This is a great movie. Despite what some people said about this film I decided to see and I was not at all disappointed. Christian Bale and Sam Worthington do a great job with the lead roles. There are some great effects in this movie as well. I would recommend this movie to anyone who liked any of the other Terminators.
What's great about it: Great action, Great effects

Sam Worthington was awesome. He made the flick. He's my new hottie. He fit like a glass slipper to this plot & genre. If I have to listen to Christian Bale hasp out another line, I think I'll puke. Okay maybe I missed it but how did John's dad become a teenager in the future? Shouldn't he been an old man in the future if it was now the present? Oh well, that's Hollywood.
What's great about it: Not your dad's Terminator movie

This review is of the Director's cut only. By now, you already know the story, this one takes place in 2018 in a post apocalyptic future where the machines are already wiping out the human race and John Conner begins to lead the resistance. (SPOILER ALERT) We also see the first "humanoid" terminators being developed by Skynet with a cool cameo by Arnold (until all his flesh is melted away). There are a few holes in the story like "how does a 100 foot tall machine sneak up on everybody in the middle of the desert in broad daylight?", but hey, who cares, just enjoy the action, it's a fun flick.
The Video: A 1080P/VC-1 encode in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio. A beautiful, sharp transfer with good black levels and plenty of detail in the darker scenes. Daylight scenes are a bit washed out and a little grainy but give you the feeling of being very natural since this takes place in a post apocalyptic future.
The Audio: DTS HD Master Audio 5.1. Wow! This is one awesome soundtrack. Crystal clear detail and localized dialogue and very, very loud. This one will rock your system and your house. You will believe you are there.
Conclusion: If you just love the Terminator films like I do, then you'll love this one too. If you're picky about your films then you may have a different opinion.
What's great about it: The video, audio and the Ducati's
What's not so great: A few holes in the story but who cares?

The movie was not the best movie in the world, but it was action packed and the Bluray disc makes the movie-viewing experience pretty stellar. The acting was cheesy in a few scenes, but overall it was alright. There was a lack of terminators in the movie. The main reason this Bluray was purchased was because it included a digital copy.
What's great about it: Digital copy, lots of action, pretty decent plot

I loved this movie. The blu-ray quality is out of this world. The sound, and i only have 2.1 surround but it's outstanding! This is the best Terminator movie ever made, very realistic no super heroes for the most part. Although I doubt they could of pulled off what they did in the end, the whole movie from start to finish was interesting and captivating. Thanks!
What's great about it: Quality is Superb!
What's not so great: More behind the scenes would of been nice

A quality sequel from a modestly successful franchise. The acting was good, the story -palpable, and the effects amazing. Christian Bale does it again. A much better performance than his earlier Batman release, Bale shares the lead with a new anti hero and the feel is something like a quality western where one is forced to consider the classic ideals of good and evil/ right and wrong.
What's great about it: the story line was linear and easy to follow this time.
