Future War concept art by Alex Ichim
Terminator: Dark Fate’s future war scenes are battle of Normandy-esque (which took place during World War II).
What do you think of the visual effects of the future war and dam scenes in T: DF?

they should have just re-master the first 2 terminators and work on the future war scenes making them as bad-ass as the 30 seconds long tech demo at the beginning of the movie, along with fixing the janky t800 puppet and some practical effects like the puppet arnold head
This war scene is very well done IMO. But too short:). And the scene where John Connor killed also very well done but should have been just a Sarah’s bad dream and waking up and everything is ok.
the underwater parts looked terrible
Terminator 1 had best scene about the future war.
