Terminator 2: Judgment Day Blu-ray
Lionsgate Films | 1991 | 137 mins | Rated R | Jun 27, 2006
Terminator 2: Judgment Day(1991)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller     Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the Terminator in this explosive action-adventure spectacle. Now he's one of the good guys, sent back in time to protect John Connor, the boy destined to lead the freedom fighters of the future. Linda Hamilton reprises her role as Sarah Connor, John's mother, a quintessential survivor who has been institutionalized for her warning of the nuclear holocaust she knows is inevitable. Together, the threesome must find a way to stop the ultimate enemy-the T-1000, the most lethal Terminator ever created. Co-written, produced and directed by James Cameron (The Terminator, Aliens, Titanic), this visual tour de force is also a touching human story of survival. For more details about Terminator 2: Judgment Day on Blu-ray, see the Terminator 2: Judgment Day Blu-ray Review Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Robert Patrick, Earl Boen Director: James Cameron Terminator 2: Judgment Day Blu-ray, Video Quality  Lionsgate has released Terminator 2 for the first time on Blu-ray as expected in 1080p high definition inside the film's original 2.35:1 frame. This is a fine but underwhelming presentation on the whole. Flaws are few and far between, but it just doesn’t strike me as especially great. The image at times looks slightly washed out, especially in the black levels. There is still a good deal of detail to be seen throughout in both close-ups and distance shots. I noticed no major instances of edge enhancements, but some was indeed present in places. Flesh tones are natural and accurate and color reproduction appears to be spot-on. This is one of the very earliest of Blu-ray releases, and as such, it doesn't quite live up to the standard we are seeing today, even from the more recent Lionsgate titles. Nonetheless, this is still the best looking version of T2 I have ever seen. Terminator 2: Judgment Day Blu-ray, Audio Quality Unfortunately, and likely due to the use of a BD-25 disc, there is no lossless audio track to be found on this disc. Instead, we get a very well done 1.5 Mbps DTS track alongside a Dolby Digital 5.1 track running at 640 kbps. On the whole I was pleased with the DTS track, but also disappointed knowing that the inclusion of a PCM or DTS HD MA track would have made a film known for it's sonic experience all the better. Parts of this track are rather subdued, even in the action sequences. Of course, perhaps its not fair to rate this track immediately after watching the first Terminator film on Blu-ray, a film that featured a robust (perhaps overly so) PCM track that had the action going on in every speaker for the length of the film. I'm not one to demand an overly aggressive mix; instead I prefer a natural sounding mix that kicks the surrounds in when need be and plays like real life rather than an engineered track, which the first film's track, at times, came across as (though I thoroughly enjoyed it for the most part). Here, though, it does sound a bit more natural but it came across as obviously lacking in deep bass and an overall sense of immersion into the film. This not much of an upgrade from the 2-disc "Ultimate" special edition DVD. Dialogue is reproduced without a hitch. There is definitely some excellent ambience throughout that really enhance the overall experience. It was, on the whole, surprisingly more front heavy than I expected, and I am sure the inevitable double dip on this title will incorporate some sort of lossless option, PCM most likely if Lionsgate’s upcoming releases such as War, 3:10 to Yuma, and Saw IV are any indication.
