Terminator 2 - 4K Blu-ray Review

[@1000000man1]

I know it doesn't apply to this particular film but in reference to film studios "upscaling" That should be illegal. I'm not even Joking. It's literally false advertising. Because it's Not possible to 'upscale' the film. What people don't realise is that the reason we have 4k Blu-rays of older films which look good, is because the actual analogue print of the film is a very high resolution. Digital is actually so far behind analogue and every time we upgrade digital, we need to take the analogue print and transfer it in order to get the resolution we want. You can't take a 1080p digital image and Just try to upscale it to 4k.. You have to get the analogue print and make another transfer in 4k. For example, IMAX 70mm film is equivalent to about 16k, from what I've read. We obviously don't have 16k discs. So they transfer the film onto a digital 4k copy to distribute.. When we eventually have let's say 10k, we then need to take the original IMAX print and transfer it again to a 10k digital format, which still won't be as good as the original print. But the one thing you *can't* do is Just take the 4k digital transfer and try to upscale it to 10k because it's Just Not genuine. * I only bring this up because Jeff mentioned how Lionsgate does it, knowing that they are charging people more for 4k discs that are literally No better than the regular Blu-rays and I think people should be aware of this because it's literally a con.

What do we want ? We want to watch the film we saw in the cinemas in 1991 with high resolution. Not an altered rubbish. Corrections should be done before releasing the film not 30 odd years later.

[@StraightUpOverkill]

They completely changed the look of the film lol. All people want are faithful versions to the original theatrical release for home viewing. Seeing a print of this vs the 4K release (and frankly the skynet version is night and day.

Heavy DNR on this. 2015 BD is best transfer with no DNR so grain is intact. The Canadian release has all the commentary tracks too.

[@dusk1234567890]

I don’t remember seeing any grain when I watched it in the cinemas back in the 90s. Is the grain natural or are we seeing more of it because of 4k?

[@pungisotu]

dusk1234567890 can’t answer that as I didn’t see it in the theaters. Just watched the 4K last night and while I don’t find it as bad as it seems others do, there is no doubt it’s a softer image than my 2015 Blu Ray. It reminds me of the 2009 Blu Ray which had grain removed and a softer less defined image as a result. The 4K image appears clean but even more obviously soft in its higher resolution.

[@guts3289]

@@dusk1234567890 Grain is normal for movies shot on Film. If you use DNR, everyone looks like wax figures because Grain is a part of the picture that contains detail. The Higher the resolution of the film stock, the less noticeable the Grain is but it’s there.

[@di9italdubster]

The extended version that’s included isn’t in 4k either. I think that’s BS, especially since they had time to work on this release. 😑

[@pungisotu]

BD doesn’t contain the old transfer. It is the newer 2017 transfer with heavy DNR and CGI alterations.

[@dirkdiggler2430]

You're complaining about James chaining small details that we probably didn't even notice when we watched the movie and if you hadn't mentioned it we probably would have never noticed that the 4k version has made those changes.

Glad i found your channel and love the content! I would love to see The Abyss in 4K! It's another James Cameron movie that released in 89' or 90' if i remember. Hopefully Cameron won't change anything in that and give it a proper 4K release than he did with Terminator 2.

[@MrGB1999]

There's literally nothing wrong with the 4K version. I think most will prefer it and very few will be able to even identify the seemingly KZbin-wide criticisms. The clarity and colour just pops in a way it hasn't before! Shame no Atmos, though.

[@davefilms345]

It's absolutely atrocious this 4k and it's only fit for one place and that's the bin. The film is amazing and it's ruined by a waxy crap transfer

[@Mr.Randy210]

It's ok at best, just watched the OG terminator on 4k and yeah, the T2 4k is seriously lacking

[@rajeevgidwaney8948]

This transfer is defintely different from the blu ray versions. Seen the entire movie. The color timing is changed but i enjoyed it. DNR is applied and the resulting image is smooth but i did not see any loss of detail. In fact if you see robert patrick's face you can clearly make out scars that could not be seen in any blu ray versions. Also the DTS HD is defintely a remaster and averages over 5.5 mb/sec. It is totally immersive and i found it even better than the german 7.1 DTS HD master and the Skynet edition 6.1 DTS ES HD matrix versions. Yes they could have pumped it upto Dolby Atmos but they would defintely be rereleasing it when Terminator 5 hit the theatres. Overall not a bad 4K but i wont spend my money yet.

[@brianwalker7771]

I like it when special effects are updated/upgraded in a new release. AS LONG AS THEY ARE OPTIONAL ! Shows like Star Trek and Doctor Who do it right. The new effects are present IF you want them and not there if you do not.

