Seoul: As the much-awaited film Terminator: Dark Fate hits the big screens on Friday, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he feels action genres can entertain the audience better.
With the sixth instalment of the blockbuster hit Terminator, the Hollywood star is back to action. The actor has also opened up about the evolution of action cinema, especially the Terminator films, over the years.
Speaking about the film, Schwarzenegger said: "What actually has changed is that you can entertain people better now. When your stunts and physical action run out, you can then add visual effects. I think technology has changed in a way that it benefits viewers and fans."
Interacting with the media outlets, he said, "From a look point of view, I think everything is the same. You still have to come very prepared to the set, you still have to train, you still have to work with the weapons, you still have to know the training and all that stuff. From the Terminator point of view, you still have to fight with the machine, like it was in 1984."

The Terminator franchise has defined the career trajectory of the Hollywood icon over 35 years now. The James Cameron directorial which released in October 1984 transformed Schwarzenegger into a cinematic icon. The former bodybuilder has never looked back since then.
The 1991 sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day is still the highest-grossing part in the series which have raked in $520 million at the worldwide box office.
When asked if he expects the same from Terminator: Dark Fate, Schwarzenegger laughed and said: "I don't expect... You cant. It's like the same thing during political campaign and elections. You never know how the result will turn out to be. So I am not going to speculate, and I really do not believe in numbers."
Directed by Tim Miller, Terminator: Dark Fate is being touted as a direct sequel to 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
The film ignores the events of the three films which released in between.
