The Epitome of Action Films
We are all too familiar with the story of this movie, so I will spare you the details. "The Terminator" was a sleeper sci-fi hit that was a rarity in its genre. Movie-goers were beginning to see sci-fi films that rose above others in the genre and even other genres. "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Star Wars", and, the film that started...

Cheezy follow up to a dark classic
They went into hyper drove with the sequel to the classic Terminator movie. Big effects, big story, big set pieces, big budget, big cheeze. This film loses the serious feel that made the first film so good. On its own it plays as a fun enough action flick. But the kids does ruin the film. Jason Patrick is excellent though, I must give him props.

The Epitome of Action Films, Juil 13 2004
We are all too familiar with the story of this movie, so I will spare you the details. "The Terminator" was a sleeper sci-fi hit that was a rarity in its genre. Movie-goers were beginning to see sci-fi films that rose above others in the genre and even other genres. "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Star Wars", and, the film that started the revolution, "2001: A Space Odyessy". What made "Terminator" so different was not just another bleak view of the future, but a tense, edgy thriller with some damn fine writing. But while it took an effort to make films like those, it took a greater one to make a sequel. "Aliens", "The Empire Strikes Back", and very few others accomplished this task successfully. As for "T2", unless you've been living under a rock, we all know how well it did. This is definitely the best of the series (in my opinion at least) and definitely one of the best action movies to grace the face of our planet. This is the movie that also started the trend of making action movies with ridiculously huge budgets and paying action stars ridiculously huge salaries. But T2 delivers, with a great story, stunning visuals, and Schwarzenegger in his prime. Plus who can forget Brad Fiedel's synthetic score which has been parodied numerous times?
Why another DVD though? This film has been put on DVD almost as many times as "Independence Day". Special features are somewhat reserved here, so what justifies another release? DVD producer Van Ling answers the question in a quaint little insert about how new technology has developed since the last T2 transfer. They can now present T2 the way it should be, digitally mastered from a 1080p, 24sf digital telecline transfer for "superior video and audio quality". This release of T2 is aimed toward the home theater crowd. All that confusing talk means that the picture is presented with more clarity.
And the sound is just awesome. The DTS track has been dropped from the "Ultimate Edition" in exchange for a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX track and a Dolby headphone track. If you have the technology, try to watch a DVD with a DTS track whenever possible. In the case of this DVD, there's only the Dolby 5.1 EX track. But the track on this "Extreme DVD" defies both the Dolby and DTS tracks from the "Ultimate Edition". It takes full advantage of a dimensional sound field.
The goodies here are minimal; a SFX documentary, a behind the scenes montage, and a few DVD-ROM goodies that I didn't bother to try. But there is the original version of the film available to Windows Media Player 9 users on the second disc. You can watch it on the first disc as well, it's disguised as an easter egg. On the main menu of Disc 1, hit the right button five times while highlighting "Play Extended Version". There's also an enhanced mode with behind the scnes and there's a spankin new commentary by James Cameron himself.
But the question remains; is this DVD worth buying? It really boils down to what your reasons are for buying this new DVD. If you don't own the film, yes. If you're troubled by the mediocre video quality of either of the first two releases, then yes. If you want Cameron's commentary and other new supplements, yes. And if you want to playback T2 in HD on your PC (and even if you find that your computer equipment is currently insufficient for HD playback), yes. But if you want extensive behind the scenes, you might want to stick with your "Ultimate Edition". This "Extreme Edition" delivers though, despite falling short in the behind the scenes section.

T2: Ultimate Edition, Oct. 14 2005
This is by far the most packed DVD I've ever bought.
3 versions of the film(one which must be unlocked via number code), and hundreds of features on a dual sided DVD disc. If you're thinking about getting the extreme edition, don't. The so called better picture quality is upped contrast. It doesn't contain all the special features here, and contains only two versions of the film. If you want the best copy of T2 you can get, get this, you'll be happy.

one of the if not the best sequel ever!, Juil 19 2004
in this sequel to the awesome original,arnold is a good guy sent back to protect john conner.another newer model of terminater comes after them.this t-1000 is made from quasi-liquid metal.it can be solid or liquid as needed.johns mom sarah decides to go and waste the dude who found the original terminaters hand and was largely responsible for the eventual takeover by the machines.this is a bit much for smaller kids.the action is incredible in this one.the first part was a indt film.this one cost 80 million dollars and made 78 million in its first weekend.it is the best of the 3 id say.if you are squeamish,you might want to go see bambi instead.belive it or not,its even emotional in a spot or 2.sara isnt a tenny bopper in this one but a dykey rambo bitch.her shrink isnt around long,but while he is,he is very obnoxious.of course he lived.it seems the guy in any movie who really needs killed,never gets it.sara deserved an award for this one.she did an awesome job playing a psycho with a lot on her mind.the message is no fate but what we make.in part 3 youll see that just isnt true,but i alredy knew that.intensity galore!sara plays a very intense character.all the action,the nukes,it freakin rocks!this is arnolds best!the special effects kick ass too.they made a 3rd.im hoping for a 4th also.but since it takes 10 years for another sequel,id better not hold my breath.and,by the way,who cares if arnolds to old.cant they find another musclehead to play some sort of new terminater?its do-able.we know it.hollywood knows it.so get off your lazy asses and make it already.i belive its about time for the big showdown between machine and man.

