Summary: THIS is how a DVD should be presented!
Review: What can I say? Surely everyone who's fan of the genre has seen the movie several times by now. But the picture is perfect, and the 5.1 surround just RIPS and puts you right in the middle of the action. Many DVD's make rather dissappointing use of surround sound.They need to give this a listen to see how it should be done. My only gripe is the lack of separate French and Spanish language tracks,so I still have the rugular version of the T2 DVD. Languge students take note,DVD's are a great (someimes VERY frustrating) tool for the intemediate student on up,though I'm sure many have discoverd that by now.(And those dreadful Pokémon cartoons are much more tolerable with an alternat language track). But as for T2..Listen to me now and hear me later and understand a coupl of weeks ago in the not too distant future..if you don't have the T2 Ultimate Edition DVD, you are quickly relenquishing your right to claim yourself as a fan of the film! (As for Star Wars and Indy Jones, right now I would be as happy as a pig in...uh..you know..for movie-only versions with 5.1 on DVD!!)

Summary: THE blockbuster
Review: The first Terminator film was very low budget, but ultimately succeeded in terms of a fantastic storyline and a menacing villain[Arnold as the terminator]wich led to its immense box office success. Everybody suspected a sequel, and so it came, in the form of Terminator 2:Judgement Day, a bigger, better, more action packed sequel.
John Connor has now been born and is now about 13 years old. Now he is the target for the brand new T-1000, a liquid metal killing machine whose mission is to destroy him and ultimately ending the future of the machines in which he is the leader.
But like in the first film, the future resistance is able to send back a terminator aswell, but to protect young John.
The good terminator[played by arnold] finds John first, and they both go on the run from the T-1000, in which Arnold is no match. Which follows is a sequence of events that keeps you on the edge of your seat with awsome special effects and some truly amazing stunts. Of course this is a James Cameron picture, no surprise. The maestro of big budget event films.
This is an amazing action film which most people will love, and to boot it is an amzing DVD loaded with special features and some really slick menus.A must buy DVD movie in every respect.

Summary: A thick piece of work
Review: Never let it be said that no effort went into the production of this DVD. From the digitally animated menus to the staggering 6 hours of content, this pair of discs has more than enough to compensate for its flaws. The main feature has two basic options- the theatrical release of T2 and the special edition of T2. The difference between them lies in the fact (explained in the documentary on disc 2) that the film ran a little too long, and therefore some scenes had to be cut. While these don't alter the movie in any serious, plot-oriented way, they do develop the characters more (specifically John Connor and Miles Dyson) and are worth sitting through the extra half hour of film. There has been a lot of talk about the secret version of the movie, that you access by putting in the special code on one of the menu screens. I thought this was the weakest version of the film, due to the adding on of a special extra scene at the end. This happy ending, the tone of which is a complete mismatch with the rest of the film, takes place in the year 2030.(or thereabouts) In it, and aged Sarah Connor and her granddaughter are laughing on the playground in an idyllic future paradise. This is pure sugar, obviously filmed to appease the studio bigwigs who found the film too dark, and then cut from the original when James Cameron came to his senses. In terms of packaging and production, "T2 The Ultimate Edition" is superb, and rivals such other masterfully produced titles as Fight Club and Rushmore. Bottom line: if you like T2 and want to own a really nice copy of it, this DVD is well worth the price.

Summary: Sweet merciful lord. It is beautiful!
Review: You know, if more people took DVD making as seriously as James Cameron does on this DVD, it would probably make me a lot more excited about the potential of the medium. Most DVDs in recent release have had little to no extra content. But I digress.T2: Ultimate Edition is exactly that. This is the absolute perfect release that fans of this fantastic movie have been waiting for. I'm pretty sure the extra features on this disc reach near four hours, and all of it is interesting. The best thing about the disc is that you can watch the movie in two very distinct (and one rather similiar) ways. The first choice is to watch the DVD without the deleted scenes reinserted. This is okay for purists who liked the original cut, but it [stinks] in my opinion. The deleted scenes are all integral in understanding what the original version of the movie was supposed to be. There are quite a few brilliant scenes that will have you angered when you realize how good they are. I can't ruin anything for you guys. The content on these discs has to be scene to be believed. It is simply amazing, and the perfect testament to one of the most important (SFX wise) movies ever released. A groundbreaking movie, and a groundbreaking DVD.

