Terminator Salvation: The T4 Cut

Agent 9's audio work in this edit is great, replacing the soundtrack in parts of the movie with more classical Terminator-tunes, really heightens the enjoyment. I also liked the new colour for the movie.

Audio/Video-quality could have been better though, a bigger filesize (maybe even 1080p) and more bitrate for the audio-track (128kb/s is imho a bit too little for stereo, 320 kb/s would have been better).

Narrative wise, it all works and makes sense mostly, and the pacing is faster. But it felt like it was over just a bit too fast, maybe here and there a bit slower pacing would have helped. What I missed a bit was a bit more scenes for Marcus and Blair to help with their relation, so that it becomes more beliveable that she would help him escape.

I recommend this edit, especially because of the new soundtrack and colour, and if you like a fast pacing, you'll love this edit.

Pretty much exactly what ssj wrote.
Positive:
The intro credits were very well done.
Negative:
Some music changes were too obvious and distracted me from the movie experience.
The bitrate of the 720p version was not high enough in the darker scenes, which caused very visible artifacts.
Overall:
This was a good fanedit, the changes all improve on the original, but it does not make this a great or even good movie and this will have been (if there is not another even more daring fanedit) the last time I have willingly watched any of it.
Perhaps my expectations were too high on this one; the superhigh ratings from the others, who watched it, tempted me.

I waited a long time to see this Fanedit and i must say its not bad but it can be better. My main problem is that unlike many people i don't believe T4 is such a terrible movie (it is inferior to T1 and T2 but better than T3) but it lacked some good Brad Fiedel music. I was dissapointed that this edit make so little use of that, instead we have what i suppose is music from T3 (I dont even remember the music of that movie) and some of the original score of T4. Besides that i liked the color correction and that some of the editing. There are few things i dont believe should have been cut. One is the scene in the gas station, the other one is when Marcus fights some guys to help Blair, i dont know why that was cut, i believe without that it doesnt make much sense that Blair help Marcus. Sound sometimes have problems, some voices are too low, That it, beyond that its a decent editing.

hey everyone, steelio here with another review. back when salvation came out, i enjoyed it but didn't love it. it didn't feel like the T4 we deserved. this edit does a great job of making it feel like the T4 we could put alongside the previous films. gone are the washed out colors. the film looks beautiful. the music was great, especially with the terminator theme added in. i'd recommend this edit to everyone. if you didn't like the original, give this a chance. it's now my definitive version. it is T4.

Amazing Edit! The color correction alone is a reason to see this one. It looks like the James Cameron movies, with the blue nighttime gradient and greenish tints thorough the film. Kyle Reese storyline is altered, and the action is cut at a real nice pace. Overall, I highly recommend this one.
