Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 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.
- GoofsIn the first The 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 versionsReleased 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.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The 81st Annual Academy Awards (2009)
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.
