Summary: The BEST terminator out of all 3!
Review: Ever since I first saw T2 it has been my favorite action
movie of all time, and i've seen three terminators and the first and second matrix movies.
T2 packs a punch of fire power but still manages to interest
you more than most action movies which focous a lot more on
blowing peoples brains out and other gratuitous blood/gore.
T2 also has great special effects that will leave you amazed.
In short T2 is entertaining, interesting, and is one of the best action sci-fi movies you'll ever see!! :) !

p.s. The third terminator is good but not as good as the first
two. It's big ,and pretty much only flaw is putting in a
hot chick terminator, not to mention she's much stronger than
the one Anold Schwarzenegger plays!!! I'd give it 4 stars.
T3 is a lot of fun though and deffinatly worth watching on
the big screen with some popcorn and the sound way up high!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: I used to think this movie could never be surprassed until the 3rd one came out, so I'm not sure which one I like more. But this movie just blows me away with the extreme originality and brilliance of the plot. Definite classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This IS the ultimate DVD.
Review: *This review is about the ultimate edition of this film, not the "Extreme Edition".*

The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent back in time to protect young John Connor (Edward Furlong) from the evil T-1000 (Robert Patrick). Along the way they get John's mom Sarah (Linda Hamilton) out of a mental institute. She is there because nobody believes her story about the approaching "Judgment Day". So Sarah plans to prevent Judgment Day from happening, all while the T-1000 is hunting down the three of them.

I own the Ultimate Edition, which I managed to buy last year, and is definitley the best DVD ever. It has 2 versions of the movie (the theatrical version and the Special Edition which has 15 extra minutes of footage) plus an extended Special Edition with 5 more minutes than the Special edition but you need to type in 82997 and enter between numbers to access this. It also has three documantaries, storyboards, commentary, and a whole lot more. Good luck trying to find this. If you do manage to find this then buy this. Otherwise, you'll just have to stick with the recently released extreme edition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: T2: you must see it too!
Review: Terminator 2 is a rise above most of the other action movies that have been filmed in the past two decades. And it's got more than special effects to brag.
Unlike a lot of other action flicks of the modern age, this film combines special effects, actions, and good drama to the fore front of this movie. Most action films will depend on its indulgence and concentrational value of their special effects and action sequences to sell tickets and encourage rentals. Not T2.
Oh it has its action, its special effects which will keep you on the edge of your seat. But it has even more to offer than just that. A great storyline.
In the first movie, Arnold was the villain robot out to murder Sarah Connor. Now he returns as the good robot who is ordered to protect John Connor from an assassin robot. The assassin robot played by Patrick is T-1000 a highly advanced machine that is made of liquid metal. Sounds cool huh? Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor and is kind of on the deep end, on the edge of going berserk, very different than her character in the first film. But this is great character development and acting. If you knew that the world was going to end wouldn't you be a bit edgy? Exacto Mundo.

What I like the best out of this film, is the growth of John and the Terminator together. The Terminator will pick up certain principles and morals during the film, becoming sort of human because of the influence of John. I thought this was superb, it gives a dramatic and emotional element to this film.

Without the bonding of the characters around each other, this film would be nothing more but a waste of great action sequences, which a lot of action films seem to do. You need a human element in a storyline as well as a point to why it's being told. A point, meaning what makes this story so entertaining, what is this film about? And T2 has an easy answer to that question. Which you'll learn later when you see it.

If you haven't seen it, see it. You'll like it.

Grade: A

Summary: One of the best sci-fi films ever!
Review: "They lived only to face a new nightmare. The war against the machines..."

THIS REVIEW COMPARES THE EXTREME AND ULTIMATE EDITIONS TO
DETERMINE WHICH IS BEST: What can be said about T2? It's got fabulous action, great yet simple special effects, convincing acting, subtle social commentary... What more could you want? It's the definitive sci-fi/action film that belongs in any collection.

There are 2 DVD's available for T2: The Ultimate Edition and the Extreme Edition. The Extreme Edition has a new hi-def transfer and Cameron/Wisher commentary, along with some special effects featurettes and some computer features. Supposedly, the Extreme Edition has much better sound/picture quality, but I can't tell the difference. I never had the chance to watch the high-def on my computer, though. The special features are inarguably MUCH BETTER on the Ultimate Edition, which contains trailers, TV spots, full-length documentaries, extensive galleries, 3 versions of the film as opposed to the Extreme's 2 versions, a Dts track which the Extreme Edition doesn't have, etc. Both versions have a metal case, but the Extreme Edition's is notorious for shredding the plastic case underneath, and it is nearly impossible to remove or replace it. To me, the Extreme Edition is a recycled version of the Ultimate only made to advertise the upcoming T3. Even the menus look the same on both versions.

