Dark Fate
''Terminator: Dark Fate'' is a 2019 American science fiction action film directed by Tim Miller and written by David Goyer, Justin Rhodes and Billy Ray from a story by James Cameron, Charles Eglee, Josh Friedman, Goyer and Rhodes. Cameron also produced the film with David Ellison. It is the sixth installment in the ''Terminator'' franchise and a direct sequel to '' Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' (1991), ignoring the events of '' Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'' (2003), '' Terminator Salvation'' (2009) and '' Terminator Genisys'' (2015), following the return of creative control to Cameron.

Terminator (franchise)
''Terminator'' is an American media franchise created by James Cameron. The franchise encompasses a series of science fiction action films, comics, novels and additional media, concerning a total war between Skynet (Terminator), Skynet's synthetic intelligence – a self-aware military machine network – and John Connor's Resistance forces comprising the survivors of the human, human race.

The Terminator
''The Terminator'' is a 1984 American science fiction action film directed by James Cameron. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son will one day save mankind from extinction by Skynet, a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future. Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a soldier sent back in time to protect Sarah. The screenplay is credited to Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd, while co-writer William Wisher Jr. received an "additional dialogue" credit. Cameron stated he devised the premise of the film from a fever dream he experienced during the release of his first film, '' Piranha II: The Spawning'' (1982), in Rome, and developed the concept in collaboration with Wisher. He sold the rights to the project to fellow New World Pictures alumna Hurd on the condition that she would produce the film only if he were to direct it; Hurd eventually sec ...

List Of Terminator Video Games
This list of ''Terminator'' video games includes video games based on the ''Terminator'' film series. The films generally focus on humans attempting to prevent the rise of Skynet, an artificial intelligence. In the future, Skynet will wipe out most of humanity with help from its army of Terminator machines. The first ''Terminator'' game was released for DOS in July 1991, and is based on the original film, '' The Terminator'' (1984). Other games based on the first film and its sequel, '' Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' (1991), were released over the next two years. Subsequent films also received game adaptations, and several non-film based games have also been released. ''The Terminator'' (1984 film) games Several video games titled ''The Terminator'' were released, each of them based on the 1984 film of the same name. By 1988, Danish company Robtek had acquired the license to create games based on the film, but it subsequently went into receivership before any game could be rel ...

Terminator (solar)
A terminator or twilight zone is a moving line that divides the daylit side and the dark night side of a planetary body. The terminator is defined as the locus of points on a planet or moon where the line through the center of its parent star is tangent. An observer on the terminator of such an orbiting body with an atmosphere would experience twilight due to light scattering by particles in the gaseous layer. Earth's terminator On Earth, the terminator is a circle with a diameter that is approximately that of Earth. The terminator passes through any point on Earth's surface twice a day, at sunrise and at sunset, apart from polar regions where this only occurs when the point is not experiencing midnight sun or polar night. The circle separates the portion of Earth experiencing daylight from that experiencing darkness (night). While a little over one half of Earth is illuminated at any point in time (with exceptions during eclipses), the terminator path varies by time of d ...

Terminator (electrical)
In electronics, electrical termination is the practice of ending a transmission line with a device that matches the characteristic impedance of the line. Termination prevents signals from reflecting off the end of the transmission line. Reflections at the ends of unterminated transmission lines cause distortion which can produce ambiguous digital signal levels and mis-operation of digital systems. Reflections in analog signal systems cause such effects as video ghosting, or power loss in radio transmitter transmission lines. Transmission lines Signal termination often requires the installation of a terminator at the beginning and end of a wire or cable to prevent an RF signal from being reflected back from each end, causing interference, or power loss. The terminator is usually placed at the end of a transmission line or daisy chain bus (such as in SCSI), and is designed to match the AC impedance of the cable and hence minimize signal reflections, and power losses.

Terminator (genetics)
In genetics, a transcription terminator is a section of nucleic acid sequence that marks the end of a gene or operon in genomic DNA during transcription. This sequence mediates transcriptional termination by providing signals in the newly synthesized transcript RNA that trigger processes which release the transcript RNA from the transcriptional complex. These processes include the direct interaction of the mRNA secondary structure with the complex and/or the indirect activities of recruited termination factors. Release of the transcriptional complex frees RNA polymerase and related transcriptional machinery to begin transcription of new mRNAs. In prokaryotes Two classes of transcription terminators, Rho-dependent and Rho-independent, have been identified throughout prokaryotic genomes. These widely distributed sequences are responsible for triggering the end of transcription upon normal completion of gene or operon transcription, mediating early termination of transcripts as a ...

Terminator (character Concept)
In the ''Terminator'' film series, a Terminator is an autonomous cyborg, typically humanoid, originally conceived as a virtually indestructible soldier, infiltrator, and assassin. James Cameron introduced the first Terminator character in the 1984 film ''The Terminator'', featuring a single cyborg simply called "The Terminator" or " Cyberdyne Systems Model 101", portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Characteristics In the ''Terminator'' multiverse, a Terminator is a cyborg assassin and soldier, designed for infiltration and combat duty, used by the military supercomputer Skynet toward the ultimate goal of exterminating the Human Resistance. Other supercomputers with the same goal include The Turk / "John Henry" and Legion, respectively competing with Skynet in the television series '' Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'' and the film '' Terminator: Dark Fate'', both of which take place in alternate timelines.

The Terminator (soundtrack)
''The Terminator: Original Soundtrack'' is a soundtrack album by Brad Fiedel, composed and performed on synthesizer for the 1984 film ''The Terminator''. Fiedel described the film's music as being about "a mechanical man and his heartbeat". Almost all the music in the film was performed live.Keegan, 2009. p.36 ''The Terminator'' theme is played over the opening credits and during certain scenes at varying tempos, including a piano version during the love scene and a slowed-down version when Reese dies.Hayward, 2004. p.168 It has been described as having a "deceptively simple melody" line and "haunting synthesizer music". It is in a time signature of , which came about as Fiedel experimented with the rhythm track on his music equipment, a Prophet-10 and an Oberheim. Originally intending the meter to be something simpler like , his finger was rushing when he activated the loop; however, Fiedel found that he liked the "herky-jerky" "propulsiveness" of and decided to keep it, not eve ...
