This is probably 90% of why I love Terminator Dark Fate so much, to be honest. It's got flaws, it's got missed opportunities, but - it doesn't wink to the camera on the premise. The characters take the stakes seriously, nobody is aware they're in a Terminator movie. They never treat it as an in-joke with the audience that they're all in on too.

People talk shit about Dani's reaction to seeing the Rev 9's face in the factory for the first time, but that's exactly what that is - she has absolutely no frame of reference for seeing a metal skull with glowing eyes where somebody's face used to be. She has never seen a Terminator poster, trailer or movie, she doesn't even have a starting point to try to guess what is happening or what to do. Good!

It's good Grace is so serious! It's good Sarah shows the toll it's all taken on her! It's good they're too tense and scared to banter about how silly it all is! Their world is real to them!

That's why so much of the moaning about it taking itself so seriously was so stupid. It should! It should be asking me to buy into it almost as far as the characters do until the credits roll, or what's the point?

I told Linda Hamilton I was a big Dark Fate fan and she looked right at me and said "We worked so fucking hard on that movie."

Good!

Everyone is nostalgic and no one is sincere. Do you get the idea

Terminator: Dark Fate - Augmented Cut.

Format is MKV and the file size is 3.06GB. Mega doesn't seem to like IE, so if you're having trouble try a different browser or switch between Mobile/Desktop.

A little rough around the edges in points, and not all of the changes I'd daydreamed about here were possible (still no Chinese Cut for that "kill you" line 😔) but here's somethin'.

Link and breakdown of changes are under the cut, but it's up to you if you want to know them in advance :D

Feel free to share around. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Night Scenes - Night scenes have been color graded a little to be more in tune with T1 and T2.

Intro - Movie now cuts directly from Sarah's Pescadero video to Grace's arrival.

Truck Chase - Some of the slow motion has been ditched to give the chase more immediacy, and the odd CGI of Grace being flung from the truck has been removed. I think it's a big improvement, if I say so myself, particularly to the rebar impact.

Remove the ADR’d line about Grace’s augments at 38:37 - "You know, enhanced speed and strength, Thorium reactor?". I just think it's awkward.

The imagined Terminator invasion/John’s death from the start of the movie has been moved into the hotel exposition scene - Not the most graceful cut, but the editor did what they could.

Shoulder touch in the bed of the pickup has been added back in - Not as slick as I'd like, but whaddaya gonna do.

The Crossing Deleted Scene - The alternate Border Crossing scene where Dani's uncle is killed has been edited back in, though the reuse of the computer search animation has been removed and some of the slow motion nixed.

CBP Escape - Dani's relief that Grace is alive and the slow motion handhold shot have been edited back in.

Alicia Confronts Sarah Deleted Scene - The deleted scene of Alicia confronting Sarah about Carl has been restored.

Scavenger Flashback/ “Let Me Save You” Deleted Scene - The concluding part of Grace's ruins flashback (forward?) reshoot has been removed, and replaced with Grace's "Let Me Save You" scene. Removing the reshoot takes the "raised me" line out.

"She's John" line has been removed.

Underwater Humvee sequence - This has been edited down and shortened to remove some of the sketchy CGI and present the scene more from the claustrophobic interior POV as they wait for the Rev 9 to attack.

"It will fry his neural net" line has been removed.

"You killed everything I loved" subtitle has been corrected.

Hope you enjoy. Let me know if you come across any glitches or issues.
