Maybe the heart was armoured. You can put a human heart into fibrilation with a suitable impact to the chest; maybe this movie featured the equivalent and the heart was made to fibrilate rather than physically destroyed through the armour.
The problem I have is that you can just transplant tissue from any person to any other person; they're supposed to be matched to minimise the chance of rejection by the immune system of the host. When the cyborg offers his heart, no-one seems to point out that they should probably check for the remote chance that they're even MHC compatible.
The hand-to-hand fighting is indeed ridiculous and comparable to the absurd dog-fighting seen in Star Wars, inspired by arial combat as occured in the 1940s in planes constrained by areodynamics. If the "singularity" happened and machines iteratively designed machines to kill, they'd be unfathomably quick about it. You might not get time enough to realise what was happening unless you happened to be last in the quickly computed list of many targets. No doubt humans could design better killing-machines than these ones supposedly made by this singularity. They'd also have more sensors than a couple of cameras built into a "head" and couldn't be blindsided. They'd sense in 360° on every axis and in the Skynet facility they'd be networked and sense from sensors mounted on walls or wherever. You couldn't hide behind a cabinet; you'd been "seen" from multiple angles at all times by all machines.
It was already explained in the movie as a result of the "hyper sleep" which is based on a technology which doesn't exist so all your conjecture on what astronauts actually experience is pointless.
Hard facts? You're brain damaged.
Memorise the link and retype it? Have you heard of copy and paste?
What a ridiculous comment.
So they could float away into the vacuum of space? What are you talking about?
