This consists of interviews with the cast and crew, all of whom have something compelling to add within their area of expertise(and there is a very clear love of what they're working on), clips from the movie, behind-the-scenes footage, and incomplete effects shots.
It's 29 and a half minutes long. This is found on the Director's Cut Blu-Ray of Terminator: Salvation. It spoils a lot of the film, and so will this review, so that I can go into more detail.
They talk about that despite the T800 that John fights, right after the helicopter crash, being digital, they did have a stunt-man there, for reference, and so that the actor has something to react to. Some of the helicopters and planes were real, though they were sometimes used in conjunction with green screens. Moon Bloodgood talked to an actual female A10 fighter pilot to prepare her for playing one. The molten metal at the end of the film was created by a computer program that calculated how the fluid would move. The gas station was built from the ground up. The destruction of Skynet is made of 2 miniatures: 1/24 scale and 1/48 scale. Originally the Hydrobots were supposed to just be snakes, but the art department made them more interesting. Originally you were not supposed to get such a good look at the Arnold Terminator as you do in the film; however, the director wanted it, and the people doing it thought it was exciting as a challenge. You barely get to see the face of the guy doubling him. I mean, without him, it wouldn't be anywhere near as impressive. Well, they get there, even if it seems like they won't.
I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10
