T2 The Extreme DVD Edition (DVD, 2000, DVD-18 (Dual Sided - Dual Layered))

Well I am not going to review the movie because you probably already know how great it is. Instead I will just speak for this edition of the movie- The Ultimate Edition DVD. Whether you get the dual disc set or the dual sided single disc set makes no difference since the same content is on each pressing.

Ok now for the technical stuff. This is the best edition of the movie to own for several reasons:

1.) DTS! Forget Dolby Digital, there is a night and day difference when you watch a movie in DTS and this is a fine example of what a film should sound like. DTS makes much better use of the center and surround speakers. The Dolby version just drowns them all together. Also the Extreme edition does not have the DTS track, only the Ultimate.
2.) You get all three versions of the film on one disc! Theatrical, Special and the Extended Special version. The third version was cut from the Extreme edition (probably due to inconsistency with T3 being released that same summer) and the Theatrical can only be seen in HDTV via a super fast computer on the Extreme edition. With the Ultimate edition you get it all without the need of fancy super expensive computers and a small screen.
3.) Extras! There are so many extras on the second disc I can almost promise that if you were sick, you could sit in front of your TV and by the time you finish watching all the bonus material that you will be over your cold/flu/fever lol. Those of you with "The Abyss" know what I'm talking about.
4.) Last but not least is the neat metal case cover this Ultimate ed comes in. It is aluminum; I repeat aluminum not tin like the Extreme edition's (which had a tendency to rip the case's spine and artwork). Aluminum is more expensive than paper so granted they only made the first production with the aluminum, but they can still be found. I would be perfectly happy with the paper case cover, after all you are mainly concerned about the movie right- not the case cover lol.

So there you have it, several reasons why the Ultimate edition is the best version of the movie to have on DVD. To play the Extended Special version, you will need to enter a code for the Easter egg to work. This is very easy, just doing a search for Easter eggs and you will get many pages on how to do this.

James Cameron is detail oriented, full of "Sci-fi" ideology and funny.
Arnold's acting is..dry though perfect for a "humanoid" style personality.
A must own, for a suitable video library.

This is a really cool movie, if you liked the first one, you will love this one. One of the only sequals I ever saw in my 40 years of life that actually was as good if not better than the first. Killer robots that do not die, and lots and lots of bullets, explosions, super crazy car chases where they destroy tons of stuff. This movie rocks!! I only like about one movie out of thirty that I watch, so if I say it was good, and I actually took the time to sit and write this, then you know it was good!!! But caution, stay away from part three. That one stinks.

this is the ultimate dvd edtion of the hit series TERMINATOR, it is T2 AND THIS EDITION HAS ALL THE GOODIES A MOVIE LOVER WOULD WANT, and much more

this has both versions of the film, AND A HIDDEN THIRD VERSION AS WELL, if you put in the right code for it though

and has loads of extra features as well as CRISP CLEAN VIDEO AND SOUND QUALITY

this is a must buy for any terminator fan, THOUGH THIS SERIES OF DVDS IS OUT OF PRINT NOW, there are some still floating out here on ebay and in other sites

10/10

its perfect, I'LL BE BACK..................

I have always been a fan of the terminator films and terminator 2 is I think the first movie I ever saw on the big screen at the theater! T2 is my favorite of all of the movies although the other three films are great, this one is in my opinion the best so far!! and with this dvd you can watch the special edition of the movie and see scenes that are edited out of the theatrical version!! You can also view hundreds of storyboards, the script, and many more behind the scenes footage!! The special effects still stand high in this film in todays standards even though the film was released in 1991, the effects look like the effects you see in a action film released today! T2 won many awards and is well worth the money!! So go ahead and buy this dvd today!! You wont regret it!!

this vendor represented the product farly and accuratly. It was shipped very fast. The condition was mint. and the price was absoluty great!!!

Terminator 2 is one of the classic movies that will live on to the next generation. It's a must see movie. T2 features ground breaking special effects along with a power character-driven story. Thank you, James Cameron!

This special DVD Edition is fantastic. It has both theatrical and special edition features along with a whole heap of other goodies on the disc.
If you are looking to buy Terminator 2 on eBay, look no further . This Edition is by far the best, even if you have to dish out a little extra, it is worth it. I luckily purchased it at a very reasonable price for such an awesome movie.
5/5 for the movie and 5/5 for the boxset.

This is still considered by most to be the best of the Terminator series.
The Ultimate DVD edition includes 2 complete versions of the film: Theatrical and Special Edition. Extensive bios, filmographies, and the screenplay with 700+ storyboards are also included. An informative T2 DVD supplement described in the liner notes as a "film school on a disc", is also featured on this magnificent double sided DVD. Highly recommended for any sci-fi collector.

This Dvd ame to me in souch great conditions, It was "new" and I Bought it in souc a cheap price. It was a incredible deal

I recently saw this at a friends house and before watching it was not a big terminator fan. I absolutely loved it and plan on getting the others to add to my dvd collection.

I find the real highlight of this disk (or disks) to be the movie itself, I mean WOW!!! You get three, I repeat, three, versions of the movie. One is the original theatrical version, featuring no cut out scenes (the worst), the special edition, featuring 16 minutes of additional footage (second best) and the Extended Special Edition that you need a code for (the best) which features 18 minutes of additional footage, as well as an alternate ending. Here, now, I will give you a step-by-step description of how to get this extended special edition. I'm sure most of you people reading this know how to already, but this is for those who didn't know this version existed, or don't know how to get it. What you do is, you go to the features menu. It'll say "Theatrical Version" and "Special Edition". Click on "Special Edition". Then, you highlight "Play Special Edition" and type in (you may have to type ENTER in-between each number) EIGHT TWO NINE NINE SEVEN (8 2 9 9 7) and then, the "Go To Theatrical Version" option changes to "Play Extended Special Edition". This is the definitive version of the movie. I believe that every single little, tiny scene that they cut out is in this version

In this version we can see a lot more as it can be to fight against the machines.
It's too long for movie screens but alone at home it'a very great entertainment.

I am beyond happy about my order since I did miss when it was first released (didn't have a full time job back then) and now that I got it I am very pleased! I love the fact of having the original release, plus the extened cut!

I love this movie and I collect them. The price and the quality of this item are excellent. Thank you.

got it in timely manner, condition were good, got what expected, would buy again from this seller, did not have any complain

What i like the most was the communication between seller and buyer. The item was delayed and immediately the seller send an E-mail letting me know the reasons.
