Terminator Salvation Competition: The Result

Tuesday 24 November 2009


Last Thursday I gave British and Irish readers the chance to win a copy of Terminator Salvation on DVD or Blu-Ray (the latter of which included a life-size T600 skull). To have a chance of winning you just had to answer this question in 84 words, or less: "If a cyborg from the future came back in time to kill you, how would you terminate it?" A big thanks to everyone who took the time to think of an answer, but the winner is:

Matt Murrell, who replied:

"I'd sit it down and show it films like Terminator 2, WALL-E, Short Circuit, Robocop, Aliens and Silent Running. I'd encourage it to grow beyond its initial, hostile programming. I'd make it see that it's not just an unfeeling tool, but rather an individual being with free will, capable of deciding its own path in life. I'd show it the many glorious possibilities that emerge from a world of human-cyborg co-operation. Then I'd hit it in the face with a hammer."

Congratulations, Matt! I will be in touch later by e-mail, to get the ball rolling so you can receive your prize... just in time for Christmas, hopefully. Bonus!
