The Official "What Movie Should I Choose" Thread

War of the Worlds

The PQ is absolutely fantastic and incredibly truthful to the style of the film (but if you're not a fan of grain you may complain). Plus the AQ is absolutely amazing.

Plus you don't have to suffer through Christian Bale yelling and grunting non-stop. And the story has much more emotional depth than Terminator Salvation.

Hey that is a worthy opinion!

Get a netflix subscription.

Terminator Salvation really shocked me, after the let down on Terminator 3 i was iffy about seeing 4.. but i really enjoyed it.. War of the Worlds is a great remake, i wouldnt buy it personally because it doenst have much replay value to me.. so i would have to say both great movies but i would rather own Terminator Salvation... which i already do!

[iam1bearcat]

i haven't seen Salvation yet, but it certainly cannot be worse than War of the Worlds... unless you like listening to a screaming Dakota Fanning crying for "mommy!" for 100 minutes and

[Show spoiler]alien robot ship octopus things that catch colds

[bttfiii]

man, it really is hard to advise on this kind of things. Should I get the red or silver Honda Civic?

TS has one of the best AQ and PQ i've seen/heard. but so what? some people just don't enjoy the movie

[Chaotic]

War of the Worlds

T4 has freaking amazing AQ though

[Bluyoda]

Wow!

Lots of feedback! Plenty of thanks!

It seems to be a tough choice, as whenever there is one who votes for TS there is another one going for WOTW.

I think I am going to get WOTW once the price has dropped to at least $16,...

I don't have any of the Terminator movies on BD yet, but might get T2 once they bring out an Ultimate Edition, for old times' sake...

I read some reviews on TS and watched a couple of Trailers, but besides looking really good, visual-special effects wise, I don't think this movie would be my cup of coffee.

I can't netflix or anything like that, as I am in Austria.

Again, thanks for the advice.

Get Terminator Salvation for PQ/AQ.

WOTW is awesome for AQ.

Shoot I have both, but if I were you I'd get both!

But for the best bang for the buck. Get Salvation since it's on sale for $14.99.

Buy WOTW when it's on sale.

If your willing to buy two other BluRay's Walmart still has the 3 for $30.00 with free shipping deal. Got mine there for $10.00.

A good quality disc is great, but I wouldn't recommend a BD based on its audio or visual performance - the film always comes first, so I'd recommend watching before you buy... but WOTW is a far better movie than T4, no matter how reference the audio track might be.

[Chrysagon]

Okay, you've heard all the opinions and now you are confused, so here's the definitive answer...

If you are a Terminator fan, and who isn't, then you want TS. I have it and its fun, it even has a 'cameo' of Arnold and the action is pretty much non stop. For me, good repeat value. And..great PQ and AQ.

Now WOTW is a different story (duh -- of course it is!). I have mixed feelings about it. I like Tom Cruise, but this was more of a TC movie than what I wanted from WOTW. I wish they had chosen a different actor. Also, it's a very dark (mood wise) movie. It''s not fun and is not supposed to be, so it is one you have to be in the mood to watch. I found it depressing. It is well done but after seeing it twice -- once at the theater and once home, I have little desire to see it again. I don't plan to purchase WOTW.

On the other hand, TS is a good movie to pop into your BR player on a moments notice for some good and fun action. TS is a good blind buy. I'd watch WOTW before buying.

PS I'd get Minority Report (with TC) over WOTW.

I think if you're a Terminator fan (of the first two films) you would want to avoid Salvation at all costs. McG(imp) couldn't direct traffic!

[Buddy Christ]

Terminator salvation blows!!
War Of The World is Awesome.

You will be in the same shoes as you were before you started this thread.

Or buy what you want.

It will sound like I am being a jerk but how can we decide for you when we do not know your taste? I have a hard enough time deciding for myself

RT RATING..
TS 32
WOTW 74

People are trying to sell TS on PQ/AQ that is silly!!!

If could watch a dog a dog poo in the highest of highest highest PQ/AQ I would not!!

[Scorxpion]

Haven't watched Terminator Salvation before,just one month ago a friend got me a BD copy from Canada,what can i say Extraordinary.Go and buy Terminator Salvation and enjoy AQ all the way.Just Astonishing and Marvelous better than Terminator 3 and Terminator 1

[G:Box]

On what level is Salvation better than The Terminator? And please don't refer to PQ or AQ.

[Porkchop Express]

PQ/AQ aside. I enjoyed Terminator Salvation more. If you're a fan of the Terminator series, I think you'll enjoy it a lot.

i'm not referring to PQ or AQ ,But i enjoy Terminator Salvation more than i did viewing Terminator 3 or Terminator one.

[boxterduke]

I would get War of the Worlds just because of the grain. I can't get enough grain.
