Verified Purchase:Yes

This was one of my most favorite movies growing up. Even when they announce the special edition years ago back on DVD. And when I saw that they were releasing it for 4K I immediately jumped on the pre-order. So today I started watching it and found out that 4K disk is just the theatrical edition and not the special edition. To compare the difference between the regular and special edition is that the special edition has additional scenes in the movie.

Note: The Blu-ray has 3 different versions of the movie, Theatrical Version, Special Edition Version, Extended Special Edition Version. The time difference between each version is TV - 2h 17m, SEV - 2h 33m, ESEV - 2h 35m.

Excellent steelbook and decent bluray of classic

on August 7, 2015

Posted by: HudsonHawk

Verified Purchase:Yes

There's not much I can say about T2 other than it's arguably the greatest action film of all-time, and certainly on the short list of them. The steelbook is pretty rad, built around the classic image of flames and a T-800 in the center of them. There is NO inner-artwork on this steelbook, which will certainly disappoint some. However on this film, being the villain is the liquid metal T-1000, it doesn't feel as off as it would on another title. You can of course add your own artwork if you're into that sort of thing.

The blu-ray itself? A bit of a mixed bag. Back in the early 2000's T2 was given a 2K telecine scan for the "Extreme Edition" DVD, and that scan has been used for all T2 releases since. So the scan and resolution quality are a bit dated compared to more recent, say, 4K ARRISCAN's, and you can just compare it to the recent The Terminator blu-ray remaster that came out to see the difference. This particular edition also adds on too much DNR (digital noise reduction done in post) to the image for my taste, and the menu is a bit over complicated. That being said the image is certainly serviceable (until Cameron releases the 4K remaster - which is done) and the lossless 5.1 audio is as crisp and crackling as ever. The bonus material is pretty vast, though as I said, can be a little difficult navigating. Overall? For a T2 fan or a fan of steelbooks, this is recommended until a better T2 remaster services.

I could not believe the 4K graphics!

on July 4, 2018

Posted by: Butterypopcorn

from Dublin, Ohio

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is literally a REAL 4K MOVIE in every way!

Gladiator, Patriot, and every other movie that was made in the 90's do not compare or even come close to comparing to the Terminator 2 graphics in 4k HDR.

The transfer of the movie from the big screen, to DVD, then from Blu-ray disc was impeccable. To be honest about the graphics, I would put it up against any action movie that would come out today. There was not any static at all throughout the entire movie and all of the pictures were nice and vibrant! I am Just like most of my viewers for being hesitant for purchasing older movies that have been released in 4k due to the static, which makes the movies look like they are on VHS , or DVD. I feel like I have been burnt a few times before with buying 4K HDR movies and I just don't want to waste my money anymore! THANKFULLY, Terminator 2 in 4k is the exception of being an older movie that looks fantastic.

I will be bragging for a long time about this movies graphics.

T2 30th Anniversary Edition is outstanding!

on February 2, 2022

Posted by: 93Vet

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is by far the best version Steel book to date. Lionsgate did an outstanding job overall. The graphics inside and out are spectacular. My prior Steel book looks boring now compared to this one.
The movie itself still looks great in 4K on the 4K HDR TV and Sony 4K player.
Only the Theatrical version of the movie is on the 4K disc.
The other 2 versions, the Special Edition and the Extended Edition, which is the longest, are on the Blu-ray as well as all the other special features brought over from previous editions.
I believe all of them are on here.
The menus are great also with motion and music.
The only minus I would say is that it is not in Dolby Atmos 7.1.
We have the DTS HD 5.1. Still, if you play it through your audio system or soundbar, which is what I have, it sounds awesome.

I highly recommend this one!

Terrible re coloring

on January 8, 2018

Posted by: Btr0n

from Fairfax

Verified Purchase:Yes

They painted this movie teal and smeared the detail with noise reduction. Watching in HDR is supposed to make the film brighter and higher contrast with inkier blacks. Well everything is just dark and ugly. The sky is a weird dull grey when it’s supposed to be a hot day in the desert and in the original transfer it was bright blue. The actors look like wax figure facsimiles of themselves. It is bad. I returned it and got my money back because the blu Ray I already have looks way better.

One of the Gretest Films now in 4k

on September 15, 2018

Posted by: Wishkid

from Pembroke Pines, FL

Verified Purchase:Yes

I never cancelled my order and waited over a year to finally get this special ediion T2. One of the gretest Film now released in 4K, the image look so good they look fake LOL. This remake is a must have specially this Endo Arm edition only 6k where made. They are signed by James Cameron and also numbered. The Endo Arm is not small at all and it looks good, it is very light as it was made out of plastic, I wish it was in polish metal. The film comes in a UltraHD case with 2 disc, one 4k and the other BD. It really sucks they didn't released the same as the internatioal version wich came with all the versions of T2 in 4 Disc including the 3D version, and it was released on time. As a movie collector this definetly fits well, I also have the 3D version which obtained from Uk and it looks fantastic. If you can get your hand in one of this do it, it may worth something in the near future plus that Endo Arm gets people attention.

Best Terminator Movie

on January 9, 2011

Posted by: mad10jen

from Houston, TX

This is the best in the franchise by far. It is awesome in blu-ray, the sound and picture are superb. The amount of extras will overwhelm you. The storyline and special effects are awesome. It is so much better in blu-ray. I watch this movie numerous times in a year so I don't mind the price. Linda Hamilton plays a great Sarah Connor and a young Edward Furlong plays a good young John Connor. The movie has everything great acting, action, and great story. Nothing is better than the Terminator. Pick up your copy today.
