Before even watching this, you won't change my mind this is the best of the sequels after T2. Creatively and story wise. And it was the only film that had the balls to try something we hadn't seen before.
Indeed. Of course topping T1 and T2 is a tall order uphill both ways to begin with. But Salvation is solid and I concur, the better of the sequels by far.
I loved Salvation, I think it was the best sequel after terminator 2. At least they tried to bring us a future war! They made it about John Connor instead of Arnold Terminator.
I think it's gets the hate because it was based of a younger looking Arnold. If the terminator looked rinkly and old it would look better and people would of been happier because it would of looked like the current day Arnold Schwarzenegger. Quite weird and intimidating when you think about it a Terminator that looks old.
This movie is really good. I loved it when I first seen it and I really hoped it would be followed up. We finally got the Future War! It's a shame it didn't do well enough because it kicks ass and the story was a fresh take avoiding time travel and giving us a heroic respectable John Connor. The hero we only heard stories of from Reese and the iconic flashbacks of 1 and 2. Salvation is much better than anything we got after. ❤
Although this terminator film wasn't that good, it, at least attempted to do something different and go a different direction than all of the previous films. It had so much potential, but it stumbled at the finishing line 😮
I feel like they had so much story built up that if they could put all the material they had into 1 movie then it would’ve been the best terminator movie in the series. I feel like it comes down to budget issues and getting the money to pull it off
A boob scene and a stabbing really didn’t impact the movie rating. I think 1 and 2 would potentially be PG-13 if released in 2024 if they cut down on any F-bombs to one.
Those who try and milk the cow... in hindsight, pot calling kettle.. I truly enjoy salvation. Sure there are some issues, but the cast went hard and it's beautifully shot. The atmosphere of hopelessness jumps out of about 90% of the movie.
As a life long terminator fan, I genuinely enjoyed this film. Maybe it was because I was playing a lot of fallout new Vegas at the time or maybe it was because we finally got a film in the future war and it wasn't just another re tread of the first film but I stand by it. I love this movie. Just wish terry Cruise played more than a corpse Edit: I wish this had a trilogy.
Really enjoyed this one. And I wish they had finished this trilogy, instead of rebooting again, with Genisys... T3, Genisys and Dark Fate is pure trash, compared to Salvation. And a prime example, that including Arnold, doesn't automatically make a Terminator movie good.
T3 is so much better than dark fate and genesys, while i like it i can understand why people dont but its not fair to lump it in with those horrendous films
I always liked Salvation and felt like I was always on an island when I said I dug the hell out of it. I wanted to see more and see the future war progress to the points we saw previously. I’m glad it’s finally getting the love it always deserved
Salvation had the guts to actually take the audience into the bleak future post-apocalypse and show us the war that humanity was fighting against the machines. For that, it wins praise for me. I also appreciated the practical effects work that went into the film. The T-600 was definitely a standout. And it was nice to see the T-1s form Terminator 3 back!
Underrated and underappreciated...so many good concepts (the tower shot with the machine looking people looking down & Skynet being aware of John Connors destiny etc)
The first 4 films follow a linear plot line and do follow on with each other. Gensys started off quite well till they managed to build a time machine in a sewer and suddenly it descends into techno babble. T3 has the best ending as well.
Loved the gritty aspect. The cast was really good. The script was decent...I felt the gigantic machines at the end were a little much and Arnold's CGI terminator to this day still looks goofy...I felt the movie got a bit messy in the 3rd act, but as a whole, I enjoyed this movie waaaay more than Rise and the following 2 films. It may be the last decent entry we ever see.
The Director's Cut is even better. This, T2: Battle Across Time and Terminator Resistance are the best follow-ups to Terminator 2. Anton Yelchin also appeared in JJ Abrams' Star Trek. The T600 that attacks Kyle, Star and Marcus and the T800 endoskeleton that fights John and Marcus were both portrayed via motion capture by 6'7 stunt performer Brian Steele
Everyone seems to forget the trailer gave away the third act twist of the main character being a robot. That kills the tension when you are seeing it in the theater.
