   Hello Richard!

   Yes.. some films and their endings should just be left alone.  But the     
   female terminator in T3 was a very nice imagining. The brief homage to the     
   dial up modem days at the beginning of the film was pretty funny.   
      
   Sometimes specific movie projects are picked just to exploit new SFX right     
   out of the lab. In the case of T3, they improved upon the morphing-bending     
   characteristics of the newer terminator models. Great CGI magic.   
      
   But the simple ease of time travel in general bothers me. The Terminators     
   are tasked to kill specific people, but the consequences of their killing     
   *additional* people that get in their way doesn't seem to affect the     
   future?   
      
   Anyway.. there's plenty of Dark Fate discussion out on the 'net talking     
   about the weaknesses of the film w.r.t the time travel issues.   
      
   The latest discussion contributions dated November 2019 at..   
      
           https://www.themoviedb.org/   
      
    ..are articulated very well by fans of the franchise and deal with the     
   problems of the previous time-lines now introduced by the new film.   
      
   Look for,

   Discuss  Movies  Terminator: Dark Fate  General   
      
   Maybe it's time to move this topic to a more suitable echo?  (FILM,     
   COFFEE_KLATSCH, CHAT) ?