Summary: the most nicely-put-together dvd ive ever seen
Review: this dvd is awesome, not to mention the movie itself. the movie takes place 7 years after the first one. sarah conner (linda hamilton) is put in a mental home because nobody believed her about the terminator. meanwhile, her son john (eddie furlong) is being pursued by two terminators the T-101 (arnold schwartennegar) and the T-1000 (robert patrick). which one is the good one, or the bad one? u have to get this dvd to find out. other cool features r the original script, trailers, documentries on how the movie was made, and two versions of the movie, the theatrical version, which is the version that was originally in the theatres, and the special edition, which contains about 40 minutes total of new scenes. GET THIS DVD IF U LIKE T2!

Summary: Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (Special Edition DVD)
Review: SUPURB!! I have always loved the film but you get so much more from this Special Edition DVD.
You get the film on one disc, and it has a lot more scenes in it that had been cut out for the original release. On the other disc, you have the making of the film as well as the making of the Terminator 2 3-D at Universal Studios, which was great. I have just been to Universal Studios in Florida & T2 3-D was AMAZING! This DVD is very worth Buying.

Summary: Great DVD, but I don't see how this can surpass the original
Review: Sure, Terminator 2 might be more technologically advanced than the first one as well as longer and has more action but for some reason the first one catches my eye more and seduces me more. The 2nd one starts 10 years after the first terminator came back to kill Sarah Conner but failed, the 2nd terminator was sent to kill John when he was only ten years old, however this was a T-1000, an advanced Terminator that can copy and imitate anything it touches. As in the first a protector is sent, the T-800, the same model as the first terminator who is kinder and gentler in this movie. The reason the first terminator is better is because the humans don't stand a chance against the Terminator, it's a cyborg and they can't kill it, two Terminators fighting each other gives away the ending of the 2nd movie. the sound mix is alright but the way the widescreen picture is set up isn't as amazing as the first terminator movie. I was kinda left disappointed but I did enjoy the movie a great deal, but today it's not as amazing, it's just too serious and tries to be better than the first movie, most sequels don't try to surpass the original but extend the story. But anyways, the picture quality is good and the sound mix isn't too shabby, the DVD menu is kind of hard to navigate through and the documentaries are more about interviews but not actually shooting scenes and how they came about or what they used to make them. Why I give this DVD 4 stars is the fact that it's the terminator and was also one of the first rated r movies I ever watched and to this day still makes me guilty because I know I should have not watched it because I wasn't supposed to, oh well, can't change the past can you?

Summary: EXELENT.
Review: This was a great movie. This in my opinion was WAY better than the first. Plus in this one Arnold was acting better. If you think oh its the same plot, your wrong. Arnold Schwarzenegger play the good guy this time and he talks more. Robert Patric plays the bad guy. The plot is the movie starts out 2029.The voice of Linda Hamelton explains whats going on. Her son was born and stuff. I do not want to go through it so I wont. Its good. Just buy it.

Summary: The 1991 Classic sequel from James Cameron.
Review: Boy! James Cameron sure knows how to be a great director, This sequel is about Arnold Schwartzenger playing The Terminator
again ( but this time he is good) and must protect a boy named
" John Conner" ( Edward Furlong) from a Deadly Transforming
Blob-like Terminator called " T-1000". We all know what this movie is about cause we've seen it a heck of a lot of times, but the Ultimate Edition here is great stuff which includes the secret of it's success, Commentaries, TV Spots, Trailers,
Box-Office Reports, Posters, Merchandise Lists and everything that makes this a Movie you must own for your DVD Player.

Summary: Just A Recommendation
Review: For those of us who have seen the original theatre edit of "T2" and were left... umm... "wondering" about certain aspects of the plot -- Well... I'm afraid I cannot be the film director's 'saviour' by explaining how in the world a shattered "T-1000" reanimates and reforms (or where in the heck the CPU of that thing was supposedly housed), or, most troubling of all, how "T-1000" even manages to make the jump through time in the first place, since the first film had already established that only "living tissue"-- or something surrouned by such, as were the "CSM-101s" --could actually make the journey.... (Okay, maybe we can fake it a little and say that "future John" was mistaken about the "living tissue" thing, and he confused the ability to "mimic" living flesh with the real deal.) But if anyone was ever left wondering about certain other unanswered questions (for instance, how does an emotionally blank "CSM-101" suddenly and seemingly spontaneously display a playful little smirk to John in the weapons cache) simply MUST view the ''extended'' (''unedited") version of the film. Because of the number of questions this uncut version of the film answers to satisfaction, another enigmatic question will be raised, namely, "Why the [Ewe No Wear] were these scenes deleted from the theatrical release in the first place???"
