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

4. The Terminator Action (and Most Of The Effects)

If you're a fan of the Terminator movies, you're a fan of the pillars of the franchise that stuck around even when the sequels started to deliver poorer and poorer results. You want to see cyborgs fighting, you want to see evolved Terminators showing off new skills and techinical abilities and you want to see some human (or human-allied) heroes trying to stop the end of the world.

Thankfully, most of that is delivered on and most rewarding of all is the look at the new Terminator (played by Agents Of SHIELD's Gabriel Luna), who combines an exoskeleton (seemingly made of a harder, darker new metal) and the liquid metal of the T-1000 and is able to multiply himself by stripping the liquid element of his body from the exoskeleton.

The effects for that showcase look really great and it's really hard not to admire what's gone into it and if we get as great action throughout the film as this teaser seems to be hinting at, Tim Miller will have delivered on one of the key elements of his brief with applomb.
