Lifetime Series!
has not many films and TV works that can use this title, and "Terminator 6: Dark Destiny" released on November 1 is indeed one of these few works.
James Cameron + Arnold Schwarzenegger + Linda Hamilton, for the Terminator fans, it is already a carnival feast. Not to mention in the plot, "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" also continues "Terminator 2: Judgment Day". For the three works after the second part of the series, "Card God" also personally stamped "Happened in Works of the usual world".
So, no matter how you look at it, this is a true return after 28 years after "Terminator 2: Judgment Day".
calls it a lifetime, and it deserves its name.
is a cast that is enough to excite every Terminator fan, so that "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" has already set a high score of 8.0 on Douban before the movie is on the theater line, which is also in the past 28 years. The best result of the Terminator series.
However, this score was greatly reduced after the film was fully launched. In only 4 days, the Douban score fell to 7.2. While the
Douban score declined, the film's box office was also far below market expectations.
, a new work with a budget of US$185 million, had a gross box office of US$124 million in the first week of the world three days after its release.
may not be intuitive enough to say that. Taking the 2015 "Terminator: Genesis" as a comparison, it has earned a global box office of 432 million US dollars at a cost of 155 million US dollars, and this result can only be barely profitable.
Judging from the opening results of "Terminator 6: Dark Fate", the global box office of the film is estimated to only hit 300 million US dollars.
"Terminator 6: Dark Fate" opened in some theaters in North America in advance on the evening of last Thursday (October 31). It will be shown in 4,086 theaters across the United States on November 1st, including advance shows. The first day's box office received a total of 10.6 million US dollars. .
is a lot better than the first day score of "Terminator: Genesis" ($8.93 million), but it is still not satisfactory compared with the R-rated sci-fi movies in recent years, such as "Alien: Contract" and "Blade Runner" 2049" etc.
received another $11 million on Saturday after the film, and finally topped the North American weekend box office list with a record of $29 million in three days.
said it was the summit, but the results were actually dismal. The situation of
is similar to that of the North American box office, and the film's domestic box office performance is not impressive. Although
occupies a high proportion of 38.9% of the film on the first day of the release, it only closed at the box office of 57.628 million yuan, and the box office results on the weekend two days were only 67.04 million yuan and 49.963 million yuan.
At the same time, the single-day box office has always been suppressed by "Youth You", which was released a week in advance, and the box office barely passed the 200 million mark after being released for 4 days.
According to this development, the domestic box office performance is basically impossible to counterattack again.
However, one thing has to be said, although its performance at the box office is not very outstanding, the media evaluation of the film is unexpectedly good. 70% of the 230 media included by
on Rotten Tomatoes gave it positive reviews, and the audience’s praise rate was as high as 85%; the 45 authoritative media included on the
MetaCritic website gave it an average of 54 points, much higher than the 38 of "Terminator 5" Minute.
In fact, in addition to the old plot and no more surprises, "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" can still see the shadow of the producer's intentions, especially in the role setting.
It can be said that the character setting of the film can clearly see its progress with the times.
For example, in this new work, the female character Danni, who is in the same situation as Sarah in the predecessor, is different from Sara's model of changing from weak to strong. Danni is a "strong man" from the beginning.
can tell from her appearance that she is almost a pillar at home, preparing lunch for the family and taking her younger brother to work in the factory.
Immediately after having trouble working in his brother's factory, she came forward to confront the factory leaders. After losing her family to
, Dany also finishedAfter her transformation, she grew up from an ordinary family woman into a determined female fighter. Even after many years,
was also led by the Human Resistance Army herself, and the guardian was also set to be a female, so that the weight of female characters in the film is much heavier than the previous one.
Of course, the most surprising performance of the three women in the film is the veteran female warrior Sarah Connor, both in terms of aura and fighting.
is also because the film’s portrayal of female characters is aggravated, which instead turns the villain robot, which should have been one of the highlights of the film, into a tool man. Although the several fights of the villain robot REV-9 in the
film looked very exciting, because of the aura of the protagonist group of Danni and his party, the tension in these fights was reduced a lot.
But there is another problem here. Since there are elements of the new era that keep pace with the times in the film, the in-depth exploration of themes in the film has not been described in depth.
In fact, the reason why "Terminator" series 1.2 has a good reputation and good results is that in addition to being a classic action science fiction movie, there is also the humanistic care and exploration of the characters in the movie.
In "Judgment Day", the heartbreaking farewell scene between the Terminator and John is far more shocking than the first half of the desperate fight.
And the changes in the subtle emotions between humans and robots before the film are really moving.
can do this, but it is not reflected in "Terminator 6: Dark Fate".
Generally speaking, "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" is a movie that sells feelings. It is not accurate. Feelings are not its only feature. Except for the old faces, it can be called a qualified one. Popcorn movie. Although
except for the old governor, the decent protagonists are all female characters, but the action scenes are actually well shot, from the ground to the sky to the water, anyway, as long as they fight, they will never be soft.
For fans who want to relax watching movies, this movie is a good choice for this schedule.
