Product ReviewsT2 - The Extreme DVD Edition (DVD, 2000, DVD-18 Dual Sided - Dual Layered)

The most ultimately awesome dvd ever!

Well I am not going to review the movie because you probably already know how great it is. Instead I will just speak for this edition of the movie- The Ultimate Edition DVD. Whether you get the dual disc set or the dual sided single disc set makes no difference since the same content is on each pressing.

Ok now for the technical stuff. This is the best edition of the movie to own for several reasons:

1.) DTS! Forget Dolby Digital, there is a night and day difference when you watch a movie in DTS and this is a fine example of what a film should sound like. DTS makes much better use of the center and surround speakers. The Dolby version just drowns them all together. Also the Extreme edition does not have the DTS track, only the Ultimate.
2.) You get all three versions of the film on one disc! Theatrical, Special and the Extended Special version. The third version was cut from the Extreme edition (probably due to inconsistency with T3 being released that same summer) and the Theatrical can only be seen in HDTV via a super fast computer on the Extreme edition. With the Ultimate edition you get it all without the need of fancy super expensive computers and a small screen.
3.) Extras! There are so many extras on the second disc I can almost promise that if you were sick, you could sit in front of your TV and by the time you finish watching all the bonus material that you will be over your cold/flu/fever lol. Those of you with "The Abyss" know what I'm talking about.
4.) Last but not least is the neat metal case cover this Ultimate ed comes in. It is aluminum; I repeat aluminum not tin like the Extreme edition's (which had a tendency to rip the case's spine and artwork). Aluminum is more expensive than paper so granted they only made the first production with the aluminum, but they can still be found. I would be perfectly happy with the paper case cover, after all you are mainly concerned about the movie right- not the case cover lol.

So there you have it, several reasons why the Ultimate edition is the best version of the movie to have on DVD. To play the Extended Special version, you will need to enter a code for the Easter egg to work. This is very easy, just doing a search for Easter eggs and you will get many pages on how to do this.Read full review...

TERMINATOR

I find the real highlight of this disk (or disks) to be the movie itself, I mean WOW!!! You get three, I repeat, three, versions of the movie. One is the original theatrical version, featuring no cut out scenes (the worst), the special edition, featuring 16 minutes of additional footage (second best) and the Extended Special Edition that you need a code for (the best) which features 18 minutes of additional footage, as well as an alternate ending. Here, now, I will give you a step-by-step description of how to get this extended special edition. I'm sure most of you people reading this know how to already, but this is for those who didn't know this version existed, or don't know how to get it. What you do is, you go to the features menu. It'll say "Theatrical Version" and "Special Edition". Click on "Special Edition". Then, you highlight "Play Special Edition" and type in (you may have to type ENTER in-between each number) EIGHT TWO NINE NINE SEVEN (8 2 9 9 7) and then, the "Go To Theatrical Version" option changes to "Play Extended Special Edition". This is the definitive version of the movie. I believe that every single little, tiny scene that they cut out is in this versionRead full review...

Still the best terminator film so far!!

I have always been a fan of the terminator films and terminator 2 is I think the first movie I ever saw on the big screen at the theater! T2 is my favorite of all of the movies although the other three films are great, this one is in my opinion the best so far!! and with this dvd you can watch the special edition of the movie and see scenes that are edited out of the theatrical version!! You can also view hundreds of storyboards, the script, and many more behind the scenes footage!! The special effects still stand high in this film in todays standards even though the film was released in 1991, the effects look like the effects you see in a action film released today! T2 won many awards and is well worth the money!! So go ahead and buy this dvd today!! You wont regret it!!Read full review...

BANG, POW, BAM!!! Oh yeah and killer robots too.

This is a really cool movie, if you liked the first one, you will love this one. One of the only sequals I ever saw in my 40 years of life that actually was as good if not better than the first. Killer robots that do not die, and lots and lots of bullets, explosions, super crazy car chases where they destroy tons of stuff. This movie rocks!! I only like about one movie out of thirty that I watch, so if I say it was good, and I actually took the time to sit and write this, then you know it was good!!! But caution, stay away from part three. That one stinks.Read full review...

Terminator DVD

This is an excellent action adventure movie with Arnold up against a terminator who, in the true T-Tradition, just doesn't know how to quit........it just "keeps coming back"with bad news...........like the mother in law from hell that you don't want to see! I just wish I could "get one of those" for Christmas and program it for some of the baddies in our world!! Regardless, I think anyone who purchases this DVD will find it very entertaining with no regrets. and for those of you who are a little "squeamish", relieve yourself before watching and don't munch the popcorn too quick ....because band-aids don't stick too well on the inside of the mouthRead full review...
