It's the first (and last) Terminator spin-off film without Arnold. The result? It needed more Arnold. Nostalgia Critic takes a look at Terminator Salvation.

Next Terminator film will be a spinoff entitled "Being John Connor" which will, of course, be entirely original and of the highest quality.
Underwhelming film.
@The Jazz King or stargate SG1
You should read the comics of Terminator Salvation
If you pause @7:47 Pogo the clown is on the building's sign
Kudos for the spot on Star Fox joke.
You wanna know what would have been an interesting twist on the idea? Or should I say "another" interesting twist on the idea? What season 2 Finale of "Sarah Connor Chronicles" did. When John Connor jumped into the time machine and end up in the future, met his uncle Derek Reese (a character made for the show and Kyle's brother), introduced himself...only so that Derek and his men be like: "Yeah never heard of you"....boom End Season....only for the show to be cancelled.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
I remember this bowling alley I used to go to had an arcade machine of the game based on this movie. I have no clue what it’s like.
I lost it at Star Fox's incoming enemy 😂
10:01 Headly Lamar: “‘Head them off at the pass’? I hate that cliche” *shoots him in the foot*
Conner helped humanity at the start. But it wasn't his story. It was the android and reese's. They expanded his scenes cause they liked his performance. And one of the endings was the terminator killing them all. So I wouldn't put too much stock in the alternate ending that makes no sense. Just because the writing didn't do anything.
"What DJ is still playing music in the apocalypse?" *"HELLOOOOOOOOO CHILLLLLLLLDREEENN!!!! IT'S THREE DOG!!! AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"*
"It's all about the speeches" You've clearly played a Bard or a Paladin
Dude,They Got McG to Direct This Flick?do You Have Any Idea Just How Many Episodes of Supernatural he Directed?They All Rocked,he Rocks,I Fucking Love McG
Honestly I enjoyed Salvation far more than I did RotM. Seeing the story in the future rather than yet another time jump plot was refreshing in a way, and the practical fx along with the cgi at the time was beautiful. Plot holes and inconsistencies aside, this film had good moments. I rank Salvation much higher than T3.
To make Connor and Markus friends at the beginning would make a compelling conflict when it's revealed that Markus is a robot. Another thing they could have done was have the doctor from the 1st 3 films. He's mostly a coward and a companion with Kyle Reese (who suddenly not so crazy from the 1st film). He and Reese get captured by the machines. Connor comes to save them in a fight with a T-800. After some struggle, Reese is down for the count, Connor is about to be killed, until the doctor unexpectly saves them, and they barely escape.
most stupid thing is random terminator bikes and snakes...
LMFAO That Star Fox SNES reference was GOLD!
LOL @ Star Fox sounds
"The one everyone forgets" indeed. I was waiting for Critic to review this since the Terminator month started, but couldn't even remember its name.
the alternate ending was pretty much what happened in metal gear phantom pain with big boss and venom snake
@ZA C yep
Also the box art of metal gear was Kyle reese
@ZA C correctomundo
@Trey Owen no but i know the big boss you burn is actually venom snake pretending to be big boss
Have you ever payed the very first two Metal Gear Games for the MSX2?
Wait why does John Connor need a new heart we already established a guy that is mostly a machine and still has a functioning human heart. I'm pretty sure you could do the reverse of that and just give John an artificial organ. That facility is probably full of them.
I came for the Aliens references and I’m happy
6:07 I thought this was an edit!! PFFFT THAT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE FILM 💀
Me too Ive never watched salvation.
What tf is in that girls nose? It looks awful
Salvation was decent to pretty good
In my opinion... this is the best one after 2 because it’s not another time travel copy cat.
as for me salvation despite all it's numerous flaws is better, than rise of the machines, genisys or that latest crap
Did anyone else notice they used John gacy clown face as an advertisement in the movie. 7:47 what the hell are they selling with that lol
Gotta give this movie one thing: It made for a really fun arcade game.
