Customer Ratings & Reviews

Brad Fiedel's departure from "Terminator" was about as noticeable as James Cameron's in the end. While Marco Beltrami's music is strong in its own way, it doesn't do what good sequel soundtracks normally do: the only time any original theme is used is the closing credits. What's worse, Beltrami's take on the Terminator theme was terrific and made you wish they'd used it earlier. My favorite tracks: "Day in the Life," "TX's Hot Tail," "Magnetic Personality," and "Terminator Tangle." My least favorite: the "JC Theme," which is woven throughout much of the score. It works well in spots, particularly in "Radio," but even then it just seems to be trying so hard to be emotional that it doesn't feel fit to be in a "Terminator" movie.
