Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
- Tim Miller originally wanted a completely different ending for the film, but test audiences preferred the one we see today.
- Many of the practical effects used in the climax were achieved without any CGI.
- During the filming of Terminator: Dark Fate, Linda Hamilton improvised one of the most famous lines in the movie.
Terminator: Dark Fate is a 2019 American science fiction action film directed by Tim Miller, a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day that ignores the events of all subsequent sequels. Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor, now a battle-hardened, bitter woman who has spent decades hunting Terminators. When a new, advanced Terminator called the Rev-9, played by Gabriel Luna, arrives from the future to kill Dani Ramos, a young Mexican factory worker played by Natalia Reyes, Sarah teams up with Grace, played by Mackenzie Davis, an augmented human soldier sent to protect Dani, and eventually the original T-800 model, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been living as a family man in Texas for decades.
James Cameron returned as producer and co-writer, and the film's most praised element was Linda Hamilton's fierce, unglamorous portrayal of an aging warrior whose entire life has been consumed by a war nobody else believes is real. Terminator: Dark Fate earned $261 million worldwide on a $185 million budget, a significant commercial loss.
