I went and saw "Terminator: Dark Fate" tonight and I really enjoyed it. It seemed on par with T2. It had similar themes and levels of energy and action and lots of story echoes from that film. It was definitely a lot of fun too.

Things got a little odd in the timeline, but they explained it well and this film felt like the logical and right sequel to T2. It shared a lot of DNA with that successor. Thankfully all of the other movies are in their own, easily forgettable timeline now.

Arnold was good in it. They had some fun with him and also used his character well. It was also interesting and nice that the three other main protagonists were all female, and the innocent person who needed to be protected this time was a Mexican woman. They even had a US border-crossing plot point in it. Not overtly political, but definitely a reflection of its time.

James Cameron, didn't direct this film, but had a writing credit in it, which likely helped this feel like more cohesive to the early films in the franchise. He has said that this is the last of the Terminator films and it's nice to see that they ended on a high note.