This is a dark, futuristic action movie heart with great production value and acting. You got Michael freaking IRONSIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think they tried to cram tooòoooo much into this movie. The end fight with the T800 is bad just bad. It kind of kills the movie because the story does beg for more hand to hand terminator action. You want to see John Connor do something that maybe echos what Sarah goes through in the first film, but instead you get Stay Puffed Arnold Man and it's just so unbelievable and not convincing. As bad as Genysis is, there are a few interesting ideas in it, which retooled, still hold promise. But it requires skilled writing.
I liked salvation from the first time I saw it. Getting to see judgement day at the end of part 3 and then seeing life post judgement day in salvation was awesome and didn't feel over the top.
Same thing that happened to Solo: something that should’ve been a concise standalone that just covers the story points we’d want to see that some studio executives thought could be stretched out to a whole series instead
Aside from the original 2 films, this is by far my favorite of the series. Ever since i heard Nine Inch Nail's "The Day the World Went Away" for the trailer i was hooked.
Yelchin died in the most crazy way. He forgot to put his SUV in park when he got out to open his gate and the car crushed him. His friends found him after he failed to show up and went to look for him.
the main problems with Salvation are the PG-13 rating, Bale's Batman voice and the movie being set in the T3 timeline, which just forced Skynet back into existence after T2's hopeful ending. TSCC and Dark Fate are still my preferred T2 sequels
When it comes to the Terminator films, I have the first, T2 and Salvation on my shelves. If I come across the other titles as a (really) cheap bundle, the completist squirrel that I am will have no choice but to grab them but, I'm more than happy to keep it at these 3. I do try to only have films on my shelves that I intend to watch again.
I liked salvation and nothings changing my mind the fact it’s set during the war we only had heard of for three films made it exciting. All they did after Salvation was try and literally retread the first two movies and destroyed itself
Salvation was a great way to continue the terminator franchise from past to future war with a 3 part series that should finish the whole terminator story and bring it full circle. My only problem was that the 1st movie in the salvation trilogy was kinda slow and didn’t bring a lot. but from what I’ve heard the next 2 movies were going to be big and not hold back. Its sad seeing something get hated on that had so much potential going forward, it just deserved the chance that it never got
For me, best of the sequels. T1 & T2 was awesome. Salvation wasn’t another Terminator film - where the terminator goes back in time to change the past.
Salvation is a great film, but hearing that there was a darker version that was thrown aside for a goddamn PG-13 rating really makes me want a directors cut of this film.
This movie's rep has improved a little since release and it's easy to see why in the wake of Genisys (sp?) and Dark Fate. Also they shouldn't have spoiled that Marcus was a terminator in the trailers.
The future war I felt was the direction that they should have followed instead of remaking the first film over and over again, which is what all the sequels have done. The problem with Salvation is that the film doesn't match the future shown in the other films. It wasn't the dark horror scape that was shown in the past. It looked and felt more like it wanted to be a Transformers film than a Terminator one.
I was hoping this was only the beginning. By the 3rd movie in the trilogy we would be at the future shown in the first two movies. Now we'll never know.
I felt that Terminator Salvation would've been better had it removed the Marcus Wright character and focus squarely on the "Father and Son" relationship between John Connor and Kyle Reese. And end the movie where John sends Kyle Reese back to 1984, which would bring the franchise full circle. I know Genisys tried this but it was terrible execution.
I think Bale was a terrible choice for adult John Connor, however Anton was perfect as young Reese. RIP, I keep forgetting how young he was when he passed. So sad. Overall, it's definitely a decent movie. T2 is still the best though. I will commend them for building their own sets.
