Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

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 Amazon.com

 Great Transfer, Great package!
What a great film to get at such a low price. There was a real fast delivery. This Extreme edition of T2 consists of
disc 1 featuring extended edition of the film in obviously different better transfer than on ultimate edition and disc 2
featuring two short documentaries and T2 High definition which is not playable outside US and Canada. I'm from Europe
and cannot obtain some kind of a license for playback of the HD portion. This extreme edition is worth having because of the
sharper image of the extended edition of T2, but those fans who seek documentaries and interviews better look for Ultimate edition.
In my opinion a true Terminator fan must own both editions. Also the packaging of this edition is much better than of
the ultimate but it's a shame that there's no booklet. I guess you get what you pay for, but still this is a must-have.

 Excellent Copy of Excellent Movie
Terminator 2 is arguably Schwarzenegger's most famous role, and the plot by now is fairly well known. In the original Terminator, Schwarzenegger had been sent back to kill Sarah Connor before she could give birth to her son, John Connor, who would destory SkyNet in the future. The plan goes awry when Kyle Reese not only sucessfully protects Sarah, but fathers John. In Terminator 2, SkyNet tries again, this time with Schwarzenegger's Terminator character playing the role of protector.

Considering that this film was made in the early 90's, I was astounded by the quality of the transfer. Do note that this does not have any of the deleted scenes or such from the (many) DVD versions -- but nevertheless, the image and audio quality was superb, and an excellent polish to a great film.

 WHO CAST THE KID?!
A good movie overall. Keeps the action going from T1. But something that has always bugged me is who cast the kid? This kid is supposed to grow up to defeat the Terminators?! With what? His handbag? Did they have to pick someone so... "happy"? I think that poor casting decision really took away from the movie and the trilogy. There are a million kids who could have played that part. Why did they cast him and give him such a sissy haircut? And before anyone jumps down my throat, I'll remind you that this is America. I don't have to be politically correct. I'll bet most people who watch the movie would agree with my observation that this casting decision was a poor one. April 20, 2008

 Misleading reviews.
I do not know why the reviews stating that this is the ultimate edition are listed here. This is simply the short version of the movie slapped onto a blu-ray disk. It does look very good, but, if I had known that none of the extended scenes were on this disk, not to mention that the special features are slim at best, I would have waited for a version that actually had the features that make Blu-Ray worth having.
