Imagine if a murderous cyborg from
the future came back to keep James
Cameron’s original “The Terminator”
from being made. Arnold Schwarzeneg-
ger might never have been a generation-
defining action-movie hero, and “Hasta
la vista, baby” would just be uttered
during angry breakups on Spanish va-
cations.
Thirty-five years ago, “Terminator”
kicked off a time-traveling, stuff-ex-
ploding, catchphrase-spouting and
apocalypse-avoiding franchise that,
like Schwarzenegger’s T-800 machine,
has proven seriously hard to kill. Direct-
ed by “Deadpool” filmmaker Tim Miller
and produced by Cameron, “Termina-
tor: Dark Fate” (in theaters Friday) re-
unites Schwarzenegger with his former
co-star Linda Hamilton (making her
first appearance in the franchise since
1991’s “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”)
and features new characters, old one-
liners, more killer robots and, yep, a
whole bunch of firearms and flames.
It has been a rough road at times,
however, since the T-800 arrived naked
in the 1980s to take out Hamilton’s Sa-
rah Connor before she could bear a free-
dom fighter for mankind in the future.
Here’s how “Dark Fate” ranks with the
best and worst of the “Terminator”
movies so far. (Note: Fox’s “Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles” (2008-
09) was a TV show, so it doesn’t count,
but would rank a solid third here.)



  1. ‘Terminator Genisys’ (2015)


Although a “Terminator” movie
shouldn’t ever be boring, “Genisys”
didn’t get that memo, or the one that
says to avoid dumb title spellings. It’s
pretty much an alternate-universe take
on the original “Terminator,” where fu-
ture guy Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) is
sent back in time to protect Sarah Con-
nor (Emilia Clarke) but winds up in a dif-
ferent timeline: Instead of being a dam-
sel in distress, she’s waiting for him
with a loyal Terminator named “Pops”
(Schwarzenegger). Convoluted high


jinks ensue.


  1. ‘Terminator 3: Rise
    of the Machines’ (2003)


The ending is superbleak but sort of

interesting, capping a tale in which fu-

ture John Connor (Nick Stahl) sends a

Terminator (Schwarzenegger) back to

protect himself, his future wife (Claire

Danes) and other members of the resis-

tance before Judgment Day. Somebody

decided to go the leather-clad hot blond

route with the first female Terminator,

the T-X (Kristanna Loken), who brings

on the machine revolution and is one of

the film’s many forgettable aspects.


  1. ‘Terminator Salvation’ (2009)


Let’s give credit where it’s due for be-

ing different.

“Salvation” leaves out all the pre-

apocalyptic stuff to focus solely on the

future battles between the human resis-

tance – led by John Connor (Christian

Bale) – and the evil mechanisms of Sky-

net. (And Schwarzenegger appears only

digitally, because the Governator was

running California at the time.) That

said, the movie is best remembered

more for Bale freaking out on the direc-

tor of photography during filming than

anything on-screen. So an A for effort,

but an F for PR.


  1. ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ (2019)


The newest outing leans female as

Schwarzenegger takes a back seat to

Hamilton’s grizzled Sarah, Mackenzie

Davis’ time-traveling super-soldier

Grace and Natalia Reyes’ young Dani,

the target of a new Rev-9 Terminator

(Gabriel Luna). The action’s top-notch,

and Arnie’s T-800 has gone fully “dad

mode,” yet the simplistic story line lacks

freshness, and it feels like Miller and

Cameron are just filling in a “Termina-

tor” bingo board to keep fans happy.


  1. ‘The Terminator’ (1984)


Cameron’s first low-budget sci-fi

flick was impressively original, with a

cool, mind-bending time-travel element

and a horror-villain approach with

Schwarzenegger’s title antagonist: He

was a relentless robotic killing machine

who won’t stop till you’re dead. The high

concept with Skynet and a pending ro-

bopocalypse is essential, but you can’t

say enough about how key Schwarze-

negger is – the huge and formidable

Austrian bodybuilder completely sells

the worst-case cyborg scenario.


  1. ‘Terminator 2:
    Judgment Day’ (1991)


One of the best sequels of all time,

Cameron succeeded in making every-

thing bigger and better for his second

“Terminator,” and it’s an outstanding

effort that influenced an entire genera-

tion of action movies. Hamilton’s tough

as nails, Robert Patrick’s liquid-metal

T-1000 is pure icy, unfeeling menace,

and Schwarzenegger is as great a good

guy protecting young John Connor (Ed-

ward Furlong) as he was an unstoppable

baddie in the first film. And you’d have

to be a Terminator to not tear up when

the reprogrammed T-800 gives a final

thumbs up to John while sinking into

molten metal. (Fortunately, he lived up

to that whole ‘I’ll be back” promise.)
