   Summary: Blu-Ray is deceptive, and possible Roman
With VHS there was always a fairly visible vapor that affected the film. With DVD we saw a new image. With Blu-Ray the vapor is eliminated, and the image is heightened to the point that you can see every flaw. This is the case with most older films that are given the High Def treatment. Terminator 1 and 2 are no different. Please watch Independence Day and tell me that ever effect is goofy looking in HD. The fact is our films under HD are starting to look like those old black and white sci-fi movies we told our parents looked like crap, and we doubted out they could ever fear the Creature From the Black Lagoon.

I, however, am a realist. I get quite excite when I watch a Blu-Ray and can see the flaws. From dirty windows in the Bourne Series, to the Jittery movement of the De-Swartzenegger'd Terminator. T-1000s special effects were amazing originally, but now, almost 20 year later, it looks... well, matted. Because let's face it... they are.

Blu-Ray is going to age your films. Allowing us to see every inch of the movie, all 1080 of it, and is going to also show blemishes, bumps, bruises, and might open the door to a more romanesque interpretation of the artform, instead of the Athenian idealism that preceeded this age. The reason why this statement is fact is that the entertainment industry is shuffling as we speak to design make-up that is HD safe.

My hope is that it is not. All our favorite films are flawed. I mean, after all, T1 and T2 do not star the great actor of all time. Let's face it. The name at the front of the credits is the first flaw.

All the same, I love my copy. I can't wait to see a true HD movie like Terminator Salvation. The robots are majorly going to kick butt.

   Summary: T2
I was very pleased with this movie. I received it faster than I expected to and the picture quality was great! I was a little skeptical at first about how it would look in high def since it's almost 20 years old but the transfer to HD was very impressive.

   Summary: Nice but not much better than the SD DVD
It looks and sounds just a bit better than 1991...but not much. No special additional features, not a 'remastering'. But worth the $11 I paid here at Amazon.

   Summary: T2: No Sophomore Slump
This is one of the rare sequels that not only lives up to but surpasses the original. The music and effects have been ramped up a notch, and the pacing is perfect for the story they are telling here. More importantly, however, the interaction between the characters is just perfectly done and the story has some very deep overtones. The idea of taking your destiny into your own hands is portrayed here excellently.

Speaking more of the minutia of the movie, the role reversal done with Arnold Schwarzenegger's terminator character is a wonderful touch. The idea of a villain reformed is great. Plus the fact that this machine spends much of the movie learning what exactly it is to be human. One particular line at the end is delivered very simply but very poignantly: I know now why you cry, but it is something I can never do.

This movie is the rare one that is effectively action-packed, spectacular, poignant, touching and insightful.
