Terminator 2: Judgment Day Endoarm Collectors Edition 4K Ultra HD [Blu-ray + Digital HD] [4K UHD]

I can watch this movie 100 times over and never get tired of it. James Cameron best terminator. Love the cast and special effects. I'm happy to have purchase in 4k. Thank you for offering item.

It looks like it lumps all the Terminator 2 reviews together, so just to specify: This review is for the 3D bluray version that is available - It's hard to tell, but that actually is a Japanese bluray, even though everything on the front is English. But, if you have the right stuff, it doesn't matter that it's a Japanese bluray as it runs just fine with what I describe below. Just figured I'd clarify that, so on with the review...The movie speaks for itself with how awesome it is - I wouldn't be saying anything that hasn't already been said regardless of how much I praised the movie itself. It's one of the best movies ever made, plain-and-simple. What I wanted to focus on is reassuring anyone looking to watch this in the US that it does work just fine watching it through a PS4 with a PSVR1.So, to start: Even if you have a PSVR1, you still need to run that through a PS4 in order to watch this, or any 3D movie for that matter - A PS5 will not work. Why that is is because the PS4 is recognized as a '3D bluray player' while the PS5 is not - Due to this, 3D movies will not even run on a PS5 (it will simply come up with a message saying it isn't a 3D bluray player). This is an extremely unnecessary and stupid oversight on Sony's part, but it falls into the category of 'It is what it is', and it's best to know about these limitations so you don't order this and not be able to enjoy it. Also: The PSVR2 does not run 3D movies at all, probably largely because PSVR2s can only function with a PS5 which Sony didn't bother making compatible.If you still have a PS4 and PSVR1 from the US, this will run just fine. The default audio is the audio from the original movie (it's in English). Japanese subtitles are turned on by default, but it is as simple as pressing a button once the movie is playing to bring up the menu that's built into the PS4 (I believe you press square to bring it up) and you can disable the subtitles from there - After that, you're watching the exact same 3D movie that you could've (and may have) seen in 2017 in theaters in the US. And, again: It's easier to disable the subtitles once the movie is playing with the PS4 menu since all the bluray menus are in Japanese, but the PS4 menu will be in English. So, in short: You don't need to know any Japanese in order to figure this out - It's pretty obvious what to select to make the movie play, then you can disable the subtitles through an English menu.As for the 3D itself, it is extremely impressive and it's very trippy being able to see such an old movie in a new way. If you have a PS4, PSVR1, and the patience to sit down and watch a movie with a VR headset on, I'd highly recommend getting this. But, the main purpose of this review was to reassure those with a US PS4 and PSVR1 that it will run just as it did in theaters in 2017. Pretty awesome since they did such a limited run of the 3D blurays in the US that this movie is nearly impossible to find, and usually very expensive when you can find it.So, if you do pick this up, enjoy!

The resolution when played on a bluray ultra player is fantastic. Even better than the standard bluray and far hetter than the DVD.Then if you also have a decent sound system, youll be amazed at how this sounds.You'll see and hear things you didnt notice on 5he lower forms of media.And this is the best of the 6 Terminator films too.

I knew what I was getting into when I ordered this 4K release. Aknowledging the Internet backlash on what many consider to be excessive digital cleanup (e.g., removal of film grain, image/edge smoothing to the point of artificiality), I found this Lionsgate transfer to be surprisingly sharp, at times vivid, and certainly watchable. Yes, the end result looks less filmic, but I didn't find the image to be garish or distracting. This is not a Pirates of the Caribbean 4K situation. My Panasonic 4K player transcoded the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix (which my Sonos doesn't support) to multichannel PCM, and the end result is quieter than expected. Still plenty of action to be heard in the surrounds and the sub. As far as pressing and packaging, it comes in your standard 2-disc black case with some nice disc labels (see pictures). I redeemed the digital code through Apple TV which got me the 4K version with extras. All in all, I consider this good value and a great way to watch a seminal action movie.

Arrrrr nold........ still has chops to pull this one off. Enjoyable. The young kid is still somewhat irritating and over the top yelling... overdone. Good film with decent high def action. Worth getting.