[@raphaeldelaghetto85]

Correcting the stunt-man's face with Arnold's and fixing the bent knife were actually improvements. You can always just pop in the old dvd or blu ray if you want to see the original.

[@dochvtech22]

Agree! Ps.. look up Gene kim n Chuck missler on KZbin

[@SamLovesMovies25]

Although I agree that I would also prefer that the film be left unaltered, because to me those "mistakes" are a part of the filmmaking, at least those CGI changes weren't as glaringly in-your-face, distracting, and awful as the ones in Star Wars though...

[@SamLovesMovies25]

I also agree that I didn't like the filters they put on this release. The heavy DNR scrub was probably the worst thing about it, and in looking at comparison screenshots, it looks like a lot of the highlights in the picture were lost (i.e. brighter shine on sweaty faces). *Some* details do look sharper though, so of course I just wish that it ALL looked better/sharper without the bad changes.

[@duncandonuts5268]

personally i think it's neat. i just wish they also had an un-altered version of this in 4K to go with it.

[@TimSeraphiel]

Sadly I bought this 4K as soon as I saw it in the shops and before I saw any reviews of it. Now I've subscribed to your channel to try and avoid that mistake again!

[@xfilesmanson]

The 6th day I think is one of the best Schwarzenegger movies. But seems to get ignored.

[@GlonthLives]

Sounds like we got 4K release of the remaster that was done for the 3D re-release of the film. Changes to brightness and colors probably enhanced the 3D presentation in theaters. They were lazy with this disc and just used the only 4K master of the film that was available, which was not intended for home presentation.

The little cgi changes are a good thing and its nothing like the star wars cgi change your being to over the top using that as a comparison. Surely seeing the stuntman face instead of Arnold takes me out of the film and now he's changed it i think it done for the better also with the knife not bending. Its seems your nitpicking for the sake of it and nothing on the scale to star wars. As for picture quality that comes down to the person preferences and tv setup

It doesn't "feel" like Terminator 2 filmed in 1991, but instead they emulated how modern movies look. But 4K is still 4K and this is the most detail and clarity we've ever gotten with a T2 release.

[@UnicornRyder04]

@Lachlan Thompson you didnt get your 3 different endings?😭 🤧

[@Browean]

I like the fact that they got rid of all the bloopers ( stuntman/ window popping off ) because for me personally it would always take me out of the movie cause you could tell it wasn’t Arnold, but now it looks like him and for someone watching for first time they would think it actually was Arnold. So I think it’s actually a plus rather than taking anything away from the movie and I also think it makes the film more superior.

Films At Home. Jeff, to me only my opinion those optical changes on T2 are the greatest and biggest plus points of this edition, that stuntman face scenes allways sucks or the truck window scene, this is not George Lucas style! The only bad side issue on this 4k transfer for both 1080p and UHD is the DNR + color timing issues, so thank you James Cameron for correcting your own film wich is your right to correcting the technical..problems from the past and Jeff if i w.. him i also would update the hole bad ship CGI scenes incl. CGI peaple scenes from his masterpiece Titanic too, and for audience like you he should leave the option on the disc main menu to choose: Original or final version, another example to ask, you didn't liked Blade Runner final cut version on UHD or 1080p? Come on....

All anyone needs is the "Skynet Edition" Blu-ray. It's got 3 different versions of the film, the code to unlock the last version is 8-29-97, this version has all the deleted scenes added.. except for 2 scenes which are in the special features & it's got the "Sarah in the Park" alternate ending. This 4k is a waste of money & almost ruins the movie with all the re - editing. It's a shame that they screwed up the 4k so bad. It's almost too CGI heavy.. with a movie that pioneered CGI effects.. it's just too much for this. Stick with the "Skynet Edition".. it's most likely $9.00 now.

[@raminybhatti5740]

The only scene where the DNR is overt and distracting is the "Clothes, boots, motorcycle" scene. Aside from that I'm warming to the weird teal sheen. I do miss the previous blue and fleshy tones. But the resolution and bitrate is amazing. Really sharp and almost modern looking in large places.

[@intense79nick]

Director's really should preserve both versions if they want to make those types of corrections. Title it something dumb like "revised Director's version" but also give us the 4k transfer of how it was screened at release. George is robbing the people of a significant piece of pop culture by keeping the original edit of Star Wars locked away.

Tone as wel as muscular tone as well so well done, a little different from the special edition I have from back in the day..I was thrilled so pristine and the sound quality, which is obviously Dolby speakers was done very well.

