Unable to determine whether Marcus was sent from the future or rescued from the past, Conno begins to wonder whether there is still any hope left for the human race as the robots grow more powerful and aggressive than ever before. It appears that Skynet is preparing a devastating final attack designed to eliminate the human resistance once and for all, leaving Connor and Marcus with no choice but to strike back at the cybernetic heart of Skynet's operations.

Very Good

I am a big fan of the Terminator movies and honestly the second and third were nowhere near as good as the first one. This one, in my opinion was very close to being better than the first one (it isn't but it was close). It is extremely action pack. It it is pretty much not stop action from the start of the movie to the end. It also has a good storyline and it doesn't really have that much language in it. This movie is by far one of the best movies made this year. I hope that the next Terminator movie will be as good as this one is.

I would rate all the movies in this order...
#1-1st
#2-3rd
#3-4th
#4-2nd

The year is 2018. Judgment Day has come and gone, leveling modern civilization. An army of Terminators roams the post-apocalyptic landscape, killing or collecting humans where they hide in the desolate cities and deserts. But small groups of survivors have organized into a Resistance, hiding in underground bunkers and striking when they can against an enemy force that vastly outnumbers them. Controlling the Terminators is the artificial intelligence network Skynet, which became self-aware 14 years earlier and, in the blink of an eye, turned on its creators, unleashing nuclear annihilation on an unsuspecting world. Only one man saw Judgment Day coming. One man, whose destiny has always been intertwined with the fate of human existence: John Connor(Christian Bale). Now the world is on the brink of the future that Connor has been warned about all his life. But something totally new has shaken his belief that humanity stands a chance of winning this war: the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger from the past whose last memory is of being on Death Row before awakening in this strange, new world. Connor must decide whether Marcus can be trusted, but as Skynet adapts new strategies to end the Resistance forever, Connor and Marcus must find common ground to take a stand against the onslaught to infiltrate Skynet and meet the enemy head-on.

A well directed continuation of an epic storyline

How do you make a terminator movie without the governator? Go see McG's continuation of the terminator series. First off, his direction and scope of this movie I have to say impressed me. McG's comments and movie experience with this blu ray set with him explaining how and why he was doing all in one camera angles to mixing excitement and great effects for the fans of the series of films will love it, just like I did. I even like the fact that they used stuff from the other films like sayings, voices and characters. The main thing I enjoyed watching was the new stuff in this film such as the worm like terminators, moto terminators and finally seeing the T600's that kyle reese mentions in the 1st terminator movie. Thirdly the acting and such was not all that terrible, Bale and Worthington are great tough guy's trying to one up one another in this but it's not bothersome. Finally, about the disc set here there is very little difference between the directors cut and the theatrical. The directors cut has a small nudity scene with Moon, and a few more spots of play with other actors but that's it. I just wish McG had the same behind the scenes movie experience he had in the theatrical version because it's not on the directors cut. All in all a great action movie with tons of new and interesting features that a fan of this series will appreciate. I decided to go with a local co. here in FL to get the awesome extra stuff along with the movie at a great price and I'm glad I can help out a local business here in FL. Great stuff check them out!
