Summary: the ultimate dvd?
Review: well as time goes on it is not as ultimate as it was and i would have liked a two disk set not a two sided disk BUT it's great. on the first side of the disk you have three cuts of the movie....yes you heard me THREE cuts of it, a reguler, a new cut with added scenes and a hidden third cut that is even more extended with the alternate ending (hint on finding the third cut; just go to to the options menu before you start the movie and punch in the date for judgement day) anyway i love the movie and it has some of the greatest action scenes ever in a movie, and in it's day the computer effects was groundbreaking.

now aside from the movie the second side of the disk is packed with stuff and will keep you busy for a long time going through it all.....and the metal case is just super cool.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SciFi Winner
Review: This sequel to the original has an excellent continued plot. The acting is superb and the movie has continual action. It constantly keeps one on the edge of their seat! The only part of the script that leaves something else to be desired is the scene where Linda Hamilton goes into her own speech or tirade against the scientists and the destruction they have created vs the creation of a child by birth. On the whole - a great scifi film!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: For some people, this might be kind of hard to understand but the original is a better movie, but I enjoy this one more. The first one is better quality, with a fresher plot, but from a guy's point of view, it has more action, and possibly better special effects than the Matrix. I reccomend renting this movie first, because if your reading these reviews, you've obviously never seen it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: really ultimate
Review: Michael Fletcher already did a great job in reviewing the DVD's special features, the Easter Egg and the other hidden and unhidden features of this cool dvd release. There is no need for me to do the same, so please check out Flechter's review for details on the dvd's extra features and give him a helpful vote for his great review!

A lot of people claim, that The Terminator is better than Judgement Day, but I like both of them - there are things that make me favor the 1st and parts because of which I adore the 2nd.

The story: Arnold Schwarzenegger finally managed to become to good guy, although he's still a killer-machine. The cyborg has been re-programmed and sent back through time by John Connor, leader of the great rebellion, to protect his teenaged ego from the '90s. The young John Connor's got his own Terminator now: Holy [*]! But of course there is a bad one too, trying to kill Connor, while still young and vulnerable and not the strong John C. of the future.

The special effects of this movie are fantastic, there are a lot of explosions, shootings, and Terminator-actions you just can not can enough from!

Deleted Scenes:

1. John and his mother operate the Terminator in order to turn the switch on which is responsible for the cpu's learing process - so Arnie can get more human-like. They open the T's head and enter the port, where the all-controlling chip is. For John's mother this is a turning point, a possibility to destroy the Terminator (although he is the good one!). Find out for yourself what exactly happens in this scene!

2. John teaches the T how to smile. A very funny scene, providing a hilarious expression on Arnold Schwarzenegger's face!

3. Alternate Ending: Interesting, but I like the original one better. Check out for yourself!

4. There are some more, but the ones listed above are the ones I can remember. Sorry for my bad memory, but these are the best scenes!

Other cool stuff:

If you stay long enough on the menu from where you can access the trailers and other stuff but don't enter one of the sub-memories, the Terminator's face suddenly appears and tells you to get out. Some other optical "snacks" happen at complete random! Check it out!

The trailer for the special edition is superb: Imagine lashing flames, the Terminator-theme (dum-dum-dum-dum-du-du-dum ... like that), then a rough, hard voice, while you see a bleeding T, exploding s*** and stuff like that: "Remember the action, Remem the danger, Remem the emotion ... if you thought, you'd seen it all, LOOK AGAIN ..." You then see quick cuts from the deleted footage -> my favorite trailer!

A featurette about the T-3D show you can experience in the Universal Studios. You do get some parts of the show, making you think about a short trip down to Florida ...

AND A LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT MORE!

The whole menu might be a little bit confusing at the beginning because there is so many of stuff to explore, but you'll get used to it. T2 is the mother of all special editions! Buy the movie along with its prequel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS A SCI-FI CLASSIC AND A MUST FOR EVERYONE!
Review: Arnold Schwarzenegger's trademark role is back for a sequel! This early '90 science fiction classic is a staple of must own movies.

