Summary: A Truly Great Movie, but DVD Lacks
Review: Ten years ago, an innocent young woman named Sarah Connor was targeted for assasination by a killing machine from the future. She barely managed to escape with her life from that ordeal, but it ended up having a tremendous impact on her. You see, a man had also been sent back from the future to protect her, and in the process he gave Sarah a warning about the terrible danger that threatened humanity--a nuclear war caused by a future computer that left humanity all but extinct. Sarah's future son, John, was humanity's only hope in that future, but Sarah could stop the whole thing now if she tried.And try she did. She became a killing machine herself, destroying the research that would lead to artificial intelligence. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to find the root cause of the danger, so she began teaching her young son how to be a "great military leader." Then finally, she was captured and institutionalized, leaving a rebellious John in foster care. This is where Terminator 2 begins. And once again, the future artificial intelligence known as Skynet has sent a killing machine back in time to prevent John Connor from rising to lead the humans. This time, though, ten-year-old John is the target. And once again, the humans manage to send a protector back in time, as well. It's only a matter of which one will get there first. Of course, the protector does, but just barely. And off we go on a journey that will change the course of humanity and, more importantly, will redeem Sarah Connor. For that is truly what the movie is about. Sarah, tormented by the knowledge of a horrendous future, has completely lost touch with her humanity. She is no longer capable of loving her son; her only concern is that he remain safe so he can lead the survivors in the future. Then, when Sarah gets specific information regarding the development of Skynet, she heads off on a mission to ensure that future never happens. Only John can stop her, but can this boy and his pet killing-machine convince her that murder will only hurt their cause? Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a story of life and hope and possibility. "There's no fate but what we make for ourselves." And no matter how far down the road we've traveled, it's never too late to change direction. T2 is, in my opinion, James Cameron's masterpiece. It works on every level, from superficial action to allegory. The visuals are brilliantly devised, from the evil terminator driving a police car with the slogan "to protect and to serve" to the fire extinguisher behind Sarah's supervising doctor in the interview scene. It is one of my favorite movies, and, I would say with only the slightest hesistation, possibly one of the greatest movies of all time. So why only 4 stars? Because the DVD could have been better. Surprisingly enough, 6 hours of content isn't a lot in this case. The deleted scenes have been available before and add nothing to the story (but kudos for allowing seamless integration). The additional featurettes are short, old, and lacking in depth. (And some of it, like the Universal Studios featurette, is just filler.) There is a much-more in-depth documentary included, but it is still-frame. T2 Ultimate Edition is not a bad DVD; it's just disappointing. Hopefully the "Extreme" version will be better.

Summary: One of the Greatest Movies of All Time
Review: Dear Amazonians, When I first viewed Terminator 2: Judgement Day in the theater, I was blown away. Since I got the Ultimate Edition of this DVD about three years ago, every time I watched it, I got the same thrill as I got the first time I witnessed not only one of the best action thrillers of all time, but on of the best dramas of all time. Many viewers have referred to this movie as an action movie, but I consider it to be something much more, a drama. This story of a young boy (John Connor), who befriends a machine from the future sent back to protect him from a ruthless ultra-advanced Terminator as he grows older, is very personal. The movie is violent, but goes beyond pure violence and noise for "shock value," and presents something truly special. I continue to watch Terminator 2 with the same passion and interest as I expressed when I saw the original release. And, the Ultimate Edition goes even further, putting footage that was never seen ino the feature. Now, the story makes even more sense as you see how Sarah Connor struggles with the will to destroy John's protector, while John displays some of the traits that he will need as the future leader of the human resistance. I very strongly recommend the purchase of this DVD. You will not be disappointed by its appeal. Take care, as Always, --Daniel

Summary: THE ULTIMATE MOVIE IS NOW THE ULTIMATE DVD!!!!!
Review: terminator 2: Judgement day is not only the best action movie of all time in my opinion, but has also now spawned one of the best dvd'd of all time!!! Not only does it have a coll metal case, but it is also has 6 hours of special features on two discs. The disc's also have some of the coolest menus i have seen on a dvd in along time!!!!!!! The dvd has two different virsions of the movie. the regular theatrical version of the film, and the special edition deleted scenes incorparated into the movie. There are also some hidden features in the discs which are fun to find. All in all this is the dvd that all dvd collectors must have. fans of the terminator must own, and a dvd that everyone should buy. It is definetly well worth the money.

Summary: One of the only sequels to surpass the original
Review: Terminator 2 Judgement Day is one of those rare films that not only is better then the original film,but one of those films that is so groundbraking that you'll remember it for a long time.While the original film is groundbraking in it's own right,the sequel is so much more.T2 like the first,starts off in the year 2029,where the Human Resistance and the machines of the future built by Skynet are still fighting.Again Skynet is trying to destory man's future by changing the past,but this time the target is not Sarah Conner(Linda Hamilton),but the future leader of the Human Resistance,her son John(Edward Furlong).Skynet as made a new terminator call the T-1000(Robert Patrick)to kill young John Conner.As before,the Resistance sends a protector for John,but this time it's the Terminator(Arnold Schwarzenegger)itself.Even though T2 is now 13 years old,it can still wow you with the stunning special effects that people still talk about years later.T2 is a great film to watch over and over again and is my fifth favourite film ever made.Alot of the images of T2 are really hard to forget,like the destruction of L.A. on Aug 29 1997.The DVD is one of best DVDs you can buy,loaded with special features like "The Making Of T2","T2 More Than Meets The Eye"and "The Making Of T2 3-D,teasers,trailers and what I think is awesome is you get two versions of T2,the original theatrical release or the special edition which you get the deleted scenes are put back in.I think that T2 is James Cameron's best film to date and like the first one,it makes us ask the question that the least person amongest us,could become the most important person in the future.

Summary: Wow! Is There a Spot in the History Books for Film?
Review: The special effects in this movie were better than the last, and the returning cast did a spectacullar job yet again. This film is action-packed just as the first was, and even has room for a few tears for those of us who are criers. There will not be a disapointed viewer.

Summary: The Best so far in the series
Review: Terminator 2 marks a rare occurance in film history, it's better than the first one! Yes that it very rare, how many times have that happened. Not many I can think of. After James Cameron pushed the envelope of computer-generated special effects in The Abyss, he turned this hotly anticipated sequel to Terminator into a well-written, action-packed showcase for advanced special effects and for one of the most invincible villains ever imagined. The bad guy in the previous is now the good guy fighting an even more powerful villian, T-1000 ), whose liquid-metal construction makes him seemingly unstoppable. The fate of the future lies in the balance, with Linda Hamilton reprising her role as the rugged woman whose son will change the course of history. The third installment is coming out soon, and I suggest seeing all of them. If you're going to buy this one, buy the first as well. 5 Stars definately deserved.
