Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com essential video

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. --Jeff Shannon

Not much better than the original DVD - Reviewed on 2008-09-07

This Blu-Ray disk is unimpressive. The output from my PS3 was similar to that produced by the old DVD that I have of the same movie. There was some improvement in the sound quality, but not significantly. The Blu-Ray disk includes no interesting new features.

If you already own Terminator 2 on DVD, I would not bother purchasing this version.
Still Amazing - Reviewed on 2008-08-23

Terminator 2 is one of the most memorable movies ever made. You can go years without watching this, but remember almost every scene when you finally see it again. This is real close to being a masterpiece, and it probably is. The special effects for the movie are still amazing even by today's standards. To me, the most memorable scene is when Sarah has the vision of the city being blown away, only leave skeletons in a fiery inferno. It is a really scary and somewhat realistic scene of what could happen to us if we aren't careful in the future. Not that machines will cause our demise, but we ourselves will. That is the message of the movie, that violence is "in our nature".

The story is incredible. The Terminator becomes the dad that John never had and you really feel it while watching. The acting is also great and the end of the movie is a real tear jerker. This is a have-to-see movie if you haven't seen it already. This movie is so big, it's weird if you haven't seen it yet. You've been missing out. For those who have seen it, this is the movie to get and you will love it as much as you always have.

The Ultimate Edition DVD is the choice to get and watching the Special Edition of the movie is a must because it has new scenes that only add to the already great story. Pick this up :)

Terminator 2 - Judgment Day is the ultimate sequel ever! Sequels always tend to let me down but not this one in any shape or form. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Edward Furlong bring so much energy and fire to this film. James Cameron is a brilliant writer/director, he pulls out all the stops. I highly recommend this classic, you'll watch it over and over again, enjoy!

This is how to make a follow up. T2 pushes the envelope at every level and thrills all over the place. The sfx are incredible - worth every penny of the $100m+ budget.

A brilliant action movie. Everyone should own it.
