How Does It Look And Sound?
The Video: This blu ray is presented in Video codec:
VC-1, Video resolution: 1080p
Aspect ratio: 2.40:1 the picture is amazing. Detail and colors are very sharp
excellent levels of black. One of the best looking blu rays I've seen in a
while.
The Sound: This disc is recorded in 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio. This movie is very loud between Danny Elfman's musical score and the sound effects from the battle scenes. Wow is all I can say. The front and rear speakers are very active. Good clear vocals. Major use of the sub woofer. When you watch this movie. Get ready for the walls to shake and the floors to vibrate.

Three-disc set
Digital copy
BD-Live
Terminator Salvation debuts on Blu-ray as a three-disc
set; disc one houses the theatrical edition of the film and special features,
disc two contains the extended director's cut and BD-Live functionality, and
disc three offers a digital copy of the film. The first supplement is "Maximum
Movie Mode," a feature that contains the director standing in front of a pair of
screens that show on the left the film and on the right behind-the-scenes
elements. The segments cover a broad range of information over the production,
looking at the creation of special effects via animatics, interviews with cast
members, behind-the-scenes footage from the set, and more. Some of the material
is presented in a standard picture-in-picture secondary window over the bottom
right-hand corner of the screen. Regardless of how it's presented, the
interactive and visually-based commentary proves vastly superior to standard
audio-only tracks; the director interacts with the film, pausing it to point out
various interesting tidbits, further reinforce points, and expand on the film's
dramatic and thematic elements. It's a fantastic feature and is implemented to
perfection. Also included is a pop-up timeline that places events in and around
the film from a range between 1975 and 2032, interactive still galleries,
storyboard comparisons, and more.
Focus Points is an additional collection of 1080p behind-the-scenes
segments that are available to view either within "Maximum Movie Mode" or
individually via the main menu. Pieces include Digital Destruction
(2:30), Enlisting the Air Force (2:48), Molten Metal and the Science
of Simulation (2:09), Building the Gas Station (2:52), Creating
the VLA Attack (2:46), Exploding Serena's Lab in Miniature (2:38),
Hydrobots (2:19), An Icon Returns (3:01), Terminator Factory
(2:17), Stan Winston Workshop (3:03), and Napalm Blast (2:46).
Next up is a piece entitled Reforging the Future (1080p, 19:01) that
looks at how the filmmakers both built on Terminator lore and created a
film with its own identity. The piece features cast and crew speaking on the
film's look or "retro-future," the film's themes and tone, shooting locations,
prop and set design, wardrobe, the design and implementation of the various
Terminators and machines seen in the film, and the use of both practical and
digital special effects. Finally, The Moto-Terminator (1080p, 8:33) takes
an in-depth look at the creation of one of the film's unique special effects and
action sequences. The included digital copy, as sampled on a second-generation
iPod Touch, features picture quality that stays true to the source, retaining a
gritty, lifeless tone with decent detail and only moderate banding and blocking.
The soundtrack also retains its thunderous volume and while clarity and detail
are lacking there's still a good sense of space and directionality across the
two-channel headphone presentation with a fair sense of power and heft to the
action scenes. (Story Information taken from

Movie Quotes From Terminator Salvation
John Connor: I knew it. I knew it was coming. But this is not the future my mother warned me about. And in this future, I don't know if we can win this war. This is John Connor.
Kyle Reese: Come with me if you want to live.
John Connor: Win or lose, this war ends tonight!
John Connor: [to Marcus] You and me, we've been at war since before either of us even existed. You tried killing my mother, Sarah Connor. You killed my father, Kyle Reese. You will not kill me.
John Connor: Skynet has Kyle Reese.
General Ashdown: Then that is his fate.
John Connor: No, it's our fate. I have to save him. He is the key. The
key to the future, to the past. Without him, we lose everything.
General Ashdown: No, you stay the course!
John Connor: If we stay the course, we are dead! WE ARE ALL DEAD!
General Ashdown: As of this moment, soldier, you are relieved of your
command. You are no longer a part of this Resistance.
[Ashdown switches off comm]
Barnes: I didn't catch that last statement.
Comms Officer: Neither did I.
Dr. Serena Kogan: Don't fight, Marcus. Remember what
you are.

[tears out hardware link from his cortex]

Dr. Serena Kogan: You will not be given a second chance. You cannot save
John Connor.
Marcus Wright: Watch me.
Kate Connor: What should I tell your men when they find
out you're gone?
John Connor: I'll be back.
