Summary: The best sequel since The Empire Strikes Back.
Review: James Cameron's Sequel to his original ground breaking science fiction epic is not only a ground breaking achievement in special effects but is a compelling look at the danger of greed and the abuse of technology. Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as the Terminator and is a good guy this time around protecting a young John Connor from a more advance-killing machine named the T-1000 played with deadly precession by Robert Patrick. Linda Hamilton returns as Sara Connor, and has been preparing her son for the future war to come. Her performance is a great continuation of the character she played in the first movie, and she has been through the ringer for her knowledge of what's to come. The special effects are ground breaking, and they do hold up well over time, maybe because they were done with a sense class, and not overly done like the movies we have coming out now. It's rare that a sequel could be better than the original in every way, but this is a prime example of that fact.

A true science fiction classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's Arnold, what else can you say?
Review: Hey look, if you are searching for Academy Award material, stop now. If you looking for amazing special effects, violence, and low level science fiction, you are home.

Enjoy!

Summary: HE'S BACK, AND LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER!!
Review: "Terminator 2 - Judgment Day," possibly the greatest action film ever made, is given what is possibly the greatest digital makeover ever created. Now, I've never owned "The Ultimate Edition DVD," but I know that 2-Disc DVD had a great second disc of extras. Now, the second disc is minimal for regular DVD-owners (it is mostly for DVD-Rom owners), but the featurettes are awesome to watch, especially the eight-minute production featurette with hilarious outtakes. The main extras are on disc one, including an outstanding audio-and-visual presentation of the film, and an enhanced-viewing mode that goes inside every facet of the making of this awesome film. Even if you have "The Ultimate Edition DVD," get this edition just for the new digital transfer! Movie/DVD grade: A+

Summary: Not perfect, but darn close!
Review: Terminator 2: Judgment Day is arguably the best movie in the Terminator series. In the first movie, Arnold Swarchenegger (sp?) played the T-101 Terminator, who was assigned to kill Sarah Connor, who was to be the mother of the man who would lead the battle against an army of rogue machines called the Terminators. Now, Arnold reprises his role as the Terminator (now a T-850 model), who's become the hero sent back in time to protect the hero himself from a new, liquid-metal Terminator: the T-1000, a robot that is all but invincible. The movie has a great plot and action scenes. My only gripe about the film is that the special effects are exceptionally outdated. Still, T2 is a movie that deserves to be in anyone's film collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I like because beach boys
Review: FUN FUN FUN. Thats what I think when I watch John Connor riding his bike from the the death ship. When I saw this movie, I went doodoo in my pants because it was so good, especially the part where Arnold kills Sarah Connor. He appears there and it is like "WHOA BUDDY! GET SOME CLOTHES ON NOW OR YOUR GOING TO BLOW YOURE COVER!" I liked it when he chased John on a tractor. It was loads of fun, and poop in ,my pants. Just kidding, I was wearing shorts. Just kidding, i didnt poop. but seriously Die Hard is a good movie and without candy land i don't know what board game we would be playing. Good night Wisconsin. I give this movie 3 thumbs up.

Summary: Michael Biehn returns in the Special Edition Version.
Review: Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) is the sequel to the surprise hit movie TERMINATOR (1984). This Ultimate Edition DVD is the best of any DVD package I have ever seen. First you are given the choice of seeing the theatrical version or the Restored Special Edition with nearly sixteen minutes of important added footage included (but not shown in the theatrical version). This Special Edition includes the new scenes with Michael Biehn with Linda Hamilton which never should have been omitted in the first place. I throughly enjoyed seeing Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton together again. It made the movie for me. Included in the package is a 31-page Collector's Booklet. On pages 28, 29, 30 you can locate, according to the listed restored notes, the chapters to look for on your "Display" for the newly restored scenes added. Chapter 10 is important as well as Chapter 13, my favorite. On Disc 2 (Special Features) contains the rare and first teaser trailer I ever saw of the announcing to the public that Tewrminator 2 was being made. This trailer is not in the film itself. It is of the Terminator being rebuilt ("Building The Perfect Arnold"), then Arnold Schwarzenegger appears totally nude. As the camera pans from backside to then a shot of full frontal (I was so shocked, I actually turned my head away. I was so embarassed), Arnold then says the infamous line "I'll Be Back!". (Oh! I'm cool now. If it's cool with Arnold to see him nude, then I'm cool with it too). I'm glad the teaser trailer is on this DVD edition. Thanks for filming in Lancaster, California. Lots of extras, interesting featurettes and documentaires. You can sit for hours enjoying this entire Ultimate Edition. Buy it now Terminator fan! Followed by: TERMINATOR 2 3D (1996), 70mm short film theme park attraction at Universal Studios. TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES (2003).

