    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Old recordings of Sarah Connor are played in the film, with lines nearly word-for-word from Terminator (1984). Linda Hamilton voiced the lines herself in an uncredited role.
    • Goofs
      In the first Terminator (1984), Kyle Reese explains to Sarah that he was born in the camps and bred as a soldier of the resistance. In Salvation, we can clearly see that he was just an ordinary civilian survivor of the war and did not become an actual resistance soldier until he was a young man. This is not necessarily a goof. He could have been exaggerating to impress her in the first movie. Alternately, the time travels of the sequels could have changed the events of his early life.
    • Quotes

      John Connor: The devil's hands have been busy. What is it?

      Kate Connor: It's real flesh and blood, though it seems to heal itself quickly. The heart is human and very powerful. The brain, too, but with a chip interface.

      Marcus Wright: What have you done to me?

      Kate Connor: It has a hybrid nervous system. One human cortex, one machine.

      Marcus Wright: Blair, what have they done?

      John Connor: Who built you?

      Marcus Wright: My name is Marcus Wright.

      John Connor: You think you're human?

      Marcus Wright: I am human.

    • Alternate versions
      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.

    7/10
    Fair action movie
    Once you manage to settle back in the series timeline, the movie is actually a fair dystopian action entertainment. Bale offers a strange grunting Connor, but it actually works in the end.
