    The movie might not be great but still watchable and will entertain

    Terminator Salvation is a Sci-fi action movie directed by McG and stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Late Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common, Jadagrace Berry and Helena Bonham Carter.

    The fourth instalment of Terminator brings you the continued fight between humans and the machines. This time the fight is against the new model T-800 that can wipe out humanity from earth.

    If you have to enjoy this movie you have to watch the movie with a fresh perspective and without any comparison from it's previously made parts. If you do so you will surely enjoy this movie.

    There is nothing new in the plot and the plot is predictable and bit mash up but the execution of the movie is decent, the movie is filled with action scenes, gun fights, chases and some emotion.

    Acting is superb and I have to admit that Christian Bale has infused a new life in the character of John Connor, he looks macho, strong and is perfectly effective. Sam Worthington was great and gives a superb support to Christian Bale, he impresses whenever he comes to the screen, rest all of the characters had limited screen space but they will impress.

    Screenplay is fast paced and intense and will keep you on the edge of the seat, action scenes are superb and must be appreciated, us of CGI is also effective. Few viewers might complaint that nothing new is been offered and CGI is been used excessively and I also agree to some extent, but still the movie is an all round decent action thriller movie which misses sometimes and sometimes got hit and we can't deny that it's a fun ride.

    Undoubtedly better than any Terminator movie that came afterwards

    Undoubtedly better than any Terminator movie that came afterwards.

    This movie may not be perfect and not as good as the first two Terminator films,, but it is a fun watch (maybe as a guilty pleasure).

    The acting ist good. Christian Bale as John Connor is as best as it gets. Sam Worthington does, as always, a decent Job as the lead character.

    I liked the production desing. One could wish that it should have gone in that or this direction, but overall they did a good job.

    The cameo of Arnie as a CGI-character and a fresh T800 was enjoable and fun.

    People gave it a lot of flaming back in the days - but, hey - it's at least as good as the 3rd movie and it's definitely better than anything that came afterwards, at least regarding story and characters.

    Stop expecting the greatness of T2......Better then T3 and Genisys

    Terminator Salvation gets panned left and right.....but let me first say this is way more better then T3 and Genisys by miles.

    Not only is it a serious terminator movie.....its more faithful to the first 2, yes it has plot holes and not die hard terminator violence but what do you expect when companies are trying to make everything PG13 for money.

    This is the Terminator movie you get, to throwbacks to Guns n Rose you could be mine to a CGI arnie wreaking havoc, yes it could of been done better but some of it is actually really good, just accept and stop expecting the greatness of T2, that was cameron and this is MCG two different directors.

    The acting is good, don't know what everyone is going on about with Bale being a weak connor when he is perfect for the role, yelchin plays a fantastic kyle reese and sam worthington is great as marcus.

    Relax, watch and enjoy a good summer action movie with no expectations, the opening helicopter scene is a work of art.

    TS - 7/10

    I don't understand why people dislike this so much

    This movie has a...um...different ending? Yeah, it's different but despite all that I really don't get all the hate. It's an enjoyable action flick that builds on the Terminator franchise in a satisfying way. I dig it.

    Salvation takes itself seriously. Is this so much to ask from future sequels?

    This would be the third best Terminator film and the closest we have gotten to a realistic take on the future war from the original Terminator films.

    What I love about this film is the post apocalyptic setting and the grittiness of it all. No out of character jokes like T3 and the silliness of Genysis.

    There are some amazing scenes, this film trades big budget emotionless action scenes for more personal intense realistic altercations between earlier terminator designs.

    The film is not quite a classic but thoroughly enjoyable serious about what it wants to achieve. This is a story arc and setting I would love to see another sequel to.

    Hopefully after the bombs of Genysis and Dark Fate we can get back to a story which concentrates on the script and character development. Give us a future war.

    • Trivia
      The only film in the series not to feature Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was unavailable due to serving as the Governor of California at the time. Instead, bodybuilder Roland Kickinger was used for T-800's brief appearance, with Schwarzenegger's likeness digitally superimposed.
    • Goofs
      In the first Terminator (1984), Kyle Reese explains to Sarah that he was born in the camps and bred as a soldier of the resistance. In Salvation, we can clearly see that he was just an ordinary civilian survivor of the war and did not become an actual resistance soldier until he was a young man. This is not necessarily a goof. He could have been exaggerating to impress her in the first movie. Alternately, the time travels of the sequels could have changed the events of his early life.
    • Quotes

      John Connor: The devil's hands have been busy. What is it?

      Kate Connor: It's real flesh and blood, though it seems to heal itself quickly. The heart is human and very powerful. The brain, too, but with a chip interface.

      Marcus Wright: What have you done to me?

      Kate Connor: It has a hybrid nervous system. One human cortex, one machine.

      Marcus Wright: Blair, what have they done?

      John Connor: Who built you?

      Marcus Wright: My name is Marcus Wright.

      John Connor: You think you're human?

      Marcus Wright: I am human.

    • Alternate versions
      Released on Blu-Ray as an R-rated director's cut with about three minutes of extra footage:
      • When John Connor and company infiltrate the underground base, a sentry robot pops up and is quickly dispatched. This scene was present in the teaser trailer.
      • Extra dialogue between Connor and Ashdown on the submarine. Ashdown points a gun at Connor's head and says he doesn't believe in prophecy.
      • Blair bathes in the rain for a moment then sees Marcus looking at her. She covers herself and Marcus turns away.
      • The scene with the two marauders is more violent. Marcus is actually showing stabbing one of them in the shoulder with a screwdriver, the fistfight with the second guy is longer, and a bloody impact is seen when Blair shoots one of the marauders in the leg.
      • Longer dialogue from Blair during the campfire scene with Marcus.
      • The sequence of the man being shot trying to scale the fence at the Skynet processing center is slightly longer.
      • John Connor's speech to the remaining resistance forces is extended.
      • The fight between the T-800 and Marcus is a few seconds longer.
      • Marcus trying to revive John Connor is slightly longer.
