Best T4 version that you will ever see (4K version)
Remember this is a 13 year old film which was not shot on native 4K resolution. The 4K blu ray features a 2k image with upscaled 4K and it is absolutely best in terms of visual fidelity. There is some rework done here in therms of color coding and contrast which is definitely noticeable in the 4K UHD. Black levels are godly.Sound is also amazing with a dynamic yet bombastic mix articulately presented by DTS HD master. Details are realised much effortlessly in sound and its a very enjoyable home theatre experience.Video- 4.4/5Audio- 4.7/5

Nice product
Was a bit confused at first as the product mis-matches with the image displayed. Finally opened the package & satisfied. Played the movie in a 5.1. It delivers DTS 5.1 & 1080p picture as well. Language options are also given where one can select English & Hindi as well as some other options as well.

Der etwas andere Terminator-Film
Die ersten drei Terminator-Filme - von denen nur der erste und zweite, also die von James Cameron, richtig gut sind - sind alle nach dem mehr oder weniger gleichen Muster abgelaufen. Die KI Skynet übernimmt die weltweite Kontrolle über das Militär, betrachtet die Menschheit als Feind und schickt einen Atomraketen-Hagel los. Außerdem verfügt Skynet über alle möglichen Kriegsroboter, die von der KI immer weiterentwickelt und auch produziert werden. Die Roboter kommen gegen die überlebenden Menschen zum Einsatz, um sie endgültig zu vernichten. Der Kampf scheint aussichtslos, doch ein Mann könnte die Menschheit noch zum Sieg führen: John Connor. Das weiß Skynet und schickt darum als Menschen getarnte Killermaschinen, die Terminatoren, rückwärts durch die Zeit, um John Connor, dessen Mutter oder wen sonst noch alles zu töten. Aber den Menschen fallen in der Zukunft schließlich selbst Terminatoren in die Hände, diese werden umprogrammiert, um John Connor zu schützen, und ebenfalls durch die Zeit zurückgeschickt.Das war jetzt eine ganz schön lange Erklärung für das, worum es in Terminator allgemein so geht, aber wer weiß? Vielleicht gibt es tatsächlich jemanden, der die Geschichte noch nicht kennt. Jedenfalls setzten die Macher von Terminator: Die Erlösung (Originaltitel: Terminator Salvation) aus dem Jahr 2009 auf ein anderes Prinzip. Sie ließen die komplette Handlung in der Zukunft spielen, in der der Kampf Menschen gegen Maschinen tobt. John Connor (Christian Bale) ist noch nicht Anführer des Widerstands, hat dort jedoch schon zum Teil ein hohes Ansehen. Ein junger Mann namens Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) wird von den Maschinen gefangen genommen und zur Skynet-Zentrale gebracht. Connor, dem seine Mutter früher erzählt hat, wie wichtig er für die Menschheit sein würde und dass Kyle Reese dabei eine entscheidende Rolle spiele, ist klar, dass er den Gefangenen retten muss. Als Zuschauer weiß man natürlich, dass Kyle Reese der Vater von John Connor ist und im ersten Terminator-Teil der menschliche Zeitreisende war. Jedenfalls ist Genreal Ashdown (Michael Ironside), oberster Kommandant des Winderstands, der Ansicht, dass man Skynet in Grund und Boden Bomben sollte. Das würde allerdings auch Kyle Reese und die anderen Gefangenen töten. Die Zeit tickt also für John Connor - und dann ist da noch Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), der auf irgendeine Weise aus der Vergangenheit gekommen sein zu scheint und selbst nicht genau weiß, wie das passiert ist. Aber auch er soll noch eine entscheidende Rolle spielen...Das mit dem Setting von Terminator: Die Erlösung war nach den drei Vorgängern ein regelrecht mutiger Schritt - ebenso der, dass Arnold Schwarzenegger nicht zum Cast gehört (er taucht in digitalisierter Form kurz auf, aber das zählt eher nur so halb). Ein Flop wurde der Film zwar nicht, doch blieb das Einspielergebnis hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Wahrscheinlich kehrte man bei den Nachfolgern deshalb wieder zur bewährten Formel zurück - qualitativ konnten die neusten Terminator-Filme aber nicht mal ansatzweise an die ersten beiden Teile rankommen. Die Erlösung, Teil Nummer vier der Reihe, geht als durchaus passabel durch. Die Story ist trotz des neuen Ansatzes nicht gerade ausgefeilt, dafür bekommt man grundsolide Sci-Fi-Action geboten. Manchmal wird's allerdings ein bisschen albern, zum Beispiel dann, wenn die Motorrad-Terminatoren auftauchen. Man darf wohl bezeifeln, dass eine hoch entwickelte KI so etwas tatsächlich konstruieren würde. Wie auch immer: Terminator: Die Erlösung kann man mal gesehen haben, zu viel erwarten sollte man jedoch nicht. Immerhin ist dieser Teil besser als Terminator: Genisys aus dem Jahr 2015, was aber keine Kunst ist, denn der Film ist völlige Grütze. Kurz zur Blu-ray: Das Bild geht in Ordnung, eine Schippe Extras gibt's auch. Passt also.

