Summary: The best DVD yet!!!
Review: The T2 Ultimate Edition DVD is the best DVD I have seen yet. Sound quality is superb, as is the video. In fact, it is so good, I would say that it is better than life-like. The extra scenes included are great, too. Even though I had seen this movie numerous times before, I had never seen the deleted scenes until last week when I got the DVD. Aside from the features and other good stuff on the DVD is the price. Normally, a DVD with all of these extras runs around ... . At just over ..., it is a must have!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This listing is incorrect

Summary: Perhaps the Best DVD Title Out There
Review: I own a nice collection of DVDs, mostly a lineup consisting of action hits (and a few misses). When I heard about the T2 Ultimate Edition, I was pumped. Well, let me assure you that this DVD collection is worth every penny. The DTS soundtrack is powerful and the scene where the two Terminators meet in the arcade is a perfect showcase for your system. Glass shattering, bullets whizzing, motorcycles humming, trucks exploding -- it doesn't get much better than this. The extra features and Easter Eggs (the alternate ending is nice to watch!!) are worth the price alone. T2 is one of the true science fiction masterpieces, and it continues to reign supreme on the DVD as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best DVD I own
Review: I am an avid DVD collector, and this Disc is absolutely the best I own. I am a big "deleted scenes" buff, and this disc realy came thru in that department. The Supplemental Material is practically a film school on T2. There are 3, yes 3, versions of the movie on the first disc. The third is the "Extended Special Edition" which contains two scenes the "Special EDition" left out: A scene where the T-1000 searches John's room and an alternate "Future Coda" ending. To access this verion of the film, select "speical edition" after putting in the first disc. O the menu where you can play the sp. edition, skip to a scene, or go to the theatrical version, enter 82997, the date of judgment day on your DVD remote. "Play Extended Cut" should pop up as an option. NOTE: I don't think this works if you enter it on your computer keyboard.

Anyway, If you liked the film even a little bit, BUY THIS DISC. The picture and Sound Quality are superb.

This film is rated "R" for strong violence and language, and some mild nudity.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not nearly as good as the original
Review: Don't get me wrong, the special effects are much better and more sophisticated, and introduces a truly ingenious villain--the "T1000" liquid metal terminator, which is virtually unkillable. Robert Patrick is perfectly cast as the T1000. With his lithe frame and steel/ice blue eyes that are truly intimidating--to contrast with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is intimidating for his sheer size--you can really believe him as a a creation of liquid metal. (He's much more believable, and interesting, here than he is as the excruciatingly dull Agent Doggett on "The X-Files.") The only moment in which Patrick strikes a wrong note, and it isn't his fault but rather the script's, is when the T1000 wastes time by stabbing Sarah in the shoulder to try and force her to call to John, when one of the T1000's abilities is the ability to assume the shape and voice of anyone it touches, and it could thus call to John itself.

However, the T1000 is really the best thing about the movie. Otherwise it pales next to the original in just about every way. The original had heart, and a sense of real menace underneath. This one wraps up everything a bit too neatly, and it can't help but ring false. Linda Hamilton goes overboard as the psychotically protective Mary-mother-of-Jesus figure, Schwarzenegger gives essentially the same performance as he did in the first movie (only with a few more wisecracks and some more impressive handling of weapons), and Edward Furlong, as the "messiah" figure John Connor (check out his initials), is good, but he seems just a bit out of place in the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: well i don't know what to say only that its one of Schwarzenegger's best movies and who ever that says this is not a good movie is dumber than dumb lol well anyways order this great movie when you can

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even after ten years...
Review: This is STILL one of the very best cinematic action thrillers of all time. You can keep Titanic; James Cameron really pulled out all the stops in directing this one.

The story is great, well-paced, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Most of this is due to superb acting all around by the four leading characters: the Terminator himself, the terrifying T1000, Sarah Connor, and John Connor, who, by the way, is one of the less annoying kid actors out there.

Of course, why am I talking about this movie since you've all seen it a hundred times? I owned the movie on VHS for quite a while, and was COMPLETELY blown away by the ultimate edition DVD!!! I've owned and seen a wide array of DVD's with features, but this sets the new standard. There are tons of cut-out scenes, interviews, etc. I've watched for hours, and still haven't gotten through the first side of the DVD, let alone through the whole thing.

