		The Terminator: Dark Fate (7/10) 
		by Tony Medley  
		128 minutes.  
		R.  
		It seems they can keep remaking this movie forever. 
		Directed by Tim Miller with eight writing credits which is always a bad 
		sign, it’s the same story and it still has Arnold and it still has the 
		unexplainable bad machines that can be killed in any number of ways but 
		keep coming back to life until the denouement.  
		Apparently the only thing that can really kill them 
		is an approaching fadeout. There’s really nothing more to be said about 
		this that hasn’t been said about the others ad naseum. Not much 
		has changed. 
		It’s entertaining enough, but my female assistant 
		hated it, so it might be a male thing. Even so, let’s hope this is 
		“finis” for Terminator films.