Summary: HE SAID HE'D BE BACK, AND BOY WAS HE RIGHT!
Review: THIS BIG-BUDGET SEQUEL IS AS GOOD AS JAMES CAMERON COULD'VE DONE. IT'S NOWHERE NEAR THE FIRST TERMINATOR, BUT, THAT DOESN'T STOP IT FROM BEING ENJOYABLE. IN THIS MEGAHIT SEQUEL, TWO CYBORGS FROM THE FUTURE TRAVEL TO 1991 LOS ANGELES, THIS TIME IN SEARCH OF JOHN CONNOR [EDWARD FURLONG], THE SON OF SARAH CONNOR [LINDA HAMILTON]. ONE CYBORG IS IN SEARCH OF JOHN CONNOR TO KILL HIM IN ORDER TO RULE THE FUTURE, WHILE THE OTHER IS IN SEARCH OF JOHN TO SAVE HIM. ONE BIG FLAW THE FILMMAKERS MADE WAS TO CAST SHWARZENEGGER AS THE GOOD TERMINATOR, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, AN ENJOYABLE MOVIE WITH GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS [ESPECIALLY THE LIQUID METAL SCENE], AND GREAT PERFORMANCES. THIS MOVIE REALLY HAS A SAD ENDING TO IT AND IT ALSO HAS A LOTTA SCENES THAT WERE REALLY TOUCHING. ALTHOUGH THIS SEQUEL LACKS SOME OF THE FRESHNESS OF THE FIRST, THIS MOVIE IS GOOD, WHOLESOME ENTERTAINMENT...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i really like this film.
Review: it was wild, full of action, and fun.

Summary: Good DVD but the extras are poor
Review: T2 is a great movie, and this DVD rocks, strange however is that with all the fuzz coming T3 they release a DVD with the only cool extra is an audio commentary from James Cameron (his first!!!), Cameron insides are very cool but for a 2 DVD edition they could throw a lot more than they did with the "Ultimate Edition", at least put the trailers (they have the trailers but only for PC DVD Rom).

The second DVD with the extras only has 2 featurettes about the making, one is just a bunch of scenes of the filming and the other is about ILM work on the effects ol "liquid metal" for the T-1000. For a 2 DVD set the extras are poor. There are a couple of things like this software to make you look like a battered T-800 but those are for PC's. So the extras are poor.

If you don't have any edition of the T2 series, this one will do, but I think the UE is far better, if you like the extras and stuff. The only thing this DVD has is the commentary from Cameron. That's the main thing to get this one instead of the UE.

If you already have any of the other version stay away from this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: To turn the extreme to the theatrical
Review: This is a message to overkill and everyone who has the T2 extreme edition DVD, if you want to get the theatrical version you have to highlight the sensory control entry at the main menu and press right on your remote five (5) times which will cause the words "The Future Is Not Set", press right once (1) more to highlight it and press enter, the special edition on the menu will morph into the theatrical version and the removal of the extra scenes will be seamless. this I have heard from other internet sites and I will only know if this is in fact true once I recieve my T2 extreme dvd from amazon.com and try it myself.
