To help you out, we're breaking down the best way to watch all-things Terminator. This guide presents the Terminator movies in a timeline, by order of the events that happen in the franchise. If you'd prefer to keep things simpler, we've also included a release date order of all the Terminator movies at the bottom of this guide. A spoiler-free bulleted version of the Terminator chronological timeline is also listed at the bottom.
The Terminator series doesn't squeeze into a typical chronology, because it's premise is about changing the past to shape the future. But if we strictly stick to an order starting from the earliest events, then this film opens with John Conner Jason Clarke having defeated Skynet in and sending Kyle Reese Jai Courtney to to save John's mother, Sarah Emilia Clarke.
However, it's not the past Reese expected: Sarah has spent her entire life preparing to fight the machines. It's important to know this film is a reset for the entire Terminator universe.
It changes events from the first Terminator film - when Sarah didn't have time to prepare. But since it actually has scenes from the future, and is part of a rebooted timeline, you could also watch it last as a standalone film.
Either way, it shows how the franchise goes full-circle. The Terminator series kicks off with the original film starring a robot killer known as Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He's been sent to , from war-ravaged , to kill Sarah Connor Linda Hamilton , the mother of the savior of the human race.
It's revealed that a computer defense system, called Skynet, became self-aware in and views humanity as its greatest threat. It's up to Sarah and Kyle to defeat the Terminator and stop the extinction of humankind at the behest of Skynet. Diehard franchise fans were probably both weary and wary of another while others were probably confused by where this new film stood and whether one would need to catch up on the films in-between before shelling out to go see it.
Last year, saw The Predator crash land, this year saw Rambo: Last Blood killed and the disappointing performance of Alien: Covenant has left that franchise in a cryogenic sleep. Again, this was envisioned as the first part of a new trilogy but according to sources, post-box office wreckage, there are no plans for a follow-up.
If a figure from the future were to arrive in with a message, it would probably be a desperate plea to stop making any more of these damn movies. Darkest fate: how the Terminator franchise was finally terminated.
Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator: Dark Fate. The Terminator franchise is dead. She informs him that the terminator he met was intended to murder her when she was nine years old and that the terminator, along with her, was sent to save her and has been her friend and protector ever since. They intercepted the terminator he was following and want to use its chip to trigger a time machine they constructed in order to go to , the year Skynet was launched, but Reese believes they should travel to , not He claims that a voice or memory instructs him to remember the date because that is when they will be able to defeat Skynet.
Thus, Sarah and Reese go, the terminator remains behind and promises to meet them at their arrival, but they are detained upon their arrival and an unexpected visitor appears.
Seven years later, James Cameron returned to develop and film Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the sequel to his s classic. This is, in many respects, the first successful reboot of The Terminator series. The Terminator franchise begins with the first film, which stars a robotic assassin known as Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, the Terminator is emotionless, he does not sleep, and most importantly, he will not stop until he completes his heinous job. Is our future entwined with our past? This is a follow-up to the first Terminator film. It starts up 11 years later, in Sarah Connor Linda Hamilton is serving a jail sentence for attempting to bomb a computer industry, while her son, John Connor Edward Furlong , is an adolescent living in foster care in Los Angeles.
Two terminators from the future have come with conflicting missions: an exact replica of the original T Arnold Schwarzenegger and a new T liquid metal terminator Robert Patrick.
Linda Hamilton is no longer the helpless damsel in distress in need of a future rescuer, and Arnold is no longer the mindless killer intent on her demise. She is a caged animal on the run, and he is a cyborg assigned to rescue the child whose existence had been ensured by a prior T model. In The Abyss, cutting-edge computer graphics brought the liquid metal T Robert Patrick to life as the shapeshifting automaton on the hunt for John Connor Edward Furlong.
Over a decade has passed since the first Terminator attempted to murder Sarah Connor and her unborn son, John. However, the supercomputer Skynet sends another Terminator, the T, back in time. This new Terminator is more sophisticated and powerful than the first, and its goal is to eliminate John Connor while he is still a kid. Sarah and John, however, are not alone in their struggle against the T menace.
Another Terminator is also sent back in time to defend them similar to the one that attempted and failed to murder Sarah Connor in Now has started the fight for tomorrow. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines brought the Terminator series back to cinemas after a year hiatus.
The film serves as an unceremonious send-off for Sarah Connor Linda Hamilton and is the first installment of the series that James Cameron or director of photography Adam Greenberg left unfinished Ghost.
Arnold vs. Terminator 3 starts up a decade after the events of Terminator 2. Skynet is compelled to pursue him by pursuing other members of his resistance organization and, of course, by returning a new terminator, the T-X. Regrettably, SkyNet does return another — and this one is dubbed the T-X, which is much more powerful and sophisticated than the feared T Now, in the appearance of a computer virus, Skynet is slowly assuming control of civilian computer systems.
However, when the SkyNet virus enters the computers of the United States military, exposing the nation to assault, the robots begin their heinous conquest.
