ackshually you only delayed Judgement Day so you have to try and stop it for reals this time That shit only worked for T2 and with every successive sequel it just keeps getting more and more convoluted.
Jose Rodriguez
I swear, these new Terminator gimmicks just keep getting more and more retarded without ever actually topping the T-1000 in terms of effectiveness.
Nathan Murphy
More reason to build the fucking wall, gotta stop the illegal terminators from shitting up america.
James Fisher
spics don't take no for an answer so makes sense they are out breeding whites
Hunter Ward
no 3 ended with john conner talking on a microphone to the remaining world bases after a nuke attack
Hollywood is too afraid to make a nanobot Terminator because there's no way write your way out of it
Ethan Campbell
what's Dylan Roof with a meathook gonna do?
Elijah Smith
Oh, I meant in the sense that Judgement Day was just about to begin. I know John lives.
Isaac Morales
Jonathan Nolan's original script for Salvation was pretty kino.
Ian Jones
after judgement day, no one whose opinion matters
Jose Ross
The user is baiting. But if you are serious: 1. All of the protagonists except Arnold (and hes obligatory) are women this time, 2. Blonde lady is Dyke mode, 3. Chosen one is a Mexican, 4. Questionable ICE murder spree as liberal revenge porn but it make logical sense for the narrative so I'm not convinced,
David Howard
The contractual movement of the 300 families under Stephen F Austin? Or do you mean when the United Tejano peoples btfo Santa Anna? Or do you mean the Mexican American war that Mexico started?
Juan Sullivan
Is that the guy from True Blood on the left?
Michael Watson
>Nagging, and protesting Skynet to death.
John Reed
Hollywood loves to kill off classic white male heroes nowadays. It's a new trend.
Indiana Jones is next.
Nathan Ortiz
Can't believe so many took this bait
Luis Clark
Fuck yeah, I always wanted to live in a 3rd world shithole. Thanks Mexicans
Leo Edwards
Basiaclly it's a worse T-X from the 3rd movie. Whereas she was an improved T-800 packed to the gills with weaponry and a nano machine outter layer to hid said weaponry and to shapeshift and blend in the new one is a faster endoskelton but lacks the outright toughness of the classic T-800s and the nano machine skin can separate and operate as it's own machine but is apparently a much weaker T-1000.
Basiaclly the more badass machines like the T-1000, T-X, etc. were created though multiple time loops where Skynet improved itself bit by bit with each new loop and Legion is only on its first time loop
Also it lacks the ability the TX had to infect other machines to control em
Hunter Martinez
This ain't ending until multiple versions of John, Sara, Kyle, good terminators vs Skynet with multiple timelines robots vs legion in a knockdown dragout for control of the tineline
Parker Taylor
What the absolute fuck, can´t they just make it like the first movie about terminator hunting down one/two persons? This doesn´t make any sense, time travelling fuckery is the worst thing that can happen to the franchise
Justin Gonzalez
Can someone explain to me Genysis and this fit into the the timeline(s)?
>can someone explain to me how genysis and this fit into the timeline(s)
My English is fucking shit today.
Ian Myers
'cause it was already too late at the beginning of the film since the virus was already spreading, but technically they could have turned off skynet
Carter Fisher
Terminator 1 isn't about preventing the judgement day, it's about making sure John Connor survives. Not that you're wrong though, T1 follows "fate" to the letter.
Colton Edwards
Ah, it's been years since I've seen it.
Jason Bennett
Gay, the next logical step was to make a Terminator out of metal gas
Owen Cox
Genisys was a soft reboot that completely erases the timelines of 1-4 in favor of a story where cyberdyne a.k.a. not-apple makes some internet-of-thing ai that goes rogue and nanomachines and stuff and somehow, but the storyline doesn't really make sense, because the kick off point for the plot happens when skynet has nanomachines in the original T1 plot line. It's shit basically.
For dark fate, they seem to be throwing everything out and just having a new bad AI that is skynet and genisys mixed together, with john not even in the film and the AI being able to send back infinity terminators. It's even more shit.
What I'm really surprised about though is that they didn't jump on the 80s nostolgia bandwagon and do a soft reboot set in the 80s, instead of having all this gay shit that they're doing now. But I guess they hoped that bringing back Hamilton was going to get people into seats?
This. You just know that scene is going to be heavy as fuck with prop >brutal ice agents >torture scenes in the detainment center >sadit asshole warden character that gets killed "righteously" by one of the main females with an insipid throwaway line designed to elicit a YAAAASSS QUEEEEEN SLAAAAAAY response from a nonexistent roastie audience Why bother watching movies anymore when you already know how they're going to play out?
Cameron Perez
>literally keep making the same terminator sequel but changing some details and wiping the timeline Damn that's so deep
Henry Richardson
They realize that the only losers dumb enough to pay to see this shit is the soiboi audience that loved disneywars.
Adam Lewis
>the next logical step was to make a Terminator out of metal gas You wanted a Braapinator? You really wanted to open that Pandora's box? Why not ask for a furrynator while you're at it.
Liam Powell
>What if T-X terminator was T-1000 but also T-800?! CREATIVELY BANKRUPT
Mason Carter
Killing off John is retarded, the entire franchise is about him and his destiny.
If they wanted to milk it then just do future war with John waking up after the nuclear apocapyse,
Daniel King
As if women have not fought and led, before. Read some history.
Evan Kelly
The "fate we make" seems to be "malignant AIs" - sadly.
Logan Kelly
>The T-800, nicknamed "Carl", has been living among humans since completing his mission, developed a conscience By doing what? It's not like he had someone teach him human behavior like John did with the T-800 from T2.

Angel Taylor
Yes - just like life itself. How very 'meta'.
Lincoln Bell
The TV series looks like Shakespeare compared to this & there's a difference between a strong female lead and fuck men wymyn strong message beaten into the movie like a dead horse
Christian Jackson
Yeah crazy how the TV series turned into peak Terminator
Ryan Brooks
You know why this is being made, right? China, baby. Tencent pictures is one of the production studios connected to this. The trailer is LOADED with over the top crazy bullshit action.