My favourite sequel after T2.
I enjoy this film and I've watched it many times. I don't know why it gets so much hate. I love Bale and Worthington's performances. I wish McG could have made the trilogy has planned. I hated Carry On Terminating... sorry, Rise Of The Machines. Terminator Genisys was just ok but I wouldn't watch it again and Dark Fate was just an amalgamation of all the sequels. This film attempts to do something different. Showing us the future war etc. Not a bad idea with infiltration unit finding John Connor. Sure, it's not perfect and there's daft parts to it; eg. Nobody question Kyle Reese is way to young to be John Connor's father and the ridiculous open heart surgery in the field with any old heart but even The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day have flaws. Slightly disappointed that the liquid metal terminator wasn't portrayed but what I've read that was gonna be in one of the other two films planned after this with McG at the helm. I also read he had plans for Kyle Reese being sent back to 1984 at the end of the third instalment. That would've been great but no, what do we get because this film didn't break box office records? The same old same old. Over and over again. Never mind. Just have to keep watching this, my favourite of all of them; The Terminator and of course the brilliant T2.

You and me, we've been at war since before either of us existed.
Terminator Salvation (2009)Terminator Salvation is directed by McG and and written by John Brancato and Michael Ferris. It stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard and Common. Music is scored by Danny Elfman and cinematography by Shane Hurlbut.2018 and John Connor (Bale) is a key figure in the Resistance forces waging war against Skynet and their Terminator armies. But when Marcus Wright (Worthington) wanders into the equation it clouds the issues, with both men desperate to establish meaning and answers in the war......The weight of expectation was massive. Spread over a 25 year period and harvesting 3 films, the Terminator film fan has wanted to desperately view the post Judgement Day war between man and machine. Over to you McG; yep, he who directed Charlie's Angels! Box office wise it's a winner of some magnitude, garnering over $370 million worldwide (over $170 million profit), but critics and franchise fans, perhaps inevitably, were decidedly mixed on its worth to the Terminator universe. It's good for me, a fan also of the series, to come to the film some three years after it was released, where the hype or venom has evaporated and the film has finally found a base footing from which to be judged.Undeniably it is some way away from the first two Cameron films, lacking the lesser budget sci-fi grit of part one or the mind bending extravagance of part 2. Better than 3 for sure, but that film still has the best ending of all the Terminator movies. Terminator Salvation is a darn great action movie, in fact it's more a great action/war movie that has dashes of Terminator folklore sprinkled along the way. Gone is the pursuer/pursued structure of the previous films, in place now is a tough guys on a mission adventure story, fast paced and full to the brim of plot and barn-storming action set pieces. There's no easy cop out here either, the makers could quite easily have made one long battle movie between Bale's Beefcakes and Skynet's Super Soldiers, but instead they serve up different conflicts at different points of the apocalyptic compass. With many brilliant new additions to the Skynet's army adding spice to the Cyborg laden stew. This is not just an endoskeleton wasteland, it's a land of Hunter-Killer ships, hulking Harvesters, underwater Hydrobots and Terminator motorcycles. The sci-fi, in design and execution, is quite frankly adrenalin pumping.With the picture set as it is, post the other films in the series, it does have a huge waft of freshness on its side. Yes there's dutiful nods to the past, courtesy of one liners, music and a familiar face in the finale, these are welcome and needed by the fans in fact, but McG's movie stands tall on its own two feet. No lazy remake here, even if the staging of the final dust-up is a series copy. The writers have also imbued the story with darkness, it's as fun as it gets on a visceral level at times, but there's a bleakness, a sadness, constantly hovering in the dry air. It's also a neat trick having John Connor, the future saviour of mankind, not be this super-human guy loved by all, he carries emotional baggage, obviously, but to some of his superiors he is viewed as edgy, perhaps even a hindrance to the war effort? It's a nice thread and harks back to the young Connor's arrogant streak in T2.Cast performances have also proved to get mixed reviews, but now the dust has died down it appears that nobody is bad here. Bale and Worthington make for a nice muscular pairing without pushing the acting boat out, Bloodgood holds her own in kicking ass and dialogue exchanges and Yelchin, who I initially struggled to accept as someone who is going to blossom into the moody and magnificent Michael Biehn version, does a decent enough job of setting Rees up for his inevitable fate. Outside of these main performers, though, nobody gets much of a look in, which in the case of Bryce Dallas Howard's wife of John Connor is a shame. The writers have erred here, for surely she is a critical component of the John Connor character arc? Still, we do at least get a fun, but staple, cameo from Michael Ironside. Terminator Salvation's worst mistake, mind, is to not finish 10 minutes earlier than it did, where the build up and set up for potential sequels is dampened considerably by a mushy tack on sequence, a chance to keep things moody and ambivalent is wasted, seemingly for the popcorn munchers pleasure.It was never going to be an across the board winner, especially for Terminator's staunch fans. Only Cameron coming back could have maybe brought about the film everyone wanted? But this is still a ripper of an action movie, with enough brains and balls to standalone. Awesome Blu-ray too! 7.5/10
