Amazon.co.uk Review

Arguably the finest movie of its kind, Terminator 2: Judgment Day captured Arnold Schwarzenegger at the very apex of his Hollywood celebrity and James Cameron at the peak of his perfectionist directorial powers. Nothing the star did subsequently measured up to his iconic performance here, spouting legendary catchphrases and wielding weaponry with unparalleled cool; and while the director had an even bigger hit with the bloated and sentimental Titanic, few followers of his career would deny that Cameron's true forte has always been sci-fi action. With an incomparably bigger budget than its 1984 precursor, T2 essentially reworks the original scenario with envelope-stretching special effects and simply more, more, more of everything. Yet, for all its scale, T2 remains at heart a classic sci-fi tale: robots running amok, time travel paradoxes and dystopian future worlds are recurrent genre themes, which are here simply revitalised by Cameron's glorious celebration of the mechanistic. From the V-twin roar of a Harley Fat Boy to the metal-crunching Steel Mill finale, the director's fascination with machines is this movie's strongest motif: it's no coincidence that the character with whom the audience identifies most strongly is a robot. Now that impressive but unengaging CGI effects have come to over-dominate sci-fi movies (think of The Phantom Menace), T2's pivotal blending of extraordinary live-action stuntwork and FX looks more and more like it will never be equalled.

On the DVD: Oh, if only every DVD could be like this. Here is a DVD package worthy of this monumental movie, with so many extra features the viewer will spend hours simply trying to find them all (the animated menus alone are worth watching over and over again.) On the second disc there are three extensive documentaries (all good, all relatively straightforward), but things get more complicated as you burrow down through the menu layers of Cyberdyne Systems into the "Data Hub": the entire screenplay, storyboards, text features, dozens and dozens of video clips, deleted scenes, and thousands of stills.

The movie disc itself will cause even hardened surround-sound enthusiasts to gasp with joy as these explosive soundscapes come alive in Dolby 5.1 or DTS (hear that Harley roar!), while the anamorphic widescreen picture of the original theatrical 2.35:1 ratio is jaw-droppingly impressive. The exhaustive commentary is a patchwork of interviews with various key cast and crew members. The only disappointment here is that, unlike the almost identical Region 1 version, this Region 2 package does not include the DVD-ROM features nor the option to play the original theatrical release and the hidden "Ultimate Edition"--the only version here is the Director's Cut Special Edition, although the few extra scenes that make up the "Ultimate" edit can still be found in the "Data Core" section of the second disc. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars Works on PAL (UK) PS3, 27 Jul 2007
By Jonathan Pymm "ginger-beer" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Terminator 2: Judgment Day [Blu-ray] [1991] [US Import] (Blu-ray)
Just to confirm as stated in the other review that this works fine on the UK Playstation 3. Not as high quality as the best Blu Rays, this is nevertheless the best quality transfer of T2 currently available.

Note that the original 'Terminator' works fine on PS3 also. The box for T2 says "Region 1" whereas the box for Terminator says "Region A" but neither is accurate; both play without problems.

Don't miss out on two great films!

5.0 out of 5 stars The BIGGEST DVD to date, 29 Oct 2001
Forget the M.I.B. Special Edition DVD, forget the Fightclub DVD, Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition beats them both. It's bound for the number 1 DVD slot. It just has SO many features. From the cool metallic box it comes in to the breathtaking 3D menu systems, Terminator 2 has it all. Everything you could possibly want from a DVD. Deleted scenes, dozens of interviews, the ENTIRE script, over 700 storyboards, trailers and teasers, and MUCH more. I still have trouble finding my way around, because both DVD's are just CRAMMED with so many special features!

But let's not forget the film itself. Terminator 2 is a fantastic movie. And the special Director's Cut has a handful of extra scenes which really make the film that bit more special. These are no boring extra scenes; in fact many contain unseen special effects, and even help explain the film more. How did John know which was the T1000 and which was his real mum at the end of the film? This explains it all. So go out, and buy it now... it is a BARGAIN. I bought it the second I saw it, and I wasn't disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best action epic ever made!, 23 Aug 2002
By Liam McIntyre (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terminator 2 - Judgment Day [VHS] [1991] (VHS Tape)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day does most everything it's predecessor did and more, while being on a far grander, more spectacular scale. The two main characters from 1984's smash hit return alongside the well-chosen actor (Edward Furlong) fulfilling the first movie's unseen hero John Connor. T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenneger) and Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) do a fantastic job continuing the story of the badly-ended Terminator.

After starting everything up again (robots taking over the world, and all that), things truly take off from the minute the T-800 Terminator confronts the fearing Sarah Connor outside an elevator. Soon it's a race against time to escape the terrifying T-1000 Terminator, and destroy the technology that will become Skynet, the central computer of the robot network set to eliminate mankind.

All three central characters lives develop well during the movie, with Sarah Connor turning from fearing innocent to cold-blooded killer, and Arnold Schwarzenneger becoming a cyborg with a good heart.

Visually, the film betters even some of the latest action movies to date, and excels the first film's lacking special effects. The T-1000 Terminator's liquid metal stance is shown incredibly through computers, while robot movements seem very real.

Overall, T2: Judgment Day is a movie that has to be seen to be believed...
