Synopsis:

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.

Intentions:

I really wanted to love this film when it came out, but I just couldn't. I knew something had to be done, I thought about it and looked at it and compared it to the others in the series and thought, if all this stuff was done, it could be a decent film, maybe it could feel more like the series, so with all my notes I decided to give it a try.