awesome, Juil 6 2004
Par Un client
okay. I just saw this movie and its the best movie ever made and james cameron is the best director ever.Now lately I keep reading all this comotion between the extreme version and the ultimate version. Well i'd pick the extreme. The reason I didnt pick the ultimate is because even though it has great quality its probley nothing close to the picture and sound on the extreme version. I also didnt pick it because its to hard to find. I picked extreme for many reasons. Lets start with the picture and sound its awesome nothing else to say. It also has an also metal case that I heard ruins the dvd inside it but still its awesome. Now as a previous reviewer said extreme dosent have the special extended edition well I dont really care {no offence to the previous reviewer who wrote that} because it only has 2 minutes of more footage {litterly} I think the scene of the t-1000 searching johns room is cool and I wouldent mind that in the movie but the special extended edition ruins the ending with a new "happy ending". Be warned its ruins the ending to the best movie ever. Even though the origian ending on the special edition is good enough. People say that the new happy ending stops a sequel. But see I dont really want to see t3 because it should have ended with t2. and finally yes i'll admit ultimate has more bonus footage extreme has a very godd amount of features as well and extreme is for the great price (...). I have nothing else to say.

I AM NOT A PHILISTINE, Juil 4 2004
Before this film, could you have ever imagined what a robot was? How it operated? No! This is the great instigator of an idea that sparked the imagination of a young boy named Phillip. You see, before Terminator, nobody really knew what a robot was!! Terminator changed that. Everybody had this embedded idea that a robot would be built with a consciousness, he would come to learn the ethical standards that the human race had over time learnt themselves. But this film epitomises what a robet really would be: a heartless, emotionless, cold, and incapable of understanding what humans know. It seems inevitable therefore, that with the natual instinct of man to conquer, he should create a machine to do it for him. And there you go, the creators of this film aren't really philistines (as many people have acussed them of)! They're just making the very legitimate message that if we don't take care then the robots will kill us.

Extra Scenes Missing in Extreme DVD, Jui 29 2004
Par Un client
Hello, I currently own both Ultimate and Extreme editions. The main differences when comparing both films are already explained here in the amazon Editorial Review. One difference that is not talked about is the fact that the Extreme edition lacks the Special "Extended" Version option. The Ultimate edition has the theatrical version, the special edition version and the special edition extended version as options to choose from. The Extreme edition only has the special edition and the theatrical version options to choose from. The scenes when the T1000 scans the room with his hands and the alternate future ending are not implemented directy onto the film in the Extreme Edition(a feature of the special extended version from the Ultimate edition). That's my only complaint of the Extreme Edition, but when comparing both films, I believe that the Extreme edition is better than the Ultimate Edition due to it's superior scene quality as well as everything else mentioned in the editorial reviews.

One of the greatest films ever made in perfect quality., Jui 27 2004
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is quite simply one of the best movies ever made. It's director James Cameron at his apex, both in terms of story-telling and in terms of production quality, and with Artisan Entertainment's Extreme Edition DVD, it's T2 in its finest form.First, the film. As the sequel to Cameron's The Terminator, a vastly entertaining science fiction / action film, T2: Judgement Day is an overwhelming success. One of the few sequels that betters its predecessor in every way, T2 is a masterpiece of modern action film-making. Cameron was extremely ambitious with this feature, and it pays off. The rock-solid story of The Terminator is taken to all new heights of complexity and even begins to step into some incredibly deep philosophical thought for an action film (Are we truly doomed as a species, or can we save ourselves? What does it mean to be human?), and the result is a remarkably touching experience. The special effects broke into new ground in 1991, and still remain convincing and impressive even today. Brad Fiedel's gorgeous themes are given the full orchestral treatment, a wonderful improvement when compared to the pseudo-electronic / noir-esque 1980s scoring of the original film; his themes just deserve the power and depth of the orchestra, and they shine in this film. The actor's all turn in fine performances (especially Joe Morton and Linda Hamilton), even if Edward Furlong's John Connor sounds somewhat whiny at times. Cameron's vision of both the post-Apocalyptic future and the hanging-in-the-blance present is uncompromising, and Cameron balances out his fantastic action pieces with strong character development, even for Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-101 character, and the "Governator" is excellent in his most memorable role. I could go on, but T2 is a movie that deserves to be experienced, not told about. It's simply THAT good. And with this DVD, one truly does experience it. While the Ultimate Edition has more special features, this version has an absolutely razor-sharp picture, sound, and features the extended, 152 minute version of the film, a full 16 minutes longer than the original version. The additional scenes are worth it, and flesh out characters (particularly Sarah Connor) and story information. This DVD also features commentary from Cameron and his co-writer, which die-hard Terminator fans will thoroughly enjoy. In conclusion, Terminator 2: Judgement Day is without a doubt the greatest action movie to date, and one of the finest films ever made in any genre. It upped the ante in every regard, and sadly, still remains unsurpassed in most. There are few films I can whole-heartedly recommend that every person see. T2 is at the top of the list, and with DVD, you get to see the whole picture. And it's definitely worth it. Polished visuals, action, story, acting, music, T2 is as unstoppable as the futuristic machines it features.

It doesn't get old. As good as in 1991., Jui 18 2004
Par Un client
The King Of The World made, along his career, films that go from good to excellent. T2 is an excellent movie, I consider it to be even better than its prequel. And it is a great achievement, executed by The King, as we know that most sequels tend to be much worse than their originals.
The King Of The World is a very earnest and skilled film maker, who always pays great attention to detail and who likes to portray something new on screen everytime he does a new movie, or at list new in the way that it is made.
With The Abyss -a very good movie- The King of the World had pushed the envelope in the special effects department in cinema, and with T2 he made the best use possible of this new technology he had in his hands.
Bravo King of the World!
