Directed by Oleg Stepchenko, for the first time, screen legends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan face off against each other in battle in this epic fantasy adventure, Iron Mask.
To save his homeland from certain doom, a kung fu master, played by Chan, must escape from the maniacal James Hook, played by Schwarzenegger, to send his daughter a secret talisman that will allow her to control a massive and mythical dragon.
This larger-than-life, globe-trotting tale – ranging from the impenetrable Tower of London to the fabled Silk Road and China’s Great Wall – also stars Rutger Hauer in one of the screen icon’s final performances.
The rest of the talented cast includes Jason Flemyng, Yao Xingtong, Anna Churina, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Martin Klebba, Charles Dance, and Christopher Fairbank.
Directed by Tim Miller, Terminator: Dark Fate continues the Terminator franchise that launched the careers of James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I am sure dozen others who work behind the scenes in the production.
The story attaches several writers to the screenplay with David Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Billy Ray credited. James Cameron, who produced the movie, too, Charles Eglee, and Josh Friedman credited for the overall story along with Goyer.
The movie follows Linda Hamilton, who played the original Sarah Connor. She joins a group of misfit survivors. Their purpose to keep a particular young woman, who can save the world, alive. They eventually hook up with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who plays T-800. It appears there are many T-800s or half-human and half robots in this movie. Some are good and some not so good, downright deadly.
Cameron and the two main characters are back.
The excitement of Hamilton and Schwarzenegger returning to their iconic roles is the driving force of the franchise claiming the box office, once again. Miller established himself as a director in the business for directing Deadpool. Goyer also wrote The Dark Knight and Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.
One-page production notes indicate the latest installment follows the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and the cast includes Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, and Diego Boneta. You might recognize Davis who played Tully in the Tully.
The third trailer looks inviting and entertaining. I am thinking about seeing it in the movie theater before it comes out on Blu-ray.
Watching this Spanish featurette, you can see the original Terminator storyline in the new movie. A woman is being chased by a robotic, and another robotic is trying to protect her. She needs to be kept alive to save the world. The scenes look sharp, and the acting is perfect. Call it nostalgia, seeing Hamilton and Schwarzenegger together, again, is way cool.
“Sarah’s Entrance” movie clip is perfect. She knows the lay of the land.
The feedback from people who have seen the movie is positive, and they say it’s similar to T2, which is a good thing.
The next clip is so cool to watch. We see the original Terminator, Schwarzenegger, take on the newest version.