I fully believe that you can edit salvation, genysis and dark fate into a zombie movie that would be pretty good. Much like Transformers 1, 2 & 3. There's one good movie in there somewhere lol
Oh its certainly under-rated These films more or less are in the correct order as far as which are better. 1 and 2 crushed and 3 has a more by the numbers Terminator style story, so it feels more connected to the others and Arnold is IN IT, so that makes it better too. Plus the action and fx are amazing. Salvation, as a 4th entry, certainly can still hold that spot. I don't think he's coming back anymore😂😂😂😂😂 But. I'm into Season 2 of WestWorld. So I have learned you never know😂😂😂😂
Salvation is the best of the efforts and would have been a fantastic move to take the "No Fate" concept to a better written (at least from my point of view) next part of the Saga, with the evolution of the weapons and overall leadership of the Resistance, culminating in Yelchin (with some makeup and vfx work to make him look older and more like Michael Biehn) and Connor sending off Reese similarly to the beginning of Terminator Genisys, without the nonsense bullshit with Dr.Skynet,
This movie was so good, had an amazing setting and action scenes and the most creative but grounded plot aside from T2. Really sucks that they abandoned it for the crap they continue to put out.
I remember reading about a leaked script or treatment, though I can't verify if it was real. It involved a third act twist called "Project ANGEL," in which it's revealed that Skynet and its machines were trying to "save" humanity in the aftermath of Judgment Day by rounding humans up and keeping them in cozy resort-like camps with loads of amenities and creature comforts. It seemed that the script was trying to use this twist to question what "salvation" actually means. Is it living in safety and comfort, but in captivity? Or is it being liberated into a harsh wasteland where survival is unlikely? It also posits that we got the machines' intentions wrong, or they at least they didn't start out intent on the complete annihilation of the human species. Ultimately, it felt too "Matrix."
Honestly wasn't that bad. I didn't hate it. Not that the bar is high, but not counting T1 and T2, which are a class of their own, Salvation is IMO the third best Terminator movie.
In the theater, I didn't care for it. T3 was able to keep the action fun, like it is in T2. You want to watch the scenes over and over, even though you've seen it 1000 times😂 But Salvation is different. Some different can be good. More recently I watched the director cut and I do think it makes the movie better but the mail issues remain including if he's already found Reese at the end, what would 2 more movies be about????
I actually prefer Salvation over Terminator 3 or any of the movies that came after Salvation. They are just basically doing the same story over and over, with another twist. Salvation is actually different.
I actually don't mind this movie. I really wish they hadn't put the mid story twist that he was actually a Terminator in the damn trailer. However if given the ability I would wipe away all the sequels after Terminator 2 again and again until they got it right
Before even watching this, you won't change my mind this is the best of the sequels after T2. Creatively and story wise. And it was the only film that had the balls to try something we hadn't seen before.
Number 3 for me as well. Still the only one that doesn’t rehash the basic plots of the first two.
T1 and T2 both tried things we hadn't seen before.
Couldn't agree more. Better than T3. Genysis and Dark Fate are absolute garbage
I completely agree with you brother
Indeed.
Of course topping T1 and T2 is a tall order uphill both ways to begin with.
But Salvation is solid and I concur, the better of the sequels by far.
I loved Salvation, I think it was the best sequel after terminator 2. At least they tried to bring us a future war! They made it about John Connor instead of Arnold Terminator.
Its a crime we never actually got a sequel
Salvation was the right path the franchise needed
Not remake again T1 and T2
100%
100%
I still don't understand the hate with the CGI Arnold T800. I think it still holds up today, especially for 2009 tech.
I think it's gets the hate because it was based of a younger looking Arnold. If the terminator looked rinkly and old it would look better and people would of been happier because it would of looked like the current day Arnold Schwarzenegger. Quite weird and intimidating when you think about it a Terminator that looks old.
This movie is really good. I loved it when I first seen it and I really hoped it would be followed up. We finally got the Future War! It's a shame it didn't do well enough because it kicks ass and the story was a fresh take avoiding time travel and giving us a heroic respectable John Connor. The hero we only heard stories of from Reese and the iconic flashbacks of 1 and 2. Salvation is much better than anything we got after. ❤

Anton Yelchin was awesome as a young Kyle Reese.
