Bet it's 3DCG, but still hoping for a good adaptation. Though I don't expect much return from that hope..

Well, it can’t be worse than the last two movies, can it?

For what it’s worth, I think Dark Fate is fine, but has a startlingly lack of ambition.

I like Terminator Salvation just fine, my only real problem with it is that it feels like a sequel to a movie about the machines slowly taking over a nuclear-devastated world that was never made. (I think there was a prequel comic released around the same time as Terminator Salvation that gave us a glimpse at the early years after the nuclear exchange but it should have been a movie as well.) |

I liked Salvation, too, though I didn't find it to be especially memorable; I have little interest in rewatching it. Dark Fate, OTOH, I probably would watch again. As to the actual subject of this article, it's really a wonder that anime hasn't done a dedicated Terminator series before. I've long felt it would be a natural fit. |

Dark Fate was honestly pretty good. Maybe this series continues the Legion story in some way. There's not much to mine out of Skynet anymore. |

The article on Gizmodo has some of the synopsis;
So the story might be something of a rehash but it won't feature any of the old characters I assume. |

And I am the one weirdo in the world that actually liked Genisys. Mostly because I thought it took a story that had written itself into a corner and managed to at least do something interesting with it. Not necessarily "good" but at least "interesting." |

I always felt the Ternibator were carbon copies of the Home Alone movies. The first two were awesome, the third was redundant but surprisingly unique enough to garner an audience, and the next three movies were critically panned and minimally watched, with the last one being unnecessarily cruel (seriously, that little kid was a bastard).

I still really wish they hadn't cancelled the Sarah Connor Chronicles - by far the best thing to come out of the franchise since the original two movies, and they just killed it off, right at a massive cliffhanger too.

I hope Skydance is just acting in a distribution role given their less than stellar track record in animation so far among other issues with the studio.

Salvation is my least favorite. I love Bale as an actor, but he felt like he should be playing Kyle, not John. And the story was so uninteresting to me, following a war where we already know the outcome, yeah not that exciting for me.
Dark Fate is the only one I’d rewatch after the first two, it’s got problems but having Linda and Arnold back together makes it worth it alone (also I love the iconic Terminator theme mixed with a Spanish music style, very cool). Genesis had potential but is too cartoony and nonsensical even by Terminator standards (also J.K. Simmons was criminally underused). And even 3 I don’t like, it goes too hard in giving the middle finger to T2, and even what they did to Sarah off screen feels like a blatant jab at Linda for not wanting to return. But the chase sequences are cool, and kudos to Arnold for funding them when they would have been too much for the budget. |

There are plenty of franchises that start off strong than collapse into a pile of mediocrity and “was this really necessary”. But I don’t think I would ever compare Home Alone and The Terminator to one another in that regard especially with them being different genres. |
