Terminator: Dark Fate Trailer Reactions - 6 Ups & 6 Downs

2. Sarah Connor Front And Centre

While the trailer opens a little confusingly on Mackenzie Davis' Grace and Natalia Reyes' Dani Ramos (as well as very briefly showing Diego Boneta's unnamed character) - confusingly because we have literally no idea who any of them are and it's not framed to really offer any answer to that consciously - the focus changes when Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor returns.

This should always have just been about her, because the film's biggest selling point is indeed her return, and the decision not only to go with a strong female focus for the trailer but also keeping Hamilton at the heart of things is a very smart move. It gives her a sort of Old Man Luke Skywalker feel and it's very obvious that she's still the badass she was in Judgment Day.

If you can't get excited about Linda Hamilton wielding a sem-automatic shotgun and a great big bazooka, there's no point in even watching another Terminator trailer. Because this is her world and we just keep it tidy for her.
