What is with the soundtrack??
it only has 40minutes of music and no terminator theme.
when i saw the movie i was very happy to hear the terminator theme at the beginning and at the end.
Why didn't they put it into the CD???
if you like scores just download it, it isn't worth it otherwise. unless they come out with a special edition.

Thanks for that. It's a shame no theme is on the CD. Damn!

oh dude, i agree. Terminator Salvation had a shit score. As much as people are complaining about the convoluted and holy plot. I really think the most compromising aspect of this movie was the score. Danny elfman phoned this one. I mean it, there were a few scenes where i wondered if Elfman was even watching the movie while he composed the music. I guess someone should have called Hans Zimmer.

Agreed, for the most part the score was crap, and the CD definatly was crap since it didn't have the main theme or even any of the music played through the credits. plus it was only 40 minutes 45 if you include the god awful rooster song that was only in the movie for 30 seconds so why put it on the CD, if that is on then they could of put the GNR song from T2 that was in T4 too. They could of made the CD atleast 70 minutes. Actualy all 3 summer movies that i have seen so far had crappy 45 minute scores. Wolverine, Star Trek and T4, had they been longer with more ques from the movie i may of bought them but i refuse to pay 20 bucks for 45 minutes.
There are always transformers unless they do the same crap they did last time and not releas the score till october and only in the states.
I am really looking forward to GI JOE score (alan sylvesti) he's generally pretty good. crossed fingers.

I think McG considered Zimmer at one point. I know McG wanted Gustavo Santaolalla for the more character/emotional driven scenes and Thom Yorke to add the music for the action pieces. Schedules conflicted and so this didn't happen. Step in Elfman.

Does anyone own the soundtrack for Salvation and is it better than Beltrami's T3 score?

Both of them were about the same, although with elfmans if you include the terminator theme that isn't in the CD would be slightly better
just go to a torrent site and download it.
I don't feel bad for doing that cause i wouldn't of paid for it if i had listened to it in the store. and im not paying for 40 minutes of music.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
