Hopfully this isn't the last release of T2 August 18, 2008

This is the second of the Terminator films, where a terminator is sent back to the present day to save John Connor from being killed by the T-1000. He's made out of liquid metal, so he can shape himself into sharp objects, and he's a great ventriloquist, copying humans like it went out of style. They want to stop the war before it starts, so they try and destroy Skynet, but will it really change anything in the end?
This is not a very good blu-ray disk, the quality isn't amazing but that is expected with a 16 year old film, but I do expect more remastering work done on the picture. The sound on the other hand is pretty good, 5.1 TruHD master, which is very well balanced. This is much better than the US BD, as it was riddled with compression problems, so that's one thing we can be thankful to Optimum and Canal+.
The extras are non existent: if you're looking for them you'd be better off with the Definitive Edition of T2: as you won't find anything here. There's a screen calibrator, and and audio setup, so you can check your speaker position,m but this isn't really what this blu-ray release was all about. Where are the director's commentaries with James Cameron?
One good thing though is that they've chosen to do the extended director's cut, the Americans have to put up with only the theatrical cut, which to me isn't as good as this, as you get more insight to why things happened, plus it's much more fun.
I wouldn't suggest this to die hard T2 fans, because they might be disappointed; hopefully in a few years time they will remaster this to better output, or even add more extras.
 Great transfer..shame about the extras August 16, 2008

I can't believe the reviews saying this blu-ray is a poor transfer and a little better than standard dvd..absoloute nonsense!! although this doesnt rival a brand new film and is never going to look as sharp as say Transformers or something..this still is a decent blu ray picture..daylight scenes and dark scenes give lots of detail off and this easily the best ive seen this film look. If youve been put off buying an optimum BD coz of the shoddy "escape from new york"..dont worry beacause this is way way better. Even Several HD websites and magazines have giving this good reviews for the pic and sound,so ignore the negative reviwes below. I will agree though that the extras are non-exixtent..but if like me you get bored with all the extras and just want the movie then you cant go wrong with this.
 T2 never looked better! August 14, 2008

No better than DVD?!! Insane! Trust me the picture and sound are way better than any of the DVD releases. I think some people should have gone to specsavers! Seriously, if you have an HD telly and an amplifier capable of reproducing the DTS HD soundtrack, this blu ray should be a no brainer. Stunning picture, stunning sound. And yes, I have seen some horrible looking blu rays (Robocop for one). Really cannot believe the reviews giving this one star. Just madness!
Best HD release of Terminator 2 available in terms of A/V quality. August 14, 2008

Not every film is going to look like Ratatouille in Blu-ray. This is an older film and thus the master is not as pristine as more recent movies. Until an extensive remaster is done, this is the best it will be for T2.
For T2 fans this is currently the ultimate version of T2 available in HD. It has better video quality than the USA HD release as well as the German Kinowelt release. The former suffers from much more compression artifacts while the latter has some aspect ratio issues and also is overprocessed.
This Blu-ray edition is the extended cut of T2 that most fans seem to prefer, unlike the USA edition which is the theatrical version. While it has no extras, the video quality is the best we have seen yet for this movie. The audio quality is also the best we've heard, with a 5.1 DTS-HDMA lossless soundtrack. While the domestic version boasts a "6.1" Dolby Digital EX track and the German version has a 7.1 track, the actual original master elements are only in 5.1 for this title - therefore the domestic/German versions artificially created rear channels that were not in the original movie soundtrack, You can use rear channel processing in your receiver if you want with this version for your rears to be active and get the same effect as the 6.1/7.1 versions - however be aware that this movie was only originally mixed for 5.1 channels and thus the added channels may be artificial in nature.
This Blu-ray does have inferior extra features, however if you are a T2 movie fan it is still the best version of the movie to buy. In the end, I'd much prefer best A/V quality to extras, and that being the case this version is therefore the one to buy. I subtracted a star for lack of extras.
