My sister watched it today. She said you not worth of watching. So IDK, I might not watch it.

the show is really worth watching..
I really hope it could have a better storyline..
tell us in specifi what T-series are..
at least we wouldnt get confused..

the movie was pretty stupid and corny but at least it's still enjoyable to watch. the background settings were awesome.

6/10

Good morning every fan and critics of Terminators
I also expecting the same thing. Cut scenes maybe?
Or later got Terminator 3.5 to explains everything or TSCC season 2

It did introduce itself to Kyle.

Yup. Alternate future, T888 back in the past ( TSCC ) Cool based on William Candy- T101(T800 series) which got learning cpu for T2, T800 for T4,T-850 harden for plasma wars..t-1000000 for skynet defense..bla bla bla.. keke..but need to understand the concept of alternate future. Different model for different purpose after different war. Anyhow, i think Marcus similiar to the I-950.. just that he have brain and heart.

Listen to your heart. Go watch it !

This one i just explain with this emoticon.. ->

At least get your thoughts straigt into the movie when u watch it even you havent watch any Terminator series before..(better do some homework before movie watching) They did explain what model whichseries.

Hey...story was OK only...but for 11 bucks.....I'll pay the ticket price just to see Arnie reading a phone book...even if CGI...haha..Arnie fanz.

Its worth it....there are many lamer stories that are worth 11bucks.

So go watch it....

Yes and no. I agree the Terminator didnt really need to reinvent its general concepts and ideas but it still had to because of Arnie. Even some fans are saying a Terminator movie without Arnie isnt a T movie at all. People will always associate Arnie with Terminator, to a lot of people he is still the Terminator. Just like Bruce Willis is John McCain and Harrison Ford is Indiana. The Terminator franchise needed to reinvent itself as It needed a new action hero, or at least new direction that could revitalize itself from being an Arnie flick.

Agreed.

No "hasta la vista baby"
No "I'll be back"
No "Get down!"
No thumb sign

is not a terminator movie at all.But I still take it as a new Terminator movie.Heck Superman without Christopher Reeve like Superman Return can also survive be it Tom Welling or Brandon Rough as Superman.

FnF without Brian O'Connor?

haha today i go watch it. ok geh the movies or shud i watch angles or demons or nite at the museum 2 ?

If you want to watch terminator just to see Arnie, better don't.

wow.. a lot of comments from both sides of the fence.
good movie for the action scenes

if u havent watch it, go catch in cinema. then make a decision and comment here heheh

ya, go watch it and judge by your own. different ppl will have different taste.

advice that i can give u is don't expect anything. this is a good movie.

Arnie rulez in the past three movies.
Don't have expectation that it will be like the previous three Terminator movies, keep an open mind and watch it.
This movie continues with the story of John Conner.

watch it....nice movie....but got little bit confuse after watch then i go home check back previous Terminator story then i know why Kyle Reece is john Corner father...

haha..

too much of violence.
terminator 3 was more futuristic and better

found something interesting, the scar that John Connor got on T:Salvation, is the same scar pattern that show's in T2 starting, where it show the grown up John

in t3 as well, scars because hes supposed to be badass.

Watched it last night. I know I'm going to echo many other reviewers by saying that this movie that too little John Connor and too much Marcus Wright. And even then, they never really developed the Marcus character very well.

The cinematography, I felt, was rather poor and lackluster. There are pretty wide-panning horizon shots, but the movie tries too hard to tell two stories at once at any given time, cutting in and out of either so poorly. Guy sees jacket, camera cuts to some kid in a foggy room, cuts back to guy who is now wearing the jacket in a completely different place...

Actions scenes were... alright. Sorry, fire explosions and whatnot are just too commonplace nowadays. The only interesting bits are from the Motorterminators and the awesome humming sounds of the larger Terminators (with THX... oohyeah.....).

Is it worth watching?
If you like action movies in general, yes.
If you're a Terminator series fan expecting to learn more about the canon, no.


Nitpicky bits ensue:



Interesting observation:

lol in 2018, skynet was still, a baby i might call it a baby. only a baby in an age of 0 who had the capabilities of walking (did you get what im talking about)
T3's full of jokes. salvation's terminator was more realistic .

but i have to agree with the lack of character development and story of this film. and also, the edit of this film, it's horrible. watch the film if you don't know what i mean.

I gotta agree. The premise has so many opportunites to expand and be more meaningful. Like the 2nd chance theme someone mentioned. At least then, I would've found the dumbness of the storyline much more acceptable. But they didn't. Oh well. I just laid back and enjoyed the slam boom bang instead.
