Advantages: Excellent plot and action! Disadvantages: I'm not very keen on the added bits on this DVD......
The Terminator was a massive success (Read my review for more info) and so it was inevitable that a second film would be made. But could it possibly beat the brilliance of the origional film?
For starters, Terminator 2: Judgement Day has a different feel to it. Rather than being a horror (I think it's a horror anyway....) like the origional, James Cameron decided to make the sequel an action packed masterpiece! The other major difference is that ...

...of the low budget The Terminator in 1984, it was only a matter of time before a follow-up was made. Unfortunately, legal wranglings over the rights meant that the film wasn't possible until 1991, and also meant that there was an extremely short timescale for a production of this size as the release date had been set for the July 4th weekend.
The delay in making the follow-up had allowed Cameron to make Aliens and, more importantly, The Abyss, which ...

Advantages: Everything Disadvantages: None
...the box office smash hit, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Linda Hamilton. I must say this was my favourite film out of the trilogy, the storyline, characters; special effects for that era really made this a rock solid action film. After a 7 year wait, fans were gifted with a sequel that was well worth the illustrious wait.

Sarah Conner meanwhile has been locked up in a psychiatric hospital run by the slimy Doctor Silberman.
The main story is a tale of friendship between John Connor and his Terminator almost along the same lines of say ...

...of the first film; a Terminator cyborg is sent back in time from a post-apocalyptic future to assassinate the future leader of the human resistance against the machines. The humans send their own protector, and battle is joined. This time around, there are two cyborgs, Arnie’s T-800, and the more sophisticated T-1000, played by Robert Patrick (Die Hard 2, The X-Files, Charlie’s Angels 2). Where the first film had a mere $6 million to play ...

Advantages: A benchmark DVD Disadvantages: A lot of the info in the extras is text based
...story set by the first Terminator but this time sees Arnie as the good guy against the latest Terminator who is sent back to kill John Connor and stop the original revolution.
I would recommend watching the first film if possible before diving into T2 but it is not essential.
The DVD
First of all I will say that this DVD is only available on a Region 1 American DVD (Due 08/10/2001 in Britain at time of writing). This means you will need ...

Advantages: Amazing Film, Even more amazing special features. Disadvantages: none
I have the Region 1 Disc however it supposedly will be the same on Region2 so here is my opinion.
In one word, the disc as a whole is Brilliant.
T2: Judgement day has to be one of my favourite films of all time, and although it may not be as scary as the original Terminator, makes up for this in the story and visual effects. The "Ultimate DVD Edition" complements this great movie with a massive array of extras that anyone who was interested ...

...sequel to the very successful Terminator film had to be something special to keep the films reputation…and it lived up to its name.
Known shortly as T2 it starts off confusing the viewers by switching the terminator (again played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) from the killer to the protector, reprogrammed in the year 2029 by John Conner and then sent back to 1994 to protect the young John Conner, (played by Edward Furlong).

...the basic premise of the Terminator films, and whilst T2 is not the deepest film in the world, it is a very entertaining film.
With discs like this, Se7en and Fight Club it makes you realise the true value of dvd as a medium. This disc is just packed to the rafters with extras. For starters we get not one, not two but three versions of the film on the disc, all with excellent transfer and cracking sound - plug it into your surround sound system ...

The acting by Edward Furlong was brilliant, I am still dumbfounded to this day why he hasn't played more parts in eagerly awaited blockbuster movies. The choice to cast Robert Patrick for the T-1000 was just right. He has the face of a 'mimetic poly-alloy ...
