Other mistake: When Marcus, Kyle and Star are at the petrol station, a flying HK and the giant Harvester robot are able to appear just outside without making any kind of sound. In every other scene of the Harvester and the HKs however, they both make an incredible amount of noise. (00:37:40)
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: McG
Starring: Christian Bale, Helena Bonham Carter, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood
John Connor (Christian Bale) and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) both break into Skynet Central. Connor goes to look for Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and is able to get him out while Marcus learns the truth about himself. He learns that he is a terminator with human beliefs and his mission was to lure Connor into a trap. Marcus looks at a camera monitor and sees that a T800 is stalking Connor and trying to kill him. Marcus goes to help Connor and the fight ends with Connor getting impaled through his heart with a piece of metal and Marcus ripping off the T800's head. Kyle earns his spot in the Resistance and Katherine (Bryce Dallas Howard) tells Marcus, Kyle, and Blair (Moon Bloodgood) that Connor is dying. Marcus volunteers to give Connor a heart transplant so he can continue leading the Resistance to fight Skynet. Connor recovers and states that they have won the battle but the war is far from over.

Trivia: When Marcus Wright, Kyle Reese, and Star leave Los Angeles, they make their way up the hill up to Griffith Park. This is an homage to Terminator 1 because this observatory location is the same location that Arnold Schwarzenegger arrives at from the future, finding Bill Paxton and some other thugs and stealing one of their clothes.
Question: When Dr. Kogan is meeting with Marcus, she gets Marcus to sign over his body for research following his death. Later in the film, Marcus discovers that he's been turned into a cyborg. Why did she do this to him and what did she hope to accomplish from it?
Answer: She worked for Cyberdyne. She did it for whatever reason Cyberdyne wanted her to. They made Cyborgs.
Answer: Marcus was a prototype. It was to be the first to actually retain your human self within a machine, in other words your soul.