The special effects can never get out of date. The story line never gets old. There is no bad acting.

This movie is full of action, suspense, and excitement. Everyone knows that this is one of the world's greatest movies and if you did'nt, then SHAME SHAME SHAME!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as Terminator 1
Review: While it is true that T2 boasts some excellent special effects and elaborate action scenes, it's just not as well-made as the original. For one, it's frequently way too dramatic and serious. It's practically humorless, while T1 was chock-full of dark humor. Why Cameron didn't add the same wit into this sequel baffles me. The drama and talk between the good characters is prententious and overlong. Secondly, the pacing is not as good. T2 is too long, and by the time we get to the great climax, we no longer care what happens to the characters. We just want more action. While T2 is long and has ups and downs, T1 is thrilling throughout. Third, the characters are extremely unlikable. Sarah is portrayed as a tough woman who has no problem holding a child at gunpoint and beating up anyone who gets in her way. John, for the first half hour or so, is just plain annoying. Finally, the film is just bland and uninspired. There are plenty of shoot-outs and explosions, but it's very tiresome and hardly exciting. T1, however, was full of suspense. So, while definitely not a bad film (it's entertaining at least), it does prove that bigger doesn't mean better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it's a lot better than the prequel but the prequel kicks too
Review: This is such a great, film i think that everybody should watch it termitator judgement day is one of the best films of it's kind it has kind of a funny but serious attitude to the way the terminator acts but in Terminator 1 it has barely any funny things in it all.THIS IS A MUST SEE FILM SEE AT ALL COSTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: Ah! The sequal to a fine film. usually sequals are never as good as the original but this film is great! They said this was what The Terminator would have been with a bigger bugdet but the 1st film had a love story to keep it going. This film does not have that so it hardly ever slows down (which is'nt not a bad thing). Add to that a huge collection of extras like great audio commentary and documenteries and you have a quality DVD. This is what all DVDs should be like; a good film with loads of extras. Sound and picture are also at a high quality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the movie DVD players were made for

The theatical version, special edition, and extended special edition (you have to enter a code to access the last one, the code being 82997, as in Aug. 8th 1997) There are enough special features to keep you occupied for hours. I would definately recomend this disk to anyone. IT IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredible sequel that does the original proud.
Review: "Terminator 2" is one of those rare instances where a sequel lives up to its precedor. While "The Terminator" is a darker, more ominous film, T2 is a more streamline action/popcorn movie. The plot here is still very strong, and with the addition of great acting, awesome effects, impressive action sequences and the genious direction of James Cameron, you have another one of the greatest sci-fi action movies out there.

Here is the basic plot of this movie. John Connor is a young boy in our present day. Another terminator is sent from the future to try to destroy him, this time the advanced T-1000, a liquid metal terminator that is virtually invincible. Arnold is back, of course, this time as the good guy, a "good" terminator sent by the John of the future to protect his past self.

The movie itself is a masterpeice. As the plot iteself advances during the movie, you connect with the characters quite emotionally, making the ending all the more impacting. Robert Patrick is perfect as the villian in this film, just as Schwarzenneger was in the first. The special effects are out-of-this-world, and the action scenes are some of the best ever on film. And, like the first, there is just the right amount of dark humor thrown in to keep the movie from being too serious.

NOW ONTO THE DVD EXTRAS! This is one of the best DVD's to have ever been released just for this reason. There are over 6 hours of extras here, everything from movie trailers to behind the scenes footage, commentary; everything a fan could ever ask for. And the quality of the DVD is incredible, too, the sound and picture are both some of the best I've ever seen. Simply put, this is a DVD that belongs in the hands of anyone who owns a player, especially for Terminator and action movie fans. If you like this, may I also suggest the following, and vice-versa. Aliens, Blade Runner, Totall Recall, Predator, The Matrix, The Terminator.
