I just watched the last Terminator movie with both Linda Hamilton and Arnie.
And Eric was right, it was good.
But... what I don't get... in this movie they say John was killed by Arnie. Yet in the 3rd and 4th movies you see a grown-up John, and in the 3rd Arnie is back too.
So I don't get this new story twist. It's as if they completely ignore the previous 2 movies.
I also wonder how on Earth they did the shot in which John gets killed as we see the kids and a young Linda Hamilton and a young Arnie.

So yes, a good movie, but also a bit weird in that sense.

Alternate timeline
In the previous films Skynet survived each attempt to stop it but in Dark Fate, Skynet was beaten and it was a time glitch of multiple T-101 that were sent back at different times before Skynet fell.

In 1998, three years after averting the threat of Skynet, Sarah and John Connor are enjoying life by a beach in Livingston, Guatemala, when they are suddenly attacked by a T-800 Terminator. One of several sent back through time by Skynet prior to its erasure, the Terminator kills John before leaving.
Arnie, the Carl terminator, is the T-101 which actually killed John after Skynet's demise. He anonymously sent coordinates of the other T-101s sent in the same time jump but to multiple time destinations as a penance for killing John after Skynet no longer existed. He developed a conscious.

a young version of John Connor created using CGI and motion capture.
Aaron Kunitz provided the voice of young John Connor.
Jude Collie served as a body double for young John Connor, onto which Furlong's facial likeness from the 1990s was applied.


Maddy Curley serves as a stunt actress and body double for young Sarah Connor, with CGI applied to recreate Hamilton's facial likeness from the 1990s opening scene.

Brett Azar serves as a body double for the young T-800, with CGI applied to recreate Schwarzenegger's facial likeness from the 1990s opening scene.

Ah, okay, so they did come up with a gather a plausible explanation. I don't totally get it, but a bit.
