Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Again, I have to add that "Terminator Salvation" was unwatchable. I walked out of that theater pretty pissed actually at just how bad it was. It's an awful awful film that I will never sit through again.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I didn't avoid this movie because of the PG-13. I avoided it in theaters and decided to wait and rent because of all the venom that had poured out against it. Even a friend of mine who liked it told me it was just a rental at best.

Titties and a little extra blood don't make me excited to see this. It'll still be a lazy weekend rental if I remember to check it out.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

you wanna talk about an unwatchable movie, check out Halloween II this weekend, thats the worst movie of the century right there.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Honestly, it was worse than Wolverine and Transformers 2 because the source material (the movie versions) wasn't as good as T1 or T2. If you want to buy it, buy it, but I found it extremely boring.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

But interested enough in the Blu-ray to revisit the thread?

Hopefully those not interested will get their comment in about disliking the movie and move on.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I'll still do a rental first. No way I'm buying that thing until it hits the bargain bin.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Same here. This ranks as the second worst film of the year for me behind The Informers. I'm not shocked it's going to get some pointless R-rating - it's not going to make the film any better. I wonder why they're not going the standard "Unrated" route with this one.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I too was totally underwhelemd by this movie. As far as re-rating them goes, the R rated version of Pearl Harbor brought the film from horrible to mediocre. Actually I have the 4 disc SE with the R rated version and although the movie is still loaded with corny dialogue, it is far more pleasant to watch with some "meat" in the battle scenes. I'm hoping we see a BD with that version at some point. Hopefully it would help Terminator.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I dunno what the rules are governing this stuff, but the cut they're releasing on Blu-Ray is the original theatrical cut McG wanted that was rated R by the MPAA. Like I said earlier, literally all he had to cut to get the PG-13 rating was 2 minor scenes, and as far as I know that's all they've added back in for the R-rated Blu-Ray. So it could be R rather than unrated because it's the exact same cut that the MPAA already rated.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

While the theatrical cut wasn't that great, there's a chance that the R rated cut could be an improvement (although I will state that I'm not expecting any miracles).

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Does that mean you missed the awasome "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" then?

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Doesn't "unrated" work better for marketing purposes, though?

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I liked this movie enough to see it on Blu-ray. It's been a pretty weak year but it always is at this point of the year.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I'm sure he did! :lol:

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Maybe, I'm just wondering if the had to keep the R rating because it's the exact same cut that the MPAA rated R. Like I said, I'm not sure what the rules are when it comes to that.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

They could have easily gone for an unrated with just a second of additional footage I'm sure is in the archives now.

But I think calling a PG-13 movie "unrated" will usually turn a number of people off because of past instances where the "unrated" PG-13 would still have garnered a PG-13 from the MPAA. Whereas an R rating shows that significant material has been edited back into the film (maybe not significant in this case, but definitely something).

I can only imagine the hand and eyebrow gestures he used as he said the word "beautiful".

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I think though it's a policy from Warner's that they don't release films 'unrated' on DVD/bluray - all their films have to carry a MPAA rating. Although I think thy reniged that for the upcoming complete cut of 'Natural Born Killers'

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

That policy was eliminated a long time ago, long before the upcoming NBK DC release....

No rating on this BD (that was released more than two and half years ago):

^ okay my bad

good I hate that expression. :D

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

There is only one thing they could add to this disc that would get me to buy it- the footage of Christian Bale's tantrum.

"Oh GOOD for YOOOOUUUU!!!"

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

And a bonus CD single of "Bale Out". :D

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

I thought this movie was alright. Not as good as the first two films by James Cameron obviously but it was entertaining enough. I liked that it was a change in pace from the previous three movies and we got to see some of the war between man and machines. Most likely will pick the Blu-ray of it up when its out.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

Never actually seen it but I'll pick it up to complete the collection.

Re: Terminator Salvation to get a R-Rated release...
 

It was pretty mediocre but at some point I'll grab 3 and then 4 on BD just to be a completist.