@@wstine79 Yes he was RIP gone way to soon
yeah he was! it was eerie how much of Kyle Reese he got down, I am sad that we lost him ;w; he was good in everything I have seen him play
May he R.I.P
@@wstine79 he was awesome in everything.
Love this movie wished the ones after continued off if it instead of the trash we got . This was the last good terminator movie
Terminator Salvation had a good idea it just wasn't put together very well
@@jamesmorant1406 same 👍
Solid movie 🎥
@joeylodes It's tough to follow the first two movies they we're so good
I feel like they had so much story built up that if they could put all the material they had into 1 movie then it would’ve been the best terminator movie in the series. I feel like it comes down to budget issues and getting the money to pull it off
I feel like I'm one of the few that likes this movie.
I liked it, but I found the terminator but still human but also sorta a teminator character to be kinda lame.
Making it pg13 was a mistake. Even if they released an unrated home version. Movie was mostly bland and boring.
It was far less boring than T3 and Stahls whiny bitch version of Connor.
A boob scene and a stabbing really didn’t impact the movie rating. I think 1 and 2 would potentially be PG-13 if released in 2024 if they cut down on any F-bombs to one.
Salvation was way better than the two turds that came after.
Dark Fate isn’t bad. Haven’t rewatched it since seeing it in theaters but it’s solid. I wasn’t bored
I never seen Salvation or Genesis(I know it’s spelled weird)
truth
Exactly, they were abominations.
I enjoyed this one to be fair
I thinn salvation is the 3rd best. Action was great and at least ita not a repeat of t2.
👍👍 absolutely, a worthy addition to the franchise unlike last two excrements.
Terminator: Salvation is BEST Terminator movie after T1 & T2.
I agree 👍🏾 🤖☠️
The 1st 15 minutes of Genesis was pretty awesome, then it went off the rails after Reese goes through time
Absolutely true!
@pwnranger3496 that first battle scene was epic
1-5 Rulez✊🏻!
Give us Salvation.
Release the McG
"Dark" cut.
Those who try and milk the cow... in hindsight, pot calling kettle.. I truly enjoy salvation. Sure there are some issues, but the cast went hard and it's beautifully shot. The atmosphere of hopelessness jumps out of about 90% of the movie.

T3 is way better than salvation.
Terminator 3 and Terminator Salvation are both good in there own ways but yeah Genisys and Dark Fate are both Hot Garbage
T3 is so much better than dark fate and genesys, while i like it i can understand why people dont but its not fair to lump it in with those horrendous films
@@jayceneal5273 agreed. While I didn't like salvation.. I wouldn't say it was downright terrible...unlike fate or genisys
The last 20 minutes were the best part of the whole film.. the fight w the T-800.
Agreed.
You mean the part that's in literally every Terminator movie?
My favorite terminator film after 1 and 2
I always liked Salvation and felt like I was always on an island when I said I dug the hell out of it. I wanted to see more and see the future war progress to the points we saw previously. I’m glad it’s finally getting the love it always deserved
11:58 can't forgive you about taking this off, Big G

Underrated and underappreciated...so many good concepts (the tower shot with the machine looking people looking down & Skynet being aware of John Connors destiny etc)
Salvation rocked.
Great video! What’s the song at the end?
Believe by NEFFEX.
The first 4 films follow a linear plot line and do follow on with each other. Gensys started off quite well till they managed to build a time machine in a sewer and suddenly it descends into techno babble. T3 has the best ending as well.
The SETS WERE AWESOME! (I don't remember the script at all, but the VISUALS WERE AWESOME!
Loved the gritty aspect. The cast was really good. The script was decent...I felt the gigantic machines at the end were a little much and Arnold's CGI terminator to this day still looks goofy...I felt the movie got a bit messy in the 3rd act, but as a whole, I enjoyed this movie waaaay more than Rise and the following 2 films. It may be the last decent entry we ever see.
Only T1, T2, and Salvation exist in my movie collection/memory. RIP to Anton 🙏🏽
I was working in film when this movie was in New Mexico. The sets were awesome!
