It was not horrid in        RF>itself but somehow I felt it didn't belong to the franchise.              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 Terminator: Dark Fate       Discuss Movies Terminator: Dark Fate General              Maybe it's time to move this topic to a more suitable echo?