I still think the a lot of the ideas in this movie were good and the film just suffered from a bad director.
Let’s face it. Even that his movie was forgettable, the arcade game was AWSOME. Which was how I ended up watching this mess of a movie.
Connor: Where's detonator? You can not take him just T-800
What was video about? I missed for I adored the girl with nose piercing
I dont forget this one I'm just weirded out by the story. I dont hate it and I think even tho I havent seen t4 and t5 but I still think I would probably like this over t4 and t5. I think I'm just disappointed with this movie and with the premise it could be so much more.
0:25 Dr. King Schultz says his name a lot too, though not as much as JOHN CONNOR!
Wow, John Connor must've introed himself more than Dr. King Schultz in Django Unchained. Lol.
To be fair I actually thought Salvation was one of the better movies.
it is sad how this movie could have done something special by focusing on Reese and Connor as characters through the eyes of Marcus yet utter fail and the fact that they do something new with no time travel and Arnold and make it set during the war which should be the most scaryest and heart breaking but is not but it is far from the worst in my opinion
Sarah Connor is the true badass of this series, this movie just proved it.
I will always remember this movie like the only one that tried to do SOMETHING different!!!
I actually enjoyed this one. I think the problem is they don't know who they want to be the main character. I think Sam Worthington did a great job in his character and the direction it was heading. John Conner felt shoe horned in and therefore his scenes felt awkward.
I appreciate the Star Fox noise. 10:00
I wanted to see this movie, but I never got around to it.
Another failed attempt by hollywood at recreating terminator 1/2. Is making an original fresh terminator movie that hard? Hollywood..please get one thing straight. The story arc ENDED at terminator 2. There is no more skynet, no more t-800 CPU's and arms to reverse engineer, the time loop CLOSED itself into non existence as skynet indirectly sent his own creation and set its own destruction. Cyberdine EXPLODED! The internet DID NOT exist by the time terminator 2 was made. Its OVER! Why is this SO HARD to understand? If you want to make a reboot. Make A ACTUAL reboot not a rehash of T1 and 2 with ever so convoluted plotlines. Its not like Hollywood is incapable of making good reboots....oh wait..nevermind. Edit: the reason that they didnt explained Bryce Dallas Howards being pregnant in the movie is because at the time of the movie She was pregnant IRL and the director was too lazy to put an extra line or 2 to ackowledge the fact that she IS pregnant and why. Making their interactions very awkward as the act as if she wasnt.
10:17 - damn it now I cannot unsee it.
still way better movie than all the other shitty terminator sequels that came after T2.
Stupid movie. Period.
Terminator Resistance is my new canon ending to the series. It’s not a perfect game but it wraps the story better than any of the movies ever did.
16:48 Now THAT'S a nostalgic call-back! XD
I don't care what anyone else says. Salvation was better than 3 and I actually LIKE this movie unlike 3, Genesis and Dark Fate.
"All it does is make me wish I was watching a Super Metroid movie." I'll drink to that!
I actually like Salvation. It's a bit of a mess but there's a good movie in there somewhere. Doesn't feel like a Terminator movie at all though.
16:27 NC-Classic
This was my favorite one.
I cant tell if this is the same guy who fight avgn
I actually like this one honestly for me second best in the franchise
And his name was JOHN CEN- Sorry j O h N c O n N O r! -Cues John Cena theme-
18:52 Except in 2010, in The King's Speech! ;)
I don't get the Cyberpunk reference you made to the machines... are you talking about the release issues... cause that's not 100% accurate; otherwise not sure what you're playing at.
Kinda feels like a hype jab for the sake of it to me.
THE BAD PEOPLE ARE BAD😂😂😂
Whos that other chick?
I actually enjoyed this movie mang.
Batman?
The only reason I remember this movie is because of Christian Bale's childish behavior on set XD. Hard to believe coming from someone who started acting since he was a child.