Just like the original "Terminator," I can't imagine anyone reading this review, or looking at the Amazon entry and thinking about buying the film in it's "Ultimate Edition" DVD version, and not actually knowing what the film is about. The original "Terminator" became an icon; it entered our collective memories - "I'll be back!" - became a cultural phenomenon, a cinematic urban legend with a life all it's own, and "T2" is the next step in its evolution.And `evolution' is a good way of looking at it. "T2" is not some cheesy installment in a bloated cinematic franchise, designed to generate mega-$'s for all concerned, while shortchanging the viewer with a bland or worthless story line, cardboard FX, and Z-list performances. No, "T2" is a legitimate continuation of the original "Terminator," creating more of the backstory and mythology of the "Terminator" universe, and taking us closer to the day when Skynet achieves consciousness and decides to wage its war of global extermination against Mankind. In fact, the genesis of the "T2" story can be seen in one of the deleted scenes contained on the "Terminator, Special Edition" disc; Sarah Connor, tired of being hunted, decides to take the fight to Skynet's creator, the Cyberdyne Corporation, which, as shown in yet another deleted scene, is where the climactic fight against the original terminator took place!And this, literally, is the key to "T2." When the original terminator was crushed in the press, the company salvaged its CPU/chip, damaged and inoperable, plus one arm. It's the research done on the CPU that leads to the computing breakthrough that leads to the creation of Skynet, which created the terminators in the first place! And just as Skynet sent a terminator back through time to ensure John Connor couldn't interfere with its plans, Sarah Connor attempts to stop the creation of Skynet itself in the present... you see where this is going? There're probably a couple of pretty nasty time-travel paradoxes involved in all of this - maybe we should ask Dr Who! - but it doesn't matter, the story carries you effortlessly along and doesn't let you start going `round and `round in those kinds of ever diminishing circles!The basic set-up is as follows, having failed in killing Sarah Connor in the original "Terminator," Skynet dispatches yet another terminator, a state of the art T-1000, this time to kill John Connor while he's a young teenager. And just as before, the adult John Connor dispatches a guardian, in the shape of an old T-800 terminator, reprogrammed to protect him at all costs.And it's the difference between the two terminators that is one of the main joys of the film. The T-1000 is a shape-shifting "liquid metal" creation, able to morph into almost any guise it needs, as long as the end result is the same basic size, or volume, as itself. This basic characteristic is one of the elements that delayed the making of "T2." James Cameron had the idea for the "shape shifter" when making the original "Terminator," but it took the intervening years for cinematic CGI FX to catch up with Cameron's imagination, so the T-1000 could be portrayed convincingly on-screen!Robert Patrick plays the "human" T-1000, and his performance is as different from the original terminator as is the technology he represents. "Ahnald's" original performance set the standard, relentless and robotic, unstoppable, like a semi spinning out of control on an ice covered freeway; get out of the way or be obliterated. Robert Patrick gives a more subtle, more nuanced, performance; he's smaller, sleeker, faster, his is the relentlessness of a shark moving in for the kill, a thing of terrible beauty that cannot be swayed or negotiated with. But the T-1000 also knows something of human frailty, of pain, and how to use it to its advantage. Whereas the original terminator simply slaughtered anything that got in its way, the T-1000 actually tortures Sarah Connor in one scene in an effort to make her give up her son, telling her, "I know this must hurt...""Ahnald's" performance, as the old-tech T-800 model terminator, is also more varied, and this is explained in, what I think is, the most important scene deleted from the original theatrical release, but reinstated in this "Ultimate Edition." Sarah, having been broken out of an asylum by her son and his newest bestest buddy - his very own terminator! - is holed up in a disused gas station with John and the Terminator. The T-800 explains, while Sarah digs bullets out of its back, that it's possible for the terminators to learn, to adapt to their environments, but a switch on the CPU has to be reset to allow this behavior; the default setting is the unstoppable hunter killer, with no need of subtlety. But here's the catch, to make the change, which will allow the Terminator to better protect John, the CPU has to be removed, effectively shutting down the Terminator, then reset and reinstalled. The CPU is removed, but Sarah tries to destroy it, saying it'll be one less terminator, and John, exerting his authority for the first time, convinces his mother that they need the Terminator if they are to survive, and more importantly, stop the creation of Skynet. From here on in, the film roars to its finale as Sarah takes the fight to Cyberdyne by, literally, zeroing in on Dr Miles Dyson, the scientist who obsessively cracks the secret of the original terminator CPU."T2" lacks the sheer visceral punch of the original; it's a more refined, mature, and carefully thought out film, but that's no criticism, the set pieces will blow you away, and the CGI, absolutely state of the art at the time, STILL stands up today. This is controlled action and mayhem for grown-ups, and "Ahnald" was true to his word when he said, "I'll be back!"

