Was Terminator Salvation a huge success as BD/DVD? - Blu-ray Forum

UniSol GR77 · 06-22-2010, 07:27 PM

Hopefully yes, because it is a brilliant film. I'm a huge Terminator fan, and can't really deal with the fact this one wasn't a theatrical hit. Tell me the rentals and the sales as BD/DVD were huge, and I'll be happy. Very happy.

Also, I wrote a detailed Terminator timeline. Don't you wanna read that? Love you.

In regards to blu-ray purchases, yes. It broke the record for a new release (previously set by Star Trek).

I agree with you that it deserved success. A great cast, and Jonathan Nolan brought a lot to the table as a screenwriter. A big step up from T3.

UniSol GR77 · 06-22-2010, 10:57 PM

I loved T3 to death anyway.

MaCruz · 06-22-2010, 11:06 PM

Love the series, and I really love the AQ with Terminator Salvation. Enjoyed it overall.

T3 was an embarrassment to the franshise....t4 is a step up, but still eh...

TitansFan4Life · 06-22-2010, 11:11 PM

T2 is the only one I'd want to own... which if I wasn't as broke as hell, I would've already ordered it for $10.

If TS ever drops below $8, I'll think about getting it.

it was like 6 bucks at deepdiscount a week or 2 ago

KilloWertz · 06-22-2010, 11:13 PM

Yes, given the facts (as mentioned by mpstjohn).

skid_68 · 06-23-2010, 12:38 AM

I hope it was a success because I want another Terminator movie. I enjoyed Salvation, so Im hoping for a follow up.

GunRanger · 06-23-2010, 01:04 AM

Salvation was awful.

+1 I Loved It

Squall835 · 06-23-2010, 01:36 AM

I wasn't very impressed by it either. It would have been great if it focused more on Marcus and Kyle Reese, the rest of it seemed a little bland.

Banger · 06-23-2010, 01:41 AM

I love Terminators I & II, even III (to some extent), but Salvation did hardly anything for me with the exception of the visuals. I'm also a huge fan of Bale, but he did not fit the role of Connor very well, imo.

Im pretty sure theyll make another. If i'm reading it right TS made $372,046,055 (Worldwide) (13 September 2009) with a budget of $200,000,000 according to IMDB. I too really enjoyed TS, and cant wait for another.

I think Terminator Salvation is really, really good, dark and gritty. Although I liked Rise of the Machines after seeing McG's vision with Salvation. I would have liked to have seen what he could have done if he had Arnuld and if he had directed ROTM...

Shaking my head is the purest form of disbelief...