All of this is wrapped in a very, very snazzy interface. You'll spend quite some time clicking around that haunting Terminator head, and enjoy it a lot.

This DVD is expensive, but well worth it if you're a fan of this movie...and who isn't? Oh, one more thing: the sound is SUPERB. Get a quality surround sound system for this one and crank up the volume!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Action Sci-Fi Ever; Even Better DVD
Review: Terminator 2 stands as the best action/science-fiction ever put to film; and the DVD lives up to that high standard.

Terminator 2, the sequel (obviously) to James Cameron's landmark Terminator movie, takes that films atmosphere of terror, of hopeless and heroic struggle against murderous and unfeeling machines, and kicks it up several dozen notches. This time, our mechanized friend from the future(Arnold Schwarezenegger) is fighting for the good guys; fighting to protect humanity's one hope in the future in the War Against the Machines, John Connor (played by Edward Furlong) from quite possibly the coolest sci-fi villain ever created; the shape-shifting and seemingly unstoppable T1000 (Robert Patrick, now of X-Files fame.)

Since we last saw our merry band of apocalypse fighters, John's mother Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) has been locked up in the looney bin for professing her belief that a man from the future saved her life from a killer robot and impregnated her with her son. But when her now-estranged son realizes that her tale was more then an insane rant, and gets his hulking robotic friend to help break her out, the spectacular action gets going (and going, and going.)

The action sequences alone are worth owning the movie. Using revolutionary (especially for the time) special effects, Cameron creates an adrenaline-pumping thrillride that has yet to be matched in the intensity of its atmosphere (and holds its own special effects wise, even against new-comers such as The excellent-if-slightly over-rated Matrix).

But there's more to this then great action; Linda Hamilton's performance as a fanatically militant mother with a clear vision of the dark future awaiting humanity is superb, and again, helped along by Cameron's strong visual style (the visuals from that "Judgement Day" dream never quite leave your head after you've seen it, even once!) And Edward Furlong's attempts to bond with his emotionally-incapacitated protector range from comical to touching, and provide another emotional base upon which the film works to its dramatic, explosive conclusion. To top it all off, this DVD, to put it simply, rocks. The visual quality, audio quality, the features (6 HOURS of content!), my goodness. All I can say is that this is a DVD experience simply unmatched by anything else (especially since I had the fortunate benefit of watching it on a 43" Sony Projection TV with 5.1 Surround Sound!)

Whatever Cameron-less machinations (pun-intended) might be undertaken with the future of this franchise, this flick stands as a towering achievement of high-octane, action-packed, smart sci-fi.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Seems like it was made by Skynet itself!
Review: This has been one of my all time favorite movies since it's 1991 release. When I recieved my copy of the Ultimate Edition, something was wrong. I have a rather slow DVD player so I had to watch something else first to warm it up. But it was worth the wait. I had no idea that they could fit so much extra stuff onto one DVD.

Three versions of the film, three documentaries, four trailers, audio commentary, spectacular picture and sound, kick [butt] animated menus, talent profiles, script and a full supplement that will take you until Judgment Day to finish reading. Awesome!

Onto Brandon's DVD scale:

Movie: 5/5. Arnold's greatest movie ever. Cameron's best too.

Picture and Sound: 5/5. As good as it's ever gonna get.

Extras: 5/5. They don't call it the Ultimate Edition for nothing.

Final verdict: 10. Probably the best DVD ever made. Well, I guess I'll have to wait for the Star Wars movies to be released on DVD before I jump to that conclusion.

If you love the movie, you'll love the DVD. Highly recommended. I'm serious, buy it now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ahnold at his BEST
Review: This movie is a masterpiece.

A truly original and fantastic story presented in flawless faction.

One of the best, if not THE best, action movies of all time.

I've watched this DVD over and over and messed with the extras a bunch of times for the past few months, and I don't think I've seen half of the stuff on it.

There are 15 deleted scenes that you can watch in sequence with the movie.

If you've seen this movie a hundred times, but have never seen this DVD version, you will be blown away by the extended version.

Also includes other deleted scenes and the original ending among tons and tons of extras.

This DVD is worth the price you pay and then some.