I actually really liked it. I mnea t plenty of room for improvement, but still very enjoyable
The Director's Cut is even better. This, T2: Battle Across Time and Terminator Resistance are the best follow-ups to Terminator 2. Anton Yelchin also appeared in JJ Abrams' Star Trek.

11:39 Lmao, nuclear self-burn, impressive to behold! 🤣💥💀
i love how marcus comes out of the crater of an explosion
Terminator Salvation is the only terminator in the franchise so different but very amazingly well made
This is a dark, futuristic action movie heart with great production value and acting. You got Michael freaking IRONSIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they tried to cram tooòoooo much into this movie.
The end fight with the T800 is bad just bad. It kind of kills the movie because the story does beg for more hand to hand terminator action.

As bad as Genysis is, there are a few interesting ideas in it, which retooled, still hold promise. But it requires skilled writing.
It was 10X better than Dark Fart
No argument here.
Can't disagree. The Last Jedi was better than Dark Turd, and I loath TLJ.
Eh I liked dark fate more
I liked salvation from the first time I saw it. Getting to see judgement day at the end of part 3 and then seeing life post judgement day in salvation was awesome and didn't feel over the top.
I remember watching the trailer for this one, loved it. The movie is for sure the best after T1 & T2!

🎥
You forgot to mention that the trailer for this movie reveaked a major plot twist.
Salvation was a great way to continue the terminator franchise from past to future war with a 3 part series that should finish the whole terminator story and bring it full circle. My only problem was that the 1st movie in the salvation trilogy was kinda slow and didn’t bring a lot. but from what I’ve heard the next 2 movies were going to be big and not hold back. Its sad seeing something get hated on that had so much potential going forward, it just deserved the chance that it never got
I used to dislike Terminator Salvation, but I have to be honest and say that everytime I watch it now, the movie is better than I remembered.
The one that had so much potential by showing what's happening in the future, kinda fell flat but still enjoyable.
Worthingtons role wasn't 'ironic' - he came onboard after Cameron's recommendation.
1. T2: Judgement Day
2. The Terminator
3. Salvation
Everything else.
much much better than the others that followed
For me, best of the sequels. T1 & T2 was awesome. Salvation wasn’t another Terminator film - where the terminator goes back in time to change the past.
Salvation is a great film, but hearing that there was a darker version that was thrown aside for a goddamn PG-13 rating really makes me want a directors cut of this film.
This movie's rep has improved a little since release and it's easy to see why in the wake of Genisys (sp?) and Dark Fate.
Also they shouldn't have spoiled that Marcus was a terminator in the trailers.
I don’t understand the hate this film gets. It’s fantastic.
Terminator IV: Salvation Rulez✊🏻!
Another thing that happened the year Salvation came out was the cancellation of The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
That still hurts me 15 years later.
It was a movie ahead of its time and a shame it didn’t get another movie.
They were going to do 3??? Man. They'd be PAYIN BATMAN!! 😂😂😂
I really wish we would’ve gotten that trilogy.
Stan's the man ❤
The future war I felt was the direction that they should have followed instead of remaking the first film over and over again, which is what all the sequels have done. The problem with Salvation is that the film doesn't match the future shown in the other films. It wasn't the dark horror scape that was shown in the past. It looked and felt more like it wanted to be a Transformers film than a Terminator one.
I was hoping this was only the beginning. By the 3rd movie in the trilogy we would be at the future shown in the first two movies. Now we'll never know.
I’ve been championing Salvation since it came out. Audiences are so damn fickle. As Cinderella once said, “Don’t know what you got till it’s gone.” 😂
I felt that Terminator Salvation would've been better had it removed the Marcus Wright character and focus squarely on the "Father and Son" relationship between John Connor and Kyle Reese. And end the movie where John sends Kyle Reese back to 1984, which would bring the franchise full circle.
I know Genisys tried this but it was terrible execution.
I think Bale was a terrible choice for adult John Connor, however Anton was perfect as young Reese. RIP, I keep forgetting how young he was when he passed. So sad. Overall, it's definitely a decent movie. T2 is still the best though. I will commend them for building their own sets.
