Rating: Summary: Exactly What It Says On The Tin. Review: This is it. T2 in the way it should only be seen. The full length, anamorphic transfer and a cracking DTS soundtrack.Having only had my DTS amp for 3 weeks, this was my first real test of it (the DTS Jaws doesn't really count, I think). Ooooh my God! Every viewer with a decent sound system raves about the bass when the terminator stomps on the skull on the opening. I thought they were exaggerating...until now. I defy you not to wince as metal meets bone. Another friendly robotic chap turns and fires at the camera, the resulting blasts ripping their way though your rear speakers. The picture is very good, but it seems a little rough around the edges. It is worth noting that these are the same guys that brought you the dreaded Stargate special edition DVD. When compared to the original theatrical version released a few years ago, the new disc runs a fairly clear-cut second. I've always had my doubts about the much-heralded 'branching' system for multiple versions of storyline, but T2 proves that is most certainly is absolutely flawless. Layer-changes seem clunky and clumsy by comparison. The extras are stunningly presented, combining into one long film school class. Why shell out thousands a year when you can pick this up for a few bucks and have James Cameron as your tutor? Overall, a total must-have. Dynamite sound (pick out some choice gun-shots, play at high volume at night and watch with glee as the long arm of the law answer reports of gunshots in the area. On second thoughts, maybe not), good picture and all wrapped up in a limited metal slipcase. I'm not complaining about their definition of metal, but let's just say if the T-1000 had been made of the same stuff, it would have been a much shorter movie...
Rating: Summary: 1st one rocks! Review: the terminator returns in this action-packed sequel. But beyone action and special effects there's not much there. A mediocre story that we're given only only to get the audience from one action scene to the next. The movie is entertaining on the basis that you've seen the far superior first film. The film does do what Cameron wanted it to, however. That was to build a new level of special effects in the early 90's. On that level this is a succesful film, but almost seems more like a sequel to The Abyss rather than The Terminator. Just as The Abyss brought cg up a notch, so does this film. An entertaining film no doubt especially if you watch the director's cut version and have seen the first film.
Rating: Summary: 10/10 Review: THIS FILM ROCKS. About time thisCOMES OUT, SPEACIAL EDITION DVD STYLE. THANKS, now I have to try to sell my normal dvd version to some numb scull. Anyways I nearly blew a brain vesal when I found out this was coming out. Arnold is the King, and I can't wait to hear him try and do a commentary. This disk is packed which extra's. no all they need to do is bring out special editions of total recall, predator, running man and the rest of his ass kicking movies. That's it, I'm going now to go buy this film. Peace OUt GO SUNS!
Rating: Summary: THE TERMINATOR Review: This is my all-time favorite movie. The acting is great and so are the action sequences. The movie was way ahead of its time. The movie had a perfect mix of special effects and stunts. Even today when I watch this movie its hard to believe that it was made in 1991! What a great movie. Great acting by Arnold.
Rating: Summary: A classic sci fi . Review: Most of what I can say about this movie was already said. This film is one of the favorites films of many people I know, and I'm sure almost anyone reading this review has seen it at least once. To those who haven't,you better find time to see it.When you want non-stop action and excitement you sit and watch this movie. This is one of your best options,ain't no doubt. Myself,I've seen it maybe a dozen times,and still I'm excited every time all the way. I rememeber the time the film was released ,back in 1991. Seeing it on the wide screen was a major experience for me,which I carried in my mind for quite a long time. I'd recommend this DVD version to anybody who wishes to get the feeling of a cinema with a film that was made, and best viewed on the wide screen.
Rating: Summary: AMAZING Review: I was suprised at the end of the movie when I actually found myself feeling comasion for a robot, especialy one played by Arnold Swartzenger. Aside from Die Hard, this is the greatest action movie. Cameron is a genius.
Rating: Summary: Camerons Best, Arnolds 2nd Best. Review: Terminator 2 is a great follow up from the original Terminator, and even better. This time Arnold plays a protector for John Connor(Ed Furlong). The T-1000 played by Robert Patrick is an excellent role, as he looks freaky, and is a great T-1000.Linda Hamilton plays Sara Connor, another great performance by her. The sound on the dvd is almost flawless, due to the low activity in the surrounds, it would get a perfect 5. But the video transfer IS flawless, almost as good as Fight Club. The music score in T2 is different as we hear a bunch of noise, that sounds like STOMP, but it fits. Great Story, And an excellent action movie . A MUST SEE!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Horror And Sci Fi Awards Rating Review: Terminator 2: Judgment Day gets five stars out of five for creativity, special effects, and Sci Fi. Terminator 2 is one of the fewer seuqels that are better than the orignal. Good movie, surprised how it was made from a cheap movie company Artisan Entertainment who made The Blair Witch Project and Jerry Springer Ringmaster. The audio and vedio are like nothing you have seen before, but I wouldn't say that the Terminaotr is better than Robocop because he isn't, and Robocop could probably beat the Terminator. Also T3 is heading to theaters 2002 and all I know is that it takes place in the future and that there is a female Terminator.
Rating: Summary: ARNIE ROCKS AGAIN Review: Well what more can i say except that it was the top actioner ofthe 90's now it will be the top DVD of the year if not the decade.It has all the right ingredients,action,emotion,love,hate, fear and a rocking soundtrack,but none of these ingredients are any use unless they are prepared properly & mr Cameron has done a sterling job. I already own it on dvd but cant wait for the ultimate edition,but my neighbours probably can (sorry guys).I was lucky enough to see it at a private screenig by carrolco in 1991 & so saw the complete version but i am looking forward to seeing it again complete.roll on T3 in 2001. Lets hope that the original "THE TERMINATOR" gets as much T.L.C. as T2 when it is released on dvd in january 2001.Long live ARNIE & T2. p.s: I would give it more stars but 5 is all they'll give me .......
Rating: Summary: At long last... Review: Upon the first release of the DVD, just having it is good enough for most people. However, there is that tiny population, with me being one of them, who have the luxury of owning a LaserDisc player. People who do have the money may have owned Terminator 2: Special Edition. This edition is definitely special. Not only is this edition with the movie. It is the movie in its entirety. It is the movie with various edited footage and scenes that were not shown in the original movie release of T2. I remember watching this movie over at my uncle's house and seeing how it all fits so nicely together. The problem with the first release of the DVD is that I was too spoiled. Everyone who has seen the movie already knows what to expect. But for those like myself who has seen the added footage, it is definitely not whole. And now, August 29, 2000... the same date (month and day wise) used in T2 that tells the tale of the destruction of humanity and the war against the machine starting... we are now graced with the ultimate form of T2, likewise the name of this release. I fully recommend this for any T2 fans. I recommend this even to those who has not seen the movie in its true entirety. Not only will this release make much more sense, it will bring some closure to the questions that often plague our minds. People who are seeing this movie for the first time, I cannot help but recommend seeing the first and original Terminator. I know the effects and everything about it will look old and outdated to you who has seen glimpse of this movie. But it will make seeing T2 a lot more enjoyable because you will have the background story to fill in. And what is my personal opinion about this? Is it worth buying? For 40 dollars retail, that is a lot to ask for. However, considering this to be the ultimate edition, I say it's worth 40 dollars spent to receive a copy. And if you find any other places with a better price than the MSRP of 40, it is safe to say that you got your money's worth. Definitely both a collector's and a viewer's item.
