With less than a month until Terminator: Dark Fate opens in theaters everywhere, the official runtime for upcoming sixth installment in the iconic sci-fi franchise has been revealed.
The British film ratings board has certified Dark Fate for audiences aged 15 and up due to "strong violence, bloody images and language," noting the movie will run for 128 minutes and 3 seconds, with the version of the film submitted to the ratings board not having to undergo any additional cuts to secure its rating.
At just over two hours, Dark Fate edges out 2015's Terminator Genisys as the second-longest film in the franchise, behind Terminator 2: Judgement Day, which had a theatrical cut of 137 minutes. All other installments of the franchise have runtimes of less than two hours.
Dark Fate features the return of co-creator James Cameron, who serves as a producer on the sequel, reuniting him with original stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. The film ignores the events of all but the first two films in the series as a new robotic killer arrives from the future to kill a young woman who holds the key to humanity's survival in a future war against the machines. The movie is expected to have a soft opening at the box office.
Directed by Tim Miller and produced by James Cameron, Terminator: Dark Fate stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Gabriel Luna, Natalia Reyes and Diego Boneta. The film opens Nov. 1.
