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".

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'

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):

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!!!"

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.

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

I doubt I'll revisit this on BD although I didn't think it was terrible. Just flat and generic with some decent action.

Definately worth a rental at least

Terminator Salvation was decent, not great but considering T3 damaged this once perfect series in more ways then one, Salvation is almost a life saver in comparison. I'll consider buying the DVD version, along with my collection of "The Definitive Edition" of The Terminator, and "The Ultimate Edition" of Terminator 2..

Nudity? What a bonus! Hopefully it features the girl through.. :D