Great review...🤘🏼💯✔️ I just finally upgraded yesterday from DVD to the T-1-6 Blu-Ray collection...👌🏼

[@danieldalton6544]

I don't mind cgi corrections to make something look more realistic like Blade Runner Final Cut (putting Joanna Cassidy in place of her obvious stunt double was great). Or enhancing f/x like Star Wars. But having Greedo shoot first, adding in that bad Jabba scene, and the little robot laughing at the other robot and getting hit on the top of the head were warrantless, stupid changes/additions I wish hadn't been done. So aside from the cgi corrections Cameron did to T2, how IS the 4k picture? Is it improved over Blu ray or is it a bad transfer and flat like POTC: Curse of the Black Pearl or The Punisher with Thomas Jane? If you put aside the cgi corrections is it a great visual presentation worthy of 4k?

[@CraigBickerstaff]

I don't think it's fair to compare some small visual changes to what George Lucas did, I didn't even notice the changes myself. George didn't just make small aesthetic changes, he made story alterations, lengthened scenes, and then made the old versions unavailable. Even the older versions of the Special editions are only really available as whatever the best version was at the time of home video release, you can still choose which version of the film you want to watch and if this version of the film isn't to your taste then it's easy enough to pick up the Skynet version or the million different other releases of Terminator 2, it came out on HiVision, D-Theater and they even had a DVD that came with the Movie in HD in Windows media 9. I wouldn't even call this a new restoration of the film to be honest I think that is more of a marketing thing. The truth is they probably had to rescan the film in 4k or something so that they could make the 3D version and then they decided to just put it out as the new restoration in order to sell more than just some 3D and UHD discs. I'm actually a little surprised you made such a big deal out of the "changes" I would have thought that more focus would be put on the excessive noise reduction and the modern color grading.

[@justinstrohm1062]

I think I'm more annoyed at the fact that it's the theatrical version that's in 4K and not the special or special extended cuts of the film. The theatrical version has too many cuts that I can't watch it over the special edition, because you're missing out on so much more scenes and context of the overall story. The changes, I'm all for. Removing the stunt double's face and adding in Arnold's (for example) makes perfect sense- I mean, Arnold IS the Terminator. I'm glad that was changed.

BaxWar2092 when films are filmed on a film like T2 (super35mm film) it has grain and if you use dnr to remove that grain you take the fine detail away since the detail is in the grain...

For example the scars on robert patrick and edward furlong's foster mother. The stain on the jeans of the foster dad. The mettalic finish is so pronounced on the skull closeup in the title credits. The difference when you look at arnolds face which looks waxy but in the same seen when you see the other bikers they facial features are more defined. I do feel that most of us did not get the same 4K Blu ray. Remember there was a delay . probably something somewhere horribily went wrong.

People often associate the "tint" with the HDR enhancement.

Just watched on Samsung q9fn. It looks amazing!!!

[@dubya85]

agree on your thoughts on the changes homie

[@kronosjapan]

The quality of this release is a business decision: give people something new/sorta better, but leave out a lot so we can sell upgrades. You'll get a few more improved releases of T2 UHD and then start over on 8K. I'm sticking with Blu-ray until prices drop on 4K and versions of films are released that get better reviews.

[@Mr.77776]

One of the best 4k's out there.

Mr. 7 false

[@Rilumai]

It's absolutely one of the WORST 4K transfers out there. Complete garbage of a release.

[@VIDEOgameDROME]

One of the worst. T2 is my favourite film and I don't want it.

[@GregoryCunningham]

Obviously the best Terminator movie? I don't know about that, the first is pretty epic as well.

[@phillipmccauley7744]

Just got the 4k steelbook, which is what I was really waiting for. Pretty sure the disks are the same but the digital copy did redeem only the theatrical version in 4k

[@moeedahmed6022]

Is terminator 2 4k disc freezes ?

[@Chrisfragger1]

At least it's not turning the guns into walkie-talkies or flashlights whatever they did in ET...

[@squadmoralerestored]

I'm hoping the 30th anniversary disc will be a new version! Thanks Jeff

[@irish7460]

Same, but lets be honest, it's likely the same version.

[@squadmoralerestored]

@@irish7460 From what I gather it is going to be the same. Just a repack

[@kthx1138]

Is the 4K the 1991 theatrical cut, the special edition or both?

[@ProJatior]

3D or Skynet extended cut are the ways to go.

[@aussie8114]

GET TO DA CHOPPA Whoops wrong Arnie movie 😂

I wish they would have fixed the sound. I find it all over the place. Soft dialogue and music then you get pounded with a few bangs and pops hear and there then back down to soft everything. No real defining audio space with any left right or sound field placement given. The sound is almost making me not finish watching it cause I have to have the remote going up and down in volume non stop. The video looks great by the way.
