Product Description
Product Description
Terminator Salvation (Blu-ray) In the highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynets operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

Terminator Salvation restores some of the balance of huge freakin' explosions and emotionally compelling plot to the Terminator series. Set entirely after the nuclear assault that left the computer system Skynet in control of the world, Terminator Salvation follows John Connor (Christian Bale) as he grapples with both murderous robots and his superiors in the resistance, who aren't sure they believe the prophecies that Connor is destined to save humanity. Into the midst of this struggle tumbles Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington, who would later star in James Cameron's Avatar); the last thing he remembers was being executed in prison decades before. Baffled, he falls into company with Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin, Star Trek) and a mute little girl, who soon get captured--but Wright then meets and bonds with Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood, Eight Below), a resistance fighter who remains loyal to the confused Wright even though Connor suspects he's not what he seems--or what he believes himself to be. Terminator Salvation isn't the astonishing synthesis of action and feeling that either The Terminator or T2 were; the plot threads are poorly woven and fray completely in the last third of the movie. Despite this, Terminator Salvation has at least two skillfully orchestrated action sequences that will get your heart racing, and Worthington’s beguiling mixture of toughness and vulnerability gives his relationship with Bloodgood a genuine pulse. It's imperfect, but compared with the hollow carcasses that most action movies (including Terminator 3) turn out to be, it's worth seeing. --Bret Fetzer
On the Blu-ray disc
The director's cut is a mere three minutes longer than the theatrical cut. Many of these additions are just a few seconds of extra violence (e.g., a knife thrust into a body then pulled out), but there are a few more-substantial sequences: A longer conversation in Resistance Command Headquarters; a brief topless scene by Moon Bloodgood when her Blair Williams character and Sam Worthington's Marcus return to her base (reminiscent of Kelly McGillis and Harrison Ford in Witness); an extended conversation between those two characters afterward (Blair: "You can focus on what you've lost or you can fight for what's left"); and a longer radio address by John Connor in which he mentions his mother. Even though it's not all that different, it should be the preferred way to watch the movie.
The big extra feature, Maximum Movie Mode, is only on disc 2's original theatrical cut. In front of two large TV screens, director McG introduces the movie then makes periodic appearances to discuss key concepts. Interspersed along the way are various pop-ups with the Terminator mythology timeline, picture-in-picture with cast and crew interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, and stills galleries. You can also, when prompted, exit out of the movie to watch any of 11 Focus Points, which are two- to three-minute featurettes. Conveniently, you can also access these from the main menu. Two other features are watchable separate from Maximum Movie Mode: "Reforging the Future" (19 minutes), discussing the new film's take on the Terminator legacy, and "The Moto-Terminator" (8:33), focusing on the motorcycle-like robots. --David Horiuchi