So, it's your choice which edition you want, and both are fine, but I prefer the Ultimate for the extras, sound/picture which may or may not be better than the Extreme Edition. The Ultimate is out-of-print and harder to find, but it's worth the search. Either edition you choose, the movie is great, and the DVD experience makes it even better. Nothing beats the stereo sound of Arnold opening the box of roses and stepping on them, making the *CRUNCH* sound.

"He would never leave him, never lie to him, never get drunk and hit him. He would always be there."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: T2 Extreme...Yuck!
Review: This thing is really not very good. The menus are terrible and not very user friendly, and it takes forever to go from one place to another. The "extras" are accesible only from a DVD ROM. That's right, they are useless on a standard DVD player. So unless you have a computer with a DVD rom, and enjoy watching DVD extras on a computer screen in an uncomfortable chair instead of the couch, you are SOL. I also found the movie (which of course looks and sounds great, as it should) to be prone to occaisional audio drop outs (My DVD player? Who knows?)
The metal case is cool, even if it does tear up the DVD case and is always dented, but besides that, this thing is nowhere near as good as the Ultimate Edition. It has fewer extras (and virtually none if you don't have a DVD Rom). The commentary track is very uninformative on the techinical aspects of the film, it mostly consists of Cameron cutting off the other guy (the writer I think) and offering pretentious ramblings about his "vision". And again, unless you have a DVD ROM or can find the easter eggs in the clumsy menus, you can't watch the theatrical version. And last but not least...can we PLEASE stop labeling things as eXtreme?

Summary: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
Review: Starring Arnold Schwarzenagger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, Joe Morton, Earl Boen, and introducing Edward Furlong.

In the year of 2029, John Connor has become a rebel. He has tried to protect humans from Skynet, a computer fighting human resistence. Skynet sends a terminator, different from T-800, out to kill a younger John Connor in the 90's. At that same time, John Connor sends a reprogrammed T-800 to protect him.

After saving John from T-1000 in the 90's, John and the Terminator go to to free Sarah Connor, John's mother, from a state mental institution. Sarah has been held there for years because of the events of "The Terminator". When they free her, they go to see Miles Dyson, the leader of Cyberdyne, the same company as Skynet, who has no idea of what it is becoming. All of them go to Cyberdyne and try to destroy it before T-1000 gets ahold of them.

Filmed with amazing special effects and an interesting storyline, "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" scores a pretty high rating in my book. This feature ends up being better than the original.

The acting was very good in this film. The acting from Arnold Schwarzenagger, Linda Hamilton, and Robert Patrick was all good, as for Edward Furlong, a fair performance. I didn't expect much from him, after all, this was his pre-"American History X" performance.

The special effects in the film are top-notch. They were very well done and even helped the movie win an Academy Award.

"Terminator 2: Judgement Day" is one of my favorite Action movies ever made. The special edition DVD makes it even more fun to watch, with the picture and sound remastered. You won't be disappointed with the ending, the emotion between The Terminator and John cannot be missed. "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" which released July 2nd this year, was a good feature, but lacked the heart that "T2" had.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "T2: High Definition": a stupid design
Review: what a stupid design by microsoft, this version of T2 only available in u.s...
why don't they write it in the cover???
i was so angry about that.
microsoft mp9 is just a joke and once again, STUPID!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Stick With The Ultimate Edition if You Have It Or Not
Review: The T2 Extreme Edition has its benefits on disc one BUT it has virtually no special features except for DVD-ROM, 2 crapy featurettes and the regular version of the film in ROM form on disc 2 but even that is nothing in comparison to the Ultimate Edition DVD BECAUSE the Ultimate Edition HAS TONS OF FEATURES plus the Extreme edition only has the extended version of the film on disc 1 unless you use the easter egg (hidden special option) and the regular version on disc 2 which can only be accessed through your computer as I said earlier so if you do or don't have the Ultimate Edition, get that instead of the "Extreme Edition"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better AV quality, extras well worth it
Review: I've always wanted to know what extra deleted scenes they had for this movie. And in the great tradition of movies, the sequal does better than the original and the third. I'm a big Arnold fan and this, along with the Conan movies, pretty much made his career when he wasn't being "Mr. Universe".

I'm pretty sure they enhanced both the audio and visual. But just like with "Star Wars" and "Dances with Wolves", they sure can perform wonders in Hollywood. Go for it.
