Amazon.com: After he pushed the envelope of computer-generated special effects in The Abyss, director James Cameron 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. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a legitimate sequel: there's more story to tell about a hulking, leather-clad android (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who arrives from the future to protect a rebellious teenager and future leader (Edward Furlong) from being killed by the tenacious T-1000 robot (Robert Patrick), whose liquid-metal construction makes him seemingly unstoppable. The fate of the future lies in the balance, with Linda Hamilton (who would later marry her director) reprising her role as the rugged woman whose son will change the course of history. The digital video disc of this blockbuster hit is presented with a digitally mastered THX soundtrack. --Jeff Shannon
T2 I was very pleased with this movie. I received it faster than I expected to and the picture quality was great! I was a little skeptical at first about how it would look in high def since it's almost 20 years old but the transfer to HD was very impressive.
Still the best one of the series. T2, who hasn't seen T2? One of the most amazing movies of all time, it takes everything that was great about the first one and cranks it up by one hundred. The action, the story, the acting, pretty much everything is just amazing. The FX still look good after all these years. The new Terminator is just a bad a$$. Easily in my top twenty any day, T2 is a must see for everyone, action fans, sci fi fans, casual movie fans, my parents even liked it and they were into their 70's when it came out. You just can't do any better than this. Period. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Nice but not much better than the SD DVD It looks and sounds just a bit better than 1991...but not much. No special additional features, not a 'remastering'. But worth the $11 I paid here at Amazon.
T2: No Sophomore Slump This is one of the rare sequels that not only lives up to but surpasses the original. The music and effects have been ramped up a notch, and the pacing is perfect for the story they are telling here. More importantly, however, the interaction between the characters is just perfectly done and the story has some very deep overtones. The idea of taking your destiny into your own hands is portrayed here excellently.
Speaking more of the minutia of the movie, the role reversal done with Arnold Schwarzenegger's terminator character is a wonderful touch. The idea of a villain reformed is great. Plus the fact that this machine spends much of the movie learning what exactly it is to be human. One particular line at the end is delivered very simply but very poignantly: I know now why you cry, but it is something I can never do.
This movie is the rare one that is effectively action-packed, spectacular, poignant, touching and insightful.
The Best DVD Ever Created This ultimate edition of T2 is truly the mega ultimate edition. You have two discs, 1 is the movie and the 2nd is all of the special features, and it takes days to even name all of them, i mean there are three documentaries, 8 teasers and trailers, seperate interviews with the cast and crew, the entire screenplay, 52 chapters of behind the scenes footage, and original storyboard drawings. This is what DVD was made for! The first disc can just make this the ultimate edition. You get three versions of the movie, one is the original theatrical version with no extra scenes, the next is the special edition featuring 16 min. of extra scenes, and the extended special edition featuring 18 min. of extra scenes and an alternate ending. Now you can't just get this version, you need a code for it. Go to the special edition menu and highlight "play special edition" then type in 82997, you might have to press enter in between each number, then the "go to theatrical version" option changes to "play extended special edition". Along with the three versions, the DVD has crystal clear picture and 6.1 DTS Surround Sound!!!!!. On the extended versions of the movie, you won't even notice any cut scenes because they are slipped perfectly in the movie. There are also cast & crew biographies that you can access as well as an audio commentary. Now to the 2nd disc. The three documentaries include: The Making of Terminator 2 Judgement Day where they talk about the making of the film, T2 More than Meets the Eye where they talk about deleted scenes and why they cut them, and the last is The Making of Terminator 2 3-D: Breaking the Screen Berrior where they talk about the making of the 3-D terminator ride. Next is the teasers and trailers, there are 2 theatrical trailers, 1 teaser, the T2 special edition trailer, and 4 japenese trailers. The next is the storyboards, to access these, click on "data hub". There are many,many original drawings, from the arrivals to the end of the movie. Now for the script, you also have to go to "data hub" for this. You get the entire original screenplay of the movieit is awesome to read what Jim Cameron original had in his mind for T2. Next is the 52 chapters, once again you need to go to "data hub". There are seperate chapters for differnt things, i will name you some. pre-production,screenplay,ommited scenes,special effects,makeup,visual effects,marketing campaign,logo customization,post production,casting,props,and post production. There are many,many more but i can't give it all away. The next is the interviews, you need to go to "data hub" for these.
