Summary: an VERY over rated movie
Review: this movie is VERY preditcable just like the first one. you KNOW what's going to happen next BEFORE you see what happens! i have found a site and read the script to this movie and let me tell you one thing AFTER reading the script to this movie and then watching it. the movie itself makes NO SENSE! even when you read the script it still doesn't make ANY sense either one of these movies. they just don't make any sense and the effects get old after awhile. the movie itself is VERY over-rated and how MANY times do you have watch director's cuts of the SAME movie? this dvd has about 3+ to be exact and it gets rather boring and pointless after the first few mintues. sure he and that patrick guy are robots in the movie,but they act so retared playing it! this movie might be a clut classic and all,but the movie and ALL the differnet verisons of dvds and vhs make it a clut classic. this sci-fi makes no sense i have seen other sci-fi movies about robots(i.e. borgs-star trek)that have made MORE sense! avoid this movie it will just make you sick!

Summary: How to see the Extended Special Edition
Review: I read through the reviews here and came across with one that explained on how to key in a code to see the extended special edition, which is 2 minutes and 43 seconds longer. It has an additional scene of T1000 searching around John Conner's room and an alternative ending where you can see old Sarah Connor. Anyway, that particular review stated that to unlock the extended version, you need to key in 82297 at the special edition menu. I was not the same code as mine. Mine is 82997. So, I figure that those of you who got the DVD could also have different codes. Anyway, it's quite easy to figure it out. When you select the special edition, you will see another submenu. On the right side of the sub-menu, you can see some kind of a VCR button symbols. They are actually roman numeric codes. A square and a rectangle is actually a "I", a triangle pointing down is actually a "V" and 2 small triangle pointing up and down and towards each other is actually an "X", So, mine was "VIII II IX IX VII". If you key in correctly, the codes will change to "The Future Is Not Set". You will then see the the T-800's both eyes glow and the extended special edition movie would start immediately.

Summary: Ultimate doesn't begin to express the quality of this DVD!!
Review: What do you get when you take a sci-fi classic and the technology of a DVD...a great addition to anyone's collection!! This DVD is loaded, over 6 hours of content! You have everything they could put on it: Two featurettes, "The Making of T2" and "T2: More than meets the eye". They also have a making of the MCA/Universal theme park attraction. They have features that cover every detail of the movie, from make-up to visual effects. You have cast and crew information, teasers, trailers, entire screenplay and over 700 overboards. The technical features include the widescreen format of the theatrical and special ediition version and sound setups which include Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX, DTS 5.1 ES and Dolby Surround 2.0. There is even an audio commentary featuring 26 members of the cast & crew!! Amazing! Needless to say, the transfer is wonderful and the added footage in the special edition is really spectacular. This movie is a sci-fi classic and every fan should pick this up and the low price makes it easy to do.

Summary: Awesome DVD. Not without problems for me.
Review: My problem is with the Special edition only. Theatrical and Easter egg edition work fine. The problem is, at the point near the end when the Terminator is being lowered into the steel and dies you see his view and the horizontal red line goes to a red dot on the middle of the screen indicating he is history, there is a chapter change. This resets my machine and starts the DVD over from like a fresh bootup. It could be my first generation Panasonic 300 DVD player I don't know. If anyone is having this problem, please email me at [e-mail]

Summary: More features than you can shake a stick at!!!!!
Review: Any serious DVD fan must own a copy of this disk. Along with 3 versions of the film you get countless "making offs", pages of production notes with interesting information, and trailers showing how the film was marketted in several stages to avoid giving the fact of Arnie was in fact a good guy. There is also a rather nifty THX trailer which all adds up to the make this the best DVD on the market. And it all comes complete with a swanky metal collectors case. Forget Men In Black, this is the one to own.

Summary: Unquestionably the most loaded single DVD ever released
Review: Of course you've all seen the movie (and if you haven't, what the hell are you thinking? ), so let's get straight to the DVD itself. The second you pop it in, you know you're looking at the most insane, overblown DVD ever released just from the crazy menu intro. A lot of the best movies ever made were cheaper than the menus on this disc. And you get just about everything you could possibly want in a T2 DVD and then a whole lot more. Or, rather, you learn everything you'd ever want to know about T2, but the disc doesn't have one of the most obvious features fans would have wanted-- a Cameron/Schwarzenneger commentary track. Yeah, there's that crazy 26-people track with subtitles so you can tell who's talking, and both Cameron and Schwarzenneger appear on it, but it's obviously just pieced together from various interviews and documentaries (many of which appear elsewhere on the disc). As nice as it is, the best commentaries are the ones that make you feel like you're watching the movie with the people who made it, like the one on Anchor Bay's Evil Dead II special edition. And when you think T2, you think James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenneger, so their voices should have taken precedence. Everything else is as good as you'd expect, with three versions of the film all presented in fantastic picture and sound (DD or DTS). The Special Edition version adds some interesting moments (a scene focusing on Miles Dyson really adds to the significance of his character) but also some lame ones (the Kyle Reese dream sequence is melodramatic and drags on way too long). The hidden third cut, however, just adds two needless scenes, including a totally ludicrous alternate ending. But anyway, it's one of the best DVD purchases around, and everybody who owns a player should probably buy it just as a reference of how thorough the format can be. It's a five-star disc, no doubt about it, but they really should have gotten more of Arnold and Jim.

Summary: The best DVD I own!!
Review: This edition of the movie is just spectacular. The picture is crisp and clear and the sound is unbelievable. The Dolby Digital 5.1 EX is great but the DTS 5.1 ES version definately has an edge. If you own a DTS decoder, spring for this edition of T2 because the sound is definately worth it. A true 5 stars!!!!

Summary: Don't Terminate this beauty!
Review: I live in England and this compilation (as far as I know)isn't available here. So, I bought a multi-region DVD player - and I am so glad that I did! This is the ultimate in SCI-FI heaven! I absolutely LUV the special commentary that is available, and this HAS TO BE the best DVD available on the market at the moment. Even if it is available in England, I will buy more special edition DVDs from AMAZON.COM in the future (but perhaps I'll check the British branch first!)If you're hestitaing, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Buy it now and import it if you have to.
