In 1984, a terminator was sent from Skynet to kill Sarah Connor, who would give birth to the leader of the opposition. In 1991, Skynet sent a new terminator. A T-1000 unit designed to kill John himself. And it is up to a reprogrammed T-800 unit, as well as Sarah Connor, to stop the T-1000 from succeeding in its mission.

I made this edit a couple years ago, at the same time that I made my Terminator 3 edit. I didn't release it because it was a somewhat minor edit that I just made for myself. But recently, on the forums here, on Reddit and in my direct messages, I have seen a few people looking for good edits of Salvation. So I decided I might as well release mine.

What if Terminator 2 was a smaller scale, lower budget horror movie— like Terminator 1?
This edit transforms Terminator 2 from an epic action adventure into a more brutal horror flick with older production values and a 1980’s aesthetic. While it’s still “bigger and better” than T1, the focus is now on smaller scale horror rather than epic grandness from a director trying hard to outdo "Die Hard."

I'm a big Terminator franchise fan and I have collected my favorite edits of T1, T2 and Dark Fate.
I have yet to find what I would call the definitive version of Salvation, and I couldn't care less about finding a good version of Genisys.
But Terminator 3, I like it but it certainly has it's flaws, quite a few flaws. The best edit I have found is "The Coming Storm" by @Uncanny Antman. The only problem with it is that it is only DVD quality. I have found 1 or 2 others that claim to be HD versions, but they are not the same, or even close to the same. So I am attempting to do it myself.

"Uh-huh-huh, hey Beavis, these effects aren't so special..."

The purpose of this edit is to improve the low budget, outdated VFX so it still feels like a 1984 Terminator movie, but the laughable moments like painfully obvious Schwarzenegger mannequins and choppy stop motion animation are fixed.

This edit does not change the film's narrative or add deleted scenes.

There are changes to the film such as all deleted scenes included that not only tie in with the sequel(T2) but flesh out the original story of the terminator & also a film that can stand on it's own regardless of the sequel(T2).

Many new sound effects are also present throughout the whole movie in which I implemented these sound effects frame by frame & scene for scene.

I've always wanted versions of the first two Terminator films that don't spoil the plot upfront, but instead let the story play out in more of a noir mystery style. This is the second of those two edits.

This edit pares off some runtime to improve pacing, and edits certain aspects of the story so the main characters enter the story without prior knowledge of each other.

This edit aims to keep the ambiguity of whether Reese can be trusted and if his story is even true for as long as possible. The audience is learning information along with Sarah instead of being way ahead of her.

11 years have passed since Sarah Connor was targeted by a cyborg from the future. Now her son, John, the future leader of the human resistance, is the target for a newer, more deadly terminator. Once again, the resistance has managed to send a warrior to protect John and his mother. The battle for tomorrow has begun...

This edit adds the scene of the T-1000 searching John’s room into the Special Edition. This scene was included in the Special Extended Edition on the official disc, but you also had to watch the alternate ending to see it. Now you don’t.

The Electronic Killer

For many years the planet Zeist lived in peace and harmony until the robots they had created to protect their world turned against them. A war that lasted for many years turned the once blue skies of the planet Zeist into darkness. On the final days of the war a cyborg escaped to the nearest Galaxy but little did he know a young Space Marine was close behind. Now the war will continue on our planet.

Mad Man

A murderous psychopath break out of a mental hospital during a power blackout and lay siege to a bunch of teenagers on holiday

T1 and T2 combined to make one movie.

From the future comes the Terminator. His mission: eliminate Sarah Connor. In the balance, life or death of the human race.

The T4 Cut, has altered Salvation by changing Marcus's entire storyline (who he is, and why he was created) & his romance with Blair, removal of Kyle Reese from the Kill List, added music tracks from the Terminator Series, and a complete re-coloring of the entire film. All this to try and match the tone within the Terminator franchise.

This fan created DVD features interviews with the films production staff, and cast;who gives details into the creative process of making of Terminator 3.

This 5-disc set collects a plethora of material surrounding the promotion of the fourth Terminator film.

The story thus far: Will Smith is chasing Trinity after she tries to escape with the secret documents. Sean Connery is not far behind and Nicolas Cage tries to keep up; but Matt Damon intervenes. A huge meta car chase ensues.

Blueyoda had a lot of ideas. All great, all rejected. But here they are. (Wut?)

This DVD contains a series of 8 short FanEdits that turn the Marvel Universe on its head. Each short FanEdit has been created by a different FanEditor using the many Marvel Universe sources available.

Simply put: a better version of Terminator Salvation... hopefully.

Aside from the newly created opening and changed ending, this fanedit removes Kyle from Skynet’s hitlist and makes John enemy number 1. Skynet doesn’t know about Kyle’s importance. It only knows about John Connor because of his radio broadcasts that inspire people and spread hope among humanity. Skynet sees this as a potential risk and wants him terminated. Sarah Connor’s original tape message has been restored.

Marcus has been given some flashbacks to slowly reveal his past. Tried to have the various Terminators appear more menacing and dangerous, and cut most of their illogical actions. Last but not least are little cuts and changes in various sequences throughout the movie.

Trailer 3 made Terminator Salvation look like it was going to be the best Terminator film yet. It didn’t turn out that way, though. In my opinion, it was a decent film, but it could have been better. One of the main reasons for that was Marcus’ screen time.

This is a serious take on TERMINATOR 3 to be more in the tradition of its prequels. Lots of cheesy and unnecessary elements were removed as well as all the references to dates and ages that contradict the previous two films.

This is a darker movie, following the style of the first Terminator movie. Now, Terminator’s mission has become a race against the clock.
No more cheesy one-liners or ridiculous scenes. The Terminator focuses completely on the mission. The T-X is faster, more powerful and more intelligent. No more romance between John and Kate. A complete new opening, plus a reference to T2′s Cyberdyne Systems.

T2 (in my eyes) is still #1 in the Terminator series. Not meant to be an improvement on either of the 3 versions. This is more of an experimental edit done out of love for the movie.

This creates a hybrid of the heavily cut theatrical version and the bloated Special Edition. Some of the badly placed humor was cut to make T2 closer to the original Terminator film.

A recut of Terminator 2 to create a hybrid from the best of both the theatrical and extended special editions. Other elements have been cut and remixed to create a more serious tone.

Terminator 1 as a more complete movie, extended with several missing scenes that truly add to character development and the storyline.

Very little to this edit, actually. It adds the scene of the T-1000 searching John’s room into the Special Edition. This scene was included in the Special Extended Edition on the official disc, but you also had to watch the alternate ending to see it. Now you don’t.

In the end, the T-X is a much more logical machine now. Her default program is now:
1) Upload virus that sets chain of events into motion that brings Skynet online
2) Eliminate John Connor (to her analysis, she did, since those “in the system” were taken out).
3) Eliminate Kate Brewster
4) Eliminate Robert Brewser after Skynet is activated
5) Eliminate top lieutenants
-> Upon carrying out #3, she gets concrete evidence that #2 was not completed.
-> If 2 and 3 are not accomplished in time to execute #4 by 6:18 p.m., execute the time-sensitive task of #4 before resuming 2 and 3 or proceeding to #5.

This is a simplified take on McG’s Terminator Salvation. Irrelevant, useless and unbelievable subplots have been removed in order to create movie that now focuses on the war effort itself.

This is a compilation DVD of most of the works by AMDS, who is an awesome mash-up artist. To create the DVD, the best available sources from the web were collected, high quality tools for conversion, error correction and upscaling were used. Be fascinated!
