Terminator 2: Judgment Day didn’t just smash box office records; it redefined cinematic sequels and etched itself into the halls of sci-fi legend. The liquid metal T-1000, the protective T-800, the relentless stakes – it was a masterclass. Then came the inevitable return in 2003 with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, followed by a detour into the past with Christian Bale leading the prequel, Terminator Salvation. But the pull of the future (and the past) is strong. In 2015, Terminator Genisys attempted a reboot, and then, in 2019, the iconic roar of the Terminator engine echoed once more with Terminator: Dark Fate. This time, however, felt different. For the first time since the groundbreaking Terminator 2, the visionary director and writer himself, James Cameron, returned to the franchise, not to direct, but to produce and shape the story. And that wasn’t all.