We have to admit to orselves the problem is that while T2 was awesome flavored awesome wrapped in awesome, it was actually the wrong sequel. The sequel shoulda been a mad max esque story set in the future, with John coming in out of the dust Mad Max style and saving the day and gathering his forces to attack Skynet.
Once again, they scrapped an ending that made sense. I think one of my favorite observations at the time was that since No Fate was such a through line for the first two movies, they really should have killed John Conner here. He’s not a destined messiah, he was the best/only route to human victory anyone on either side knew about. But the future can always be changed. And having Marcus take his place still ties the loop, as far as Reese going back is concerned. I didn't realize Anton Yelchin was in this! And yeah, his Kyle Reese isn't bad. I miss Anton Yelchin.
Wait, Holmes and Watson came out in 2018...? Oh my God... where has time gone.
6:36 bingo
This is the entire story to power rangers RPM!
Not sure how i feel about the idea of amazon drones being the end of humanity. Somehow im more okay with it than I probably should be.
Always enjoyed this movie 🤷♂️
TBH that Chitty Chitty bang bang line got a bigger chuckle out of me than it should have
Thank you black newt, I wasn't expecting that line and laughed really hard.
OMG WITH THE SMEE JOKE IT REALLY DOES GIVE THAT IMAGE XDDD
I still consider this the best Terminator sequel after 2. Story sucks like all the others, characters suck like all the others, and it's not very interesting like all the others. But it does give the joy of watching stuff blow up better than those movies... So I'll take this one over Genisys, 3, or Dark Fate.
Fun-fact for you, Critic. In Russia "If you are listening to this, you are the resistance" became a meme a few years ago. Few people remember the movie itself, but the phrase is trending.
I like that we got to see the war
There was also a comic set after the movie
After 4,5,6 I honestly think 3 is pretty good and it should of ended there
cat protection society ,, from australia...where the animals even try to eat the humans....... GL with that waste of money.
What about the rights of MY DEAD PARTNER?!
14:40 hits you hard. very emotional. thank you.
The commercials and previews looked awesome. I took my younger brother to a midnight showing. I had to convince myself it was good because I had to buy tickets and soda and popcorn and wake up early after staying up late to see this movie.
So when are you going to make a movie worth a shit?
Probably the biggest problem with the film, was that it was called "Terminator". It was kinda interesting, but it was too different than its predecessors. It's what many wished for & requested, (A more comprehensive look at life with the machines in the future) but when it finally got here, we weren't really ready for it.
Only seen this once back in 2009. Was one of the most forgettable movies I've seen in all my years.
what DJ is still playing music in the durign the apcalyps? well.... this is Three dog... AAAAWWWWOOOOO!!!! come in at cha' through the capital waist!
John Conner should've been a John Shepard clone in this movie, at least then he would've been believable as a legendary hero
1:20 Girl: so hes just an influencer where supposed to love because he existis? dems: uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh dont mind us!
It's the 3rd best one.
Sometime after Terminator Month, I’d like to see a review of Waking Ned Divine.
Hey if DC can remake a movie then why not this
The Star Fox reference made me very happy!!
Nice!
“Let’s talk about the one you forget exists” I'd argue its one of the most memorable ones. Not good at all, but being the most original one in its setting, much less likely to forget it than any of the others
1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day 2. *Terminator Salvation* 3. Terminator 1984
*I LOVE TERMINATOR SALVATION!*
*I'm sorry, Channel Awesome, but Terminator Salvation will always My 2nd Favorite Terminator Film. I watched it on theaters as a boy and I still love it, sure it isn't as good as T2 but it feels like a new plot, and thus we possibly will never get another film based on the Future War. So sorry, Doug Walker, but AVGN is better.*
How else would we make our blue beams stand out if we didn't make the movies themselves a drab blue brown
this movie is my personal favorite of the terminator storyline... as a guilty pleasure
DUDE....U AND UR TEAM MAD FUNNY!!!!DWL
