Released on Blu-Ray as an R-rated director's cut with about three minutes of extra footage:
When John Connor and company infiltrate the underground base, a sentry robot pops up and is quickly dispatched. This scene was present in the teaser trailer.
Extra dialogue between Connor and Ashdown on the submarine. Ashdown points a gun at Connor's head and says he doesn't believe in prophecy.
Blair bathes in the rain for a moment then sees Marcus looking at her. She covers herself and Marcus turns away.
The scene with the two marauders is more violent. Marcus is actually showing stabbing one of them in the shoulder with a screwdriver, the fistfight with the second guy is longer, and a bloody impact is seen when Blair shoots one of the marauders in the leg.
Longer dialogue from Blair during the campfire scene with Marcus.
The sequence of the man being shot trying to scale the fence at the Skynet processing center is slightly longer.
John Connor's speech to the remaining resistance forces is extended.
The fight between the T-800 and Marcus is a few seconds longer.
Marcus trying to revive John Connor is slightly longer.
First of all, ignore the negative reviews for this movie because if an action movie receives negative reviews by critics its almost sure to be good. This is a very worthy and excellent addition to the Terminator series. Christian Bale is perfect for the role of John Connor , Sam Worthington does a hell of a good job as Marcus Wright and Anton Yelchin is great as Kyle Reese. The action in this movie is mind blowing and will keep viewers entertained as this movie is full of them. The cast is great , the action is awesome and the story rocks .What else do you need? This is one of the better summer blockbusters of 2009 and director McG's best film yet.