Good movie,

Fantastic !

good movie terminator 2 classic good action movie

Image.- Que ce soit le contraste, les noirs, les effets spéciaux ... etc ... même si ce film commence à dater, il reste très propre à regarder.

Samen met aliens beste sequels aller tijden

T2: Judgement Day ist für viele der beste Actionfilm und die Krönung des Genres. Gut verständlich, denn T2 war seinerzeit der teuerste Film aller Zeiten und hatte bahnbrechende Spezialeffekte, die selbst heute besser und realer als so manch aktuelle CGI-Effekte aussehen. Um dem noch eins draufzusetzen fährt James Cameron hier mit spektakulärer Action auf, die es wirklich in sich hat. Die Story ist genauso gut. Wo es im ersten Teil noch darum ging, dass Sarah Connor vor dem T-800 gerettet werden muss, findet ein kleiner Rollenwechsel statt. Der zukünftige John Connor schickt den T-800 in die Vergangenheit zurück um sein jüngeres Ich vor einem besseren Terminator-Modell zu schützen. Genau da ist die kleine Diskrepanz. Obwohl ich die Idee cool finde, ist es enttäuschend was die aus Arnolds T-800 gemacht haben. Im ersten Teil noch eine badass Killermaschine und nun im zweiten Teil "humanitär" weil John Connor es so sagt. Obwohl ich zu den wenigen Leuten gehöre, die Teil Eins besser finden, ist Terminator 2 trotzdem ein Must-See und der einzig wahre Abschluss der Terminator-Reihe.Ich hatte mal die Erstauflage und die Bildqualität da war recht gut, wurde aber dem Film nicht gerecht. Deswegen war ich ziemlich gehyped auf diese Remastered Auflage. Mich hat die Bildqualität dieser Blu-Ray-Auflage in einer zwiegespaltenen Stimmung hinterlassen. Oftmals sieht das Bild für einen 30 Jahre alten Film unglaublich atemberaubend aus und könnte mit aktuellen Produktionen mithalten. Das Filmkorn wurde gänzlich entfernt wodurch das Bild wirklich ultrasauber aussieht. Das komischste an dem ganzen ist, dass die Weitwinkelshots am besten aussehen. Normalerweise ist das eigentlich umgekehrt. In Nahaufnahmen machen sich die Probleme vom DNR bemerkbar, weil man da erst merkt, dass die Gesichter stellenweise nicht natürlich aussehen und in gewissen Bildbereichen leicht verwaschen sind. Trotzdem würde ich diese Remastered Blu-Ray jederzeit der Erstauflage vorziehen. Den Ton ist ein Stück weit besser gelungen. Wie so immer bei mir üblich habe ich mir den Film in Englisch angeschaut, was bei Arni-Filmen eigentlich Pflichtprogramm sein sollte. Die Soundqualität ist sehr gut. Tolle Dynamik, wuchtige Effektsounds und eine anständige Räumlichkeit. Lediglich die Dialoge sind manchmal komisch abgemischt. Da gibt es eine handvoll Szenen, wo die Dialoge zu leise sind. Ansonsten akustisch sehr gut.Extras sind befriedigend. Es befinden sich drei Schnittfassungen auf der Blu-Ray. Die Kinofassung, der 17 Minuten längere Director's Cut und dann nochmal die um 2 Minuten längere Extended Special Edition. Anzumerken ist, dass in den längeren Fassungen die zusätzlichen Szenen NICHT in der remasterten Qualität vorliegen. Zudem gibt es 2 Audiokommentare und eine handvoll videobasierter Extras, die leider nur in einer Standardauflösung enthalten sind.
