Terminator: Dark Fate movie review — The third attempt to build a trilogy is a 'spectacular misfire on all fronts'

Firstpost  

There are a few basic questions to answer when a new Terminator movie is out in theaters. The formula remains the same – yet another heroic Terminator is sent back in time to protect a woman who could prove to be an important character in the humans’ revolt against the machines, and yet again a villainous shapeshifting Terminator is out to get her. In 2019 film geeks have access to a lot of very intelligent science fiction, and you need to do more than giving them another cheesy movie about a robot sent back in time. To make things worse, our beloved censor board has made sure we do not learn any bad words in the English language; some lines have been ‘sanitised’ with dubbing and are so bad, they will make you wish for the ‘No Fate’ sequence in Judgement Day to occur inside your movie theater just so this film ends soon. I am not sure human beings are built with the pain threshold of bearing another Terminator sequel enthusiastically offering a pun-tastic subversion of ‘I’ll be back’.
