Product Description
Terminator 4: Salvation (Rpkg/BD) 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.

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.
I would say right off that bat that if you were lukewarm or worse about prior TERMINATORs...there is no reason to bother with SALVATION. It will not change your mind, unless you have a Christian Bale fixation, I guess. The film, which does have some strengths, will in no way change the mind of a doubter.
I'm a pretty big fan of the original trilogy, but not exactly a fan-boy either. I don't parse every action and I sure don't spend a great deal of time working out the time-travel inconsistencies. There are some in this film, just as one could argue there are in all the others. To me, it all boils down to whether a nearly all-powerful computer can also somehow see into the future. Whatever...I choose to go with it.
The original TERMINATOR, however dated the effects are now, is still a superlative sci-fi action film, with a near perfect mix of action, sci-fi "stuff", humor and romance. Michael Biehn made a great Reese, the hero sent from the future to save Sarah Connor, the destined-to-be-the-mother of John Connor, the human who will defeat Skynet, the aforementioned supercomputer. Arnold Schwartzeneggar is the Terminator sent by Skynet from the future to kill Sarah (Linda Hamilton). Arnold (Schwartzeneggar is simply too long to type over and over!) created his signature role, a part that fit his limited skills and his assets perfectly. Odd inflections worked for this robot covered in skin. A super-buff body also worked perfectly. It was an original and thoroughly enjoyable minor sci-fi masterpiece.
TERMINATOR 2 was a major sci-fi masterpiece. Not only did it introduce CGI to an astounded world, but it was one of the most thrilling action movies of all time...with a brainy plot, great action sequences, and a breathtaking performance from Linda Hamilton. She is still (along with Ripley from ALIEN, et. al.) THE great female action character. Arnold was a "nice" robot now, and he pulled off the part with near perfection. As limited as the man is as an actor, this role was crafted perfectly to him...and making him a hero also made him immensely appealing. This is a movie that even to this day, I can watch about every 2 years or so and still enjoy the heck out of.
TERMINATOR 3 shows the now nearly adult John Connor running from a new Terminator, with the assistance of a new Arnold. I know a lot of people really dislike the film, and it DOES feel moldy compared to the 2nd film. There's nothing too earthshattering to say with this film...yet I still enjoyed. There's a great car chase, featuring a fire truck. There's some important new things to learn about how Skynet "becomes aware." Arnold and Nick Stahl have some good scenes together, and even shiny-skinned Claire Danes is sympathetic and enjoyable. While the movie suffers in comparison to what came before, I still enjoyed it.
Now, many years later, SALVATION comes along. Some time has passed since Judgement Day, and now the human survivors are clinging to life amid the rubble of civilization. John Connor (Bale) is emerging a strong resistance leader, although not yet clearly the "savior" of mankind. He becomes aware that Skynet is out to get not only him, but young Reese (Anton Yelchin) as well, thus killing the boy who is soon to grow up to become his father. (Again, how does the computer know this BEFORE it has even happened?) As Connor works to find Reese and also a way to destroy Skynet...Reese is a somewhat incompetent resistance fighter living in "downtown" LA. He meets up with Marcus Wright (newcomer Sam Worthington), a man who is not all he thinks he is. (I won't say anymore about Wright's character...he's by far the most interesting and complex creation in this film.) Wright & Reese eventually join Connor, and they may join forces to fight Skynet.
The film features many fantastic visuals and some nicely staged action sequences. The movie was filmed in the deserts of New Mexico (including one car chase that was filmed less than half a mile from some land I'm building a house on!!), and the bleached filmstock used to capture the dryness of the desert gives the whole film an appropriately desolate feel. It's the best post-apocalyptic landscape since THE ROAD WARRIOR. Actions fans should enjoy the fun explosions set against such a bleak and lovely landscape.
Fans of character development and good acting will be left wanting. I've never been a big fan of Bale (except perhaps in AMERICAN PSYCHO). His Batman/Bruce Wayne leaves me very, very cold. To me he just seems smarmy...and I'm very tired of his gravelly voice. He doesn't give a performance in this film, as much as he tries to assert his presence. "Look, it's me...I'm charismatic," seems to be his attitude. Sam Worthington is far more interesting as Marcus Wright, and his scenes are the best, without a doubt...yet even he bounces from American to Australian accents without a care in the world. Anton Yelchin is far too lightweight for me to believe he will grow up to be the tough, sinewy Reese of the original TERMINATOR. Dallas Bryce Howard looks great (those eyes!) as Connor's wife, but has nothing to do. Helena Bonham Carter looks bored. Jane Alexander looks dewy-eyed and bored. Michael Ironsides (one of the greatest names for an actor ever!) is his usual monotone self.
The film simply fails to generate real suspense. It has moments of sound and fury...but the story has no compelling arch and leaves no feeling of anticipation to see what happens next. We seldom worry for a character...and we should be worried, because circumstances are bleak.
When the movie was over, I had not one single glimmering of "can't wait for the next one," even though it's clear they plan to make another sequel (or two, I've heard).
It's not a dreadful movie, but where the first 2 TERMINATORs broke new ground in their genre, SALVATION feels like a half-hearted creative effort, at best.
(PS: You may have heard that Arnold makes an appearance. Let me just say that if you've seen Patrick Stewart in WOLVERINE or know what the makers of GLADIATOR did with Oliver Reed after his death, then you get some idea of the value of Arnold's "appearance" here.)

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.
