Summary: There are 3 versions people!
Review: Ok someone in their review said that there isn''t three versions of this movie included, well there is! There first two you can get to by accessing the menus and the thrid is a hidden easter egg which has no menu links. The third version has about 5 more minutes tacked on to the special edition. I suggest you go check out a site that post dvd easter eggs, so you can access this feature, and trust me it does work, as I did it just before typing this and it does work. 6 2 9 9 7 If you know the easter egg then those numbers make sense to you :)

Summary: So You Want to See the Third [Hidden] Version?
Review: Okay, here's how. [Contrary to some reports, THERE IS a THIRD VERSION! ]

First, load up the side with the feature presentations. Okay, now choose "Special Edition" from main menu. The SE menu comes up. Okay, now type in the combination '82997' on your remote key pad, hitting enter after each number. Dada. A new menu option should now appear that grants you access. (BTW if you watched T2 before, you should know what those numbers mean!)

OR, there's the simple cheat--just use your remote to jump right to "Title 3" and you're there.

Now, sit back and enjoy the special extended version!

Summary: The Ultimate Terminator
Review: I have T2 on VHS and DVD but when the Ultimate version came out I couldn't wait to run out and buy it. The extras are excellent and the story boards and script are something you usually don't get all in one package. As I came to expect, it was a visual masterpiece. The sound, however, was alternately excellent and awful. The sound effects were the best. Gun shots seemed to pass right through me in 5.1. There is a chase scene where Arnold, on a motorcycle, blasts open a chainlink gate. I heard the gate blast open in front of me then smash behing me. Other action sequences had the same effect of putting you in the middle of the action. The dialog, however, was too quiet at times. So much so that I had to readjust the volume every so often even with the center speaker up all the way. I have a good surround system and over 30 DVD movies and have rented many. This is the only one I had trouble with. This cost Ultimate T2 one star in my book.

Summary: How to find the 3rd version of the film
Review: For those who cannot find the 3rd version of T2 on the Ultimate Collection disc here is the reason why: IT'S HIDDEN! It is on there you just have to find it.

There are 2 ways of finding this. The easiest way is to go directly to title 3 (see your dvd player manual for that). The other way is a bit more complicated. First you go to the Special Edition version screen, you should see some weird symbols on the right hand side of the screen, then you press the numbers 82997 on your remote (FYI: that is the date of Judgement Day in the movie). Those weird symbols should disappear one by one as you press the numbers. When your done it should say "The Future Is Not Set". Then the "Extended Special Edition" should show up and then plays automaticly.

Summary: T2 RULES!
Review: This limited T2 special edition finally brings out the potential of DVD! Wow! I'm a terminator fan from the first hour, so the 'special edition' was in my LaserDisc collection for years. And although that edition covers the entire SE as on this DVD, the sound quality was (back then) limited to digital Dobly Surround. Not bad, but I always hoped for T2 in AC-3. That AC-3 LaserDisc version of T2:SE never made it to production, but now the DVD has!!! And when you're lucky enough to have DTS playback you'll be surprised by the quality they out into this movie. Ofcourse it had to be good, since it is THX certified, so picture & sound quality are absolutely superb! The dual layer, double sided disc is PACKED with extra's. So much it will take you HOURS & HOURS to see it all. The unique thing about it is, that it's all worth it! Although I keep my LD version, I'm pretty sure it will not spinn too many rounds in my (combi) player!

THIS DVD IS A 'MUST HAVE!' NOW GO ON & BUT IT!

Summary: Hidden Audio
Review: Play the DVD backwards. The result is Hidden THX Audio. At The end a T1000 voice will give special instruction on viewing the FOURTH Feature version!

Summary: When will the studios learn?
Review: In almost every case I've encountered, the director's cut far surpasses what was shown in the theaters. In the case of James Cameron, it was true of "The Abyss", and it's true for T2. The theatrical cut can be watched on this DVD, but so can the "Special Edition" (and if you pay close attention to the DVD menues, you can unlock an Extended Special Edition with a different ending...) The Special Edition just makes more sense than the theatrical version -- there's a lot more dealing with the CPU that makes the Terminator and SkyNet tick; more family time with Miles Dyson; and more scenes showing the cruelty (and flaws) of the T-1000. All in all, it makes the characters face more challenges than in the theatrical cut, which gives them all more depth and makes for a better picture.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The extras are worth half the price
Review: The movie(s) themselves are worth more than half the price, but, the behind the screen footage is worth the other half. Glad I made the purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST DVD EVER!
Review: You can just tell this thing is going to rock by the metal case, the 32 page booklet,and the rest of the packaging, but then you open it up and realize it's a masterpiece. This DVD exemplifies what DVD should be! Check out the interactive menus and you'll be amazed. The THX trailer is astonishing. The amount of footage they packed on the 2 DVDs (technically called side 1 and 2)will shock you. And then the movie. I would watch the uncut version last to really appreciate the value of the deleted scenes. Keep the booklet handy to point out the added scenes. This is not some crappy 2 minutes of footage, it's over 20 (I think). For the most part these are significant scenes. ESPECIALLY the part where Sarah wants to crush the Terminator's CPU. Previously, this extra stuff was only available on the 2 tape VHS set, which was hard to wade through and change tapes over. Maybe it was on a LaserDisc, but again I don't know that. If you don't own a player or DVD-ROM, wait no further. The Star Wars Trilogy won't be out for a long, long time and this edition of T2: Judgement Day is a must have....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: T2: The Ultimate DVD
Review: Since DVD's were first released, there has never been one with more added features that Terminator 2. T2 is the perfect mix of special effects & science-fiction horror! To complete the Ultimate Terminator Collection, the original Terminator should be digitally remastered in Dolby Stereo Surround Sound. I really find the mono sound annoying, especially when the rest of my DVDs are in 5.1 sound! ! Terminator 2: Judgement Day!