Let me start off by proposing something in terms of the storyline in this film. This film takes place, supposedly, before John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to save his mother and in effect concieve John. If this is the case, I do not think we should be seeing a fully developed leader in John Connor at this point, which we don't. Christian Bale gives a solid performance, despite his cold demeanor and lack of ability to control the situation, despite having his mother's advice. The movie is clearly the setup for at least one more film, possibly two(depending on the gross) and is a very good starting point.
The effects are just outstanding in the film, to say the least. I actually enjoyed very much that they started this film with the "lumbering hulk" T-800's as the primitive Terminators instead of jumping right into a realm of something much more advanced. If you're planning more films, you can't throw out your best material in the first film, you just can't, so I understand the logic. The HK's are great, but the best on-screen behemoth is by far the massive 4-5 story tall Termninator(I want to say they are called Chimera, or were in Cameron's versions possibly). I actually thought they did a pretty good job sending the impression of danger, especially thanks to the sound effects, and I felt like it was hopeless for anyone to escape the thing. The cinematography is quit gripping at certain points, such as the scene on the outskirts of a Resistance base that involves a burning treeline, a helicopter crash, and a nice scene done in a nearby pool of water. Even the scenes involving air combat are quite well done and do not go over the top at all, they run at a pace that is completelly realistic and exciting at the same time. The sets and imagery used for the film are all very well done I think, much moreso than a post-apocalyptic film like Resident Evil 3. They use a slight grain fliter in the camera work, but it is never overbearing. It is varied as well as shown in the final section of the film that takes place in an environment that is juxtaposed to the bleak wastelands that the Resistance calls home.
I think the main thing to consider in this film is the timeline in which it takes place. As odd as it is, this film presents less advanced technology in terms of the termninators and weapons used by the resistance than the first two, but I think it is done for continuity to keep with the idea that this is not yet the future where Connor is shown in T2.
There are certainly a couple of instances in the film that bugged me in terms of believablity, but they are minor enough for them to not ruin the rest of the film for me. The story could have been fleshed out somewhat more, but again, this isn't meant to be the endall of the franchise and I don't expect them to reinvent the wheel in terms of what the story actually is. There is a story in this film, and it is given to you in fair doses and paced well between action sequences. To say there is no story in the film is rather ignorant. Story is dilemma and John Connor most certinaly has a large Dilemma in the film. There can be no film without a story and this film is no different.
This film will please many action film lovers as it is a great one, but it is not just an "action film". It is what you make of it folks and I went in with an open mind and left the theater(as did my wife) loving the film for what it was. The film could never outdo T2, not many can, but this is a different time for filmmaking and it is done well within those confines. I am actually quite excited for the next film and hope they up the anty quite a bit in both story and visual effects, but only time will tell.
Love that this film begins and ends with the power of choices, asking the question if someone who has live a bad life can do good. We're able to see that answered in different ways, but Marcus really shines in this film for me. Yes it's about John Connor and the power of "resisting", but it is also about doing the right thing even when it's difficult.
So much action and life lessons that entertains and gives you hope. All is not lost if you make the choice that you want to be better. Fantastic movie.
First off, this is not Arnold's Terminator. If you're expecting the same thing as the first three, you'll be disappointed by this movie. Nor is it a serious philosophical work. It is simply a continuation of the first three, from a somewhat different -- but not contradictory -- light.
The story follows John Connor and Marucs Wright, two very different individuals whose fates nonetheless seem intertwined. Connor leads a raid against one of Skynet's prisoner-holding facilities; in the process, many die. Connor makes it out alive, but so does someone else...Wright, who was being held in the facility, emerges a few minutes after Connor is extricated. Thus begins a long, twisted path on which both men embark. Along the way, they find themselves on the same team -- often doubting the other's intentions -- and yet at odds when the dark secret of Wright's resurrection -- after his execution before Judgment Day -- comes to light.
Meanwhile, they learn that Skynet is using them both to ensnare Connor as well as Kyle Reese, in order to manipulate history in their own favor; at the same time, Skynet is manipulating the Resistance itself, offering up a sort of "Trojan Horse" in order to take out high command.
There are many twists and turns along the rocky road to "Salvation" -- personal, and of the Resistance -- but both men make the journey. In the end, one will sacrifice all to give the other a chance at life.
Now, aside from my brief retelling (trying not to give away too much), my opinion. It's very well done, and highly enjoyable, to me at least. Obviously, there are many who disagree. But I enjoyed the twists and turns, and actually saw the movie several times while it was playing at my local theater. Would I recommend seeing it before you buy it? Yes, if for no other reason because so many are so disappointed in it. I, however, think it is one of the best, if not the best, in the series -- certainly better than 2 and 3 imho. Keep in mind that my parents were from the generation that saw and loved the first two in theaters, and I'm not; and, frankly, I don't know how much my Dad -- who loved the first -- would care for this one. I approach this having seen the first two around when T3 (which I wasn't terribly fond of) came out.
Also, this is best seen more than once to make certain that you catch everything; for a "light" movie (which it certainly is), it tends to jump about, and make sudden detours. Not unpleasantly, to me at least, but there it is. My advice? See it with an open mind, and don't expect a masterpiece. If you do, you might like it; I personally thought it was awesome.

Il quarto capitolo della saga di Terminator o forse sarebbe meglio dire il primo della seconda trilogia prevista è un film di alto livello ottimamente diretto, sceneggiato ed interpretato. Rispetto al terzo episodio si sale notevolmente e si da inizio ad una nuova saga dall'accattivante ambientazione futura, senza salti nel tempo. Il giorno del giudizio è giunto e nulla si può fare per tornare indietro come nei tre precedenti film. Skynet va distrutta nel futuro, non più prima della sua nascita, e per fare questo c'è bisogno di John Connors e della Resistenza.
Sul confezionamento darei una stella visto che si tratta della classica cover Amaray in plastica sempre bruttina e sempre odiata da tutti i collezionisti di film.
Ai collezionisti consiglio di acquistare un edizione con cover SteelBook di importazione; ce ne sono svariate (svedese, inglese, tedesca, coreana) a costi diversi ed alcune anche con l'audio direttamente in italiano (inglese e svedese se ricordo bene)..
Quella tedesca di sicuro la trovate quasi sempre anche su Amazon, per le altre più pregiate andate sul sicuro se la cercate su EBay.
Passando alla qualità del film direi che il Comparto Audio/Video è semplicemente Perfetto!!!!!
Normalmente scrivo un minimo di commento su video e audio per identificare le principali qualità e difetti, ma in questo caso la recensione è semplicissima in quanto sia il video che l'audio non hanno alcun difetto.
Se per il video questa può non essere una sorpresa vedendo anche altri film in BluRay, per l'audio invece è una grandissima sorpresa. Per la prima volta ho potuto ascoltare una traccia italiana della stessa qualità di quella inglese.
Roba da commuoversi
Buona visione e buon ascolto a tutti
Terminator 4 then is a refreshing change from the routine. No longer a film from the prespective of the past (our present) they are now telling the story of the future and mans resistance to the machines years after 'Judgement Day'. What is really clever however is that they have also turned the formua in on itself by making the past come to the present although not through any time machine.
The action is excellent without getting too over the top. The scenes with the actual early-version terminators are also impressive .... especially since these earlier models being built before Skynet perfected linking living-tissue too machine; making them look almost like zombies or some super-mutant from the Fallout video-games.
Honestly, if most people watch this movie with an open mind they will find a film that lives up very well with the first 2 movies and is a lot, lot better than the 3rd. The acting is decent, theres nothing wrong with the script, its not too over-the-top, the characters are interesting and overall this film is an intelligently achieved break from the tired old fomua. Good film.