Terminator Salvation is a good film though I have to wonder if they will ever be gutsy enough to show that original ending!
I fully believe that you can edit salvation, genysis and dark fate into a zombie movie that would be pretty good. Much like Transformers 1, 2 & 3. There's one good movie in there somewhere lol
Oh its certainly under-rated
These films more or less are in the correct order as far as which are better. 1 and 2 crushed and 3 has a more by the numbers Terminator style story, so it feels more connected to the others and Arnold is IN IT, so that makes it better too. Plus the action and fx are amazing.
Salvation, as a 4th entry, certainly can still hold that spot. I don't think he's coming back anymore😂😂😂😂😂
But. I'm into Season 2 of WestWorld. So I have learned you never know😂😂😂😂
Love this movie. Not sure why anyone dislikes it.
I actually hated having Bale as John, i couldn't see Ed Furlong becoming Bale. 🤷♂️
This looked nothing like the future scenes from T1 or T2 which was a big problem for me. It didn’t feel like a Terminator movie 🍿
I enjoyed terminator salvation
I can't watch this video without being reminded of Christian Bale's rant. "You punch your mother with that mouth?"
I love this one.❤
Greatest action scenes!
I feel it is the best non- Cameron directed Terminator movie and it's a shame it didn't get at least one sequel
I actually really like Salvation. It’s not perfect, but WAY better than what came afterwards.
I really like Salvation. I was ready for something different.
Its Time... release the "darker cut" to see if it's better than the other (after T2) sequels
Salvation is the best of the efforts and would have been a fantastic move to take the "No Fate" concept to a better written (at least from my point of view) next part of the Saga, with the evolution of the weapons and overall leadership of the Resistance, culminating in Yelchin (with some makeup and vfx work to make him look older and more like Michael Biehn) and Connor sending off Reese similarly to the beginning of Terminator Genisys, without the nonsense bullshit with Dr.Skynet,
I love this movie!! Hell, I love all the Terminator movies!!
This movie was so good, had an amazing setting and action scenes and the most creative but grounded plot aside from T2. Really sucks that they abandoned it for the crap they continue to put out.
9:00 Bale spoke truth in his madness
In any long hard tiering jobs you will get in trouble and maybe yelled at.
1.T1 & T2
2.T2 & T1
3.Salvation
4.Then the rest
The Ducati motorcycle hunters were cool.
You threw John Carter in there... Was a great movie.
I remember reading about a leaked script or treatment, though I can't verify if it was real. It involved a third act twist called "Project ANGEL," in which it's revealed that Skynet and its machines were trying to "save" humanity in the aftermath of Judgment Day by rounding humans up and keeping them in cozy resort-like camps with loads of amenities and creature comforts. It seemed that the script was trying to use this twist to question what "salvation" actually means. Is it living in safety and comfort, but in captivity? Or is it being liberated into a harsh wasteland where survival is unlikely? It also posits that we got the machines' intentions wrong, or they at least they didn't start out intent on the complete annihilation of the human species. Ultimately, it felt too "Matrix."
Topless shots of Moon Bloodgood definitely would’ve helped
Salvation is the Rogue One of the Terminator franchise.
Honestly wasn't that bad. I didn't hate it.
Not that the bar is high, but not counting T1 and T2, which are a class of their own, Salvation is IMO the third best Terminator movie.
In the theater, I didn't care for it. T3 was able to keep the action fun, like it is in T2.

I actually prefer Salvation over Terminator 3 or any of the movies that came after Salvation. They are just basically doing the same story over and over, with another twist. Salvation is actually different.
I think the video game Terminator Resistance is the best sequel to Terminator 2.
I actually don't mind this movie. I really wish they hadn't put the mid story twist that he was actually a Terminator in the damn trailer.
However if given the ability I would wipe away all the sequels after Terminator 2 again and again until they got it right
I really liked this movie when I saw it in theaters.
