Additional information on Terminator: Dark Fate’s Deleted Scenes and Special Features content for the imminent home release have surfaced with early reviews cropping up online.
The Digital Bits got sent a copy of Terminator: Dark Fate on Blu-Ray (and also presumably digital) and said the following regarding Deleted Scenes:
The deleted scenes feature extra moments of carnage as the Rev-9 stalks its prey, a few alternate takes, a scene in which Carl’s wife speaks with Sarah (and reveals that she knows what Carl is), and a couple of additional moments of Grace and Dani in the post-apocalyptic future. The film is better for leaving them all on the cutting room floor, so to speak, but it’s nice to see them here.

The website also elaborated about some of the featurettes…
A Legend Reforged is a solid behind-the-scenes look at the production in which all the key participants offer insights on the story. World Builders is a good look at the process of de-aging Hamilton and Schwarzenegger (and recreating young John Connor) for the flashback scene, as well as location shooting, stunt sequences, and what’s obviously been a very thoughtful effort at production design. Damn Busters is just what you expect: a look at the film’s climactic action sequence. And The DragonFly is a nice VFX show reel, highlighting the terrific effects work done for the film’s “future war” sequence. Obviously, the package also includes a Digital copy code on a paper insert.

Notably, The Digital Bits also criticised something which is bothering fans that care about Dark Fate’s home release…
Except here’s the thing: Paramount has made a few of the extras produced for this title Digital exclusive, including audio commentary by director Tim Miller and editor Julian Clarke, the deleted scenes with commentary by Miller, 3 pre-viz sequences (Factory Fight, Air Battle to Humvee Falling, and Humvee Dam), and 2 more featurettes (Creating a New Threat and Future Tech). And dammit, that’s just irritating. People who purchase the 4K disc are paying a premium price for a premium experience—for that money, they deserve to get everything on the discs.

We don’t agree with trying to force fans to keep buying the same product over and over for top whack either. Shame on Paramount Pictures for that…
