terminator: dark fate

 Grace: Come with me or you'll be dead in 30 seconds.
get ready for full on action in this new terminator installment from the director from the first and 2nd movies James Cameron. Well it's kinda confusing because T6 is actually a sequel to T2 Judgement Day. Linda Hamilton reprises her role as Sarah Conner this time instead of playing the crazed mom psycho, she plays more of a hard assed bitch! Arnie is back as yet another T-800 model with some new characters and new surprises that any terminator fan will fall for. 8 0ut of 10.
