I not disagreeing with you as such, I just don't think that a pair of boobs and maybe a couple of f-bombs are going to bump it up from a 12. America's are afraid of breasts, not us...

I just hope the boobie shot is the whole 3 minutes.

I actually posted this in the terminator thread in the movie section, from the bbfc.

TERMINATOR SALVATION is the fourth instalment in the TERMINATOR franchise and sees a grown-up John Connor leading the human resistance movement. It has been passed '12' for scenes of moderate violence and intense action.

The setting of the narrative in this film is an all-out war between the human resistance movement and Skynet with its army of Terminators. There are some spectacular battle sequences with heavy explosions and gunfire which include sight of many robots being destroyed, including a close-up shot of a robotic head being crushed by a helicopter. This sets the tone for much of the violence in the film. Most of the damage and injury is caused to the robotic characters while the human characters generally emerge unscathed. There is some injury detail seen, to the Connor character in particular, but these sequences do not dwell on detail and do not contain any emphasis on injuries or blood. For the most part the injuries are impressionistic and the fantasy setting is always well to the fore. Given this approach to the depiction of violence the film is contained at '12' under the terms of the Guidelines for violence at that level.

The film as a whole does have an unrelenting intensity which is a well established feature of fantasy films at the '12' level but the tone is comparatively light and plays very much to audience expectations for the genre. There is none of the darker, sadistic, elements that occasionally take such works to the higher category. 'Mature themes' and 'sustained moderate threat and menace' are allowed at '12' in the Guidelines and these are all elements that contributed to placing TERMINATOR SALVATION at '12'.

The extended version of the film also contains a scene featuring brief sexualised nudity as we see a woman remove her top, revealing one of her breasts. This is only seen from considerable distance and there is no clear or sustained nudity present within a sexual context. At '12', the BBFC Guidelines state that in a sexual context nudity must be 'brief and discreet' and this sequence in TERMINATOR SALVATION falls within those limits.

Amazon dispatched my copy first thing this morning. I'm praying for a Saturday delivery. Fingers crossed.

Most parents would let an 8 year old watch Terminator. I know the first 1984 version was one of the first 18 movies I watched under age. For cinemas its one thing, for home usage you might as well just release it without any guidelines on it at all.

Has there been any comparison online between the US set (which has 2 BDs) and the European single disc release?

The single disc release seems to feature all the content (both the 2 cuts and actual extra features) from the US release, but I'm curious about the PQ of both releases.

Hello I'm new to the forum and to blu ray dvds tbh. I ordered my copy through play.com and I have recieved it today but I can't play it! It gets to menu and I can't click on anything! It has a symbol in the corner that looks like a speaker with three semi circles. Can anyone help?

A word of warning about Shopto: earlier this year I had to cancel my credit card after my bank contacted me reporting the credit card info was being used in suspicious high transactions. Since my old credit card had just expired and I was using a new one, this was the only store I had used it on, so they had to be responsible for the "loss" of my info.
A simple search turned out multiple similar complaints, and with one store in common: Shopto.
I regularly made online purchases for the past 15 years or so, and this only happened once, and with this store (a store I used a total of 2 times).

What's more upsetting is the store never issued any warning to me (and other customers) about this serious security breach, even though they were aware of what happened. That's simply unacceptable. If my bank hadn't detected the transactions and canceled my card I would be unaware of what was happening.

Received my PLAY steelbook this morning, and can confirm it is the Directors Cut, runtime listed on the back as 118 mins. Phew!

Looking forward to hearing what people say about the quality of the UK disc, as I've held off for now.

If anyone could post some screencaps that would be great too

It's not a Director's Cut, those wacky English and their marketing.

Anybody got the HMV exclusive version of this?

Does anyone know if the UK version is region free or if at least would play in a region A PLAYER.
