Looks VERY NICE in 4k. What sets this edition apparent from all the other? well, this version was initially for the latest 3d theater conversion, so the color filter is noticeably different in some scenes. Also, in previous editions, scenes w/ Arnold on the motorcyle/various stunts, it can been seen as his stunt double. In this new version, the noticeable double is digitally replaced/ altered to look more like Arnold. Go online and google side by sides... for someone that's never seen T@, this won't bug them and they may not even notice. Long time fans that grew up on repeat viewings will spot these changes right away.

Great film but poor 4k

on April 6, 2020

Posted by: Jakeinlivincolor

Verified Purchase:Yes

Everything that has been said about T2 has been said, especially nearly 30 years of hindsight. I can't add anything more about the story and it's themes, it's top notch technical attributes, amongst everything else. But I can add my 2 cents about the disc(s) in question.

James Cameron had wanted to release a 3D version in theatres in honor of the film's 25th anniversary, and, of course, he is a huge proponent of 3D, having directed Avatar to great critical and commercial fame and a resurgence of 3D and the re-release of Titanic in 3D in 2012 for it's 15th anniversary, its a no-brainer he'd go back to his best film and give it a 4k and 3d remaster. Unfortunately, the release was delayed by a full year and also wasn't marketed enough or released in enough theaters to recoup costs here in the states. But, luckily enough, Lionsgate managed to release a 4k release here (sad the 3D release wasn't released here in the states, but can be had from Europe for those with region-free players or spend about $40 to nab a region A release from Korea) with the brand new 4k remaster and some other CGI tinkering to fix some errors in the film.

Unfortunately, what worked for the 3D version outright bombs here in 4k. The film is scrubbed virtually clean of film grain and it adds a waxy look to everything in the film, as if it was shot on digital gear. There is some fine details not noticed on BluRay or DVD, but this is a fairly sad picture, reminiscent of the first 2 BluRays from 2006 and 2009, respectively (for my opinion, the 2015 BluRay remains the best version to date, with accurate grain, details, and colors). Colors also have been tweaked to a noticeable degree, but it's still not as bad as the DNR (DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION).

The audio though? The DTS-X track is a killer soundtrack, with enough punch to go through brick wall with the strength of an atom bomb. Discrete, sharp and loud surround support, with enough satisfaction in the low-end to cause a foundation to crumble. It's good stuff

Extras are not found on the 4k disc itself (Which Lionsgate has corrected since then, with nearly every 4k disc having most or all the extras on the UHD, which is something most studios still don't do!) but the included BluRay (the dreaded Skynet Edition from 2009) contains the 3 cuts of the film, commentaries, featurettes, and more on the disc. It's good stuff, but nothing new added since 2003(!) and it's a huge disappointment that they couldn't scrounge a retrospective from cast and crew.

All in all, this is a poor release, with poor picture and extras, with the only plus being the terrific audio soundtrack on the 4k disc (the 5.1 DTS-HD track on the BluRay is also quite good, but the added height channels make it amazing) and the old extras included on the aging BluRay. Only get on sale for less than $10. It's that bad.

Skynet is back…

Verified Purchase:Yes

Very cool artwork. The picture is way better than my Blu Ray Steelbook. It even has the German audio in 7.1. Arnies English voice is a Desaster..haha..anyhow, one negative part is, that the version does not contain the extended and just the theatrical version :(…
However, it’s one of the best Action movie ever made!

Lionsgate Killed It With This Steelbook

on December 26, 2021

Posted by: Susie85

Verified Purchase:Yes

I love my 4K Steelbook, no scratches, no dents! The steelbook is in excellent condition and just what I wanted! I bought this steelbook just for the steelbook!! I mean it is gorgeous and has some of the best artwork on a Best Buy steelbook to date!! The only downside is that the transfer is the same as the horrible original 4K transfer and it is not the extended version! That being said I absolutely love this steelbook!!!

T-2 On Blu-Ray

on February 29, 2008

Posted by: Blindspot

from Hagerstown, MD

When my girlfriend got me this for Christmas, the first thing that went through my head was 'alright- T2 on Bluray!' After less than an hour into the movie though, my feelings had changed. Don't get me wrong- this is still one of the most awesome movies of all time, but after seeing the extended edition on DVD, I was disappointed to see all those deleted scenes left out of the movie all over again! I really thought that would at least be an option, given the capacity Bluray disks, but I guess not! I mean, when you pick up new copies of Aliens, its still got that extra 27 min of footage in there- its just a staple anymore! Why they would choose to do this to T2's Bluray debut is beyond me!? Left out footage aside, I can agree that while this may be an older movie, there was still some left to be desired on the conversion to high-def. I won't say it looks as bad as DVD, but it certainly doesn't look as good as, say CRANK or something more recent. Even if you don't already have a copy of Terminator 2, I'd say go ahead and wait for the extended version- it will be money better spent!

What's great about it: Awesome Movie That Still Gives Me Chills

What's not so great: Where's All The Extra Scenes?

BREAKTHROUGH

on May 27, 2009

Posted by: gamefreak4ever

from Hurst, TX

"T2" was one of the breakthrough fiilms of its time. The roles being reversed of Arnold. Instead of him killing he's trying to say lives. Also the cool technology they used with the robot. Man plus all the killing, action and suspense made it really good.

What's great about it: THE ROBOTS

Epic enhancement for an Epic Film!

on July 18, 2016

Posted by: TheMovieLover24Seven

Verified Purchase:Yes

Terminator 2: Judgement Day is my favorite film of all time. I don't have anything against the film whatsoever. First, we were brought the Ultimate Edition which added a few parts to the film and extended the story. Those scenes should've been left in the movie because every deleted scene makes sense! Then the Extreme DVD was brought in, giving us the Ultimate Edition in a better audio and visual quality. Then came in this Blu-Ray edition steelbook that catched my eye. This is by far my second favorite edition the first being the Extreme DVD. I absolutely adore the quality of this Blu-Ray edition. The only complaint is the sound. Some of the sounds don't bump my subwoofers as hard like the Ultimate or Extreme editions. When a T-800 smashes a skull, it doesn't bump hard. But other than that you will be able to see and hear everything clearly with this edition. This is a perfect item for collector's. I have 14 copies of this film and I will be buying another copy soon.
