This was rarely an issue and dialogue was always clear and detailed with a fixed, solid, up front, and mostly center imaging. I also noted that there was occasionally what sounded to be distortion on some of the center channels speech sibilance. Channel levels were generally good though I did raise my overall level by +2dB just to get enough bottom end. This energetic DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is the same as that on the later 2015 Blu-ray and included HD Blu-ray, providing good immersion and some solid LFE, especially in the film’s final act during a rather intensive battle and ensuing explosive sequences.
My two SD DVD’s do not have lossless audio nor the 2016 HD version that I borrowed. There is very little to criticize about it on my playback and projection system. I found this video a very satisfying and engaging watch. Daytime and nighttime colors were all well saturated like the reds, oranges and yellows of explosive fire, T2’s scans and the yellow road divider line. Costume and fabric detail like jacket threads and general clothing were excellent, while building and vehicle, rust, dents, general abuse and wear and tear looked excellent.

Closeups of T2’s damaged face and some skin shots revealed some less than stellar CGI/makeup effects but I could ignore that. The facial close-ups showed excellent skin, pore, pock marks and follicle hair detail even down to the makeup but with excellent skin tone. There might be a case for saying that there is a little excessive use of edge enhancement but it was very minimal. Image clarity and fine detail is very good throughout especially in the many close-ups. Peak whites provided clean details with no obvious clipping, creating a solid dynamic range. Blacks are deep and virtually noise free, supported by excellent low level shadows and detail. Many scenes are in dark rooms with low level lighting or night sequences with only a few outside daytime shots like those around Reseda, LA and in the desert where you will see the higher white levels that also occur during many explosions, fire fights, hot flowing iron and various lighting effects. I am not a big fan of any film grain, and despite this movie being imaged on film, there was virtually none here, looking almost like a video shoot. The only issue I noticed was that the opening titles and text were not razor sharp, having slightly soft edges…maybe that was how it was produced. I was impressed with the detail, sharpness and color saturation right out of the gate as the flaming opening scenes burst forth onto the screen with well saturated reds, yellows and oranges, excellent detail and absolutely no compression artifacts. The original HD movie (that I borrowed) was a little dark and was lacking is luster, pop and detail not so here. Sorry, but I found few video issues that were a distraction or that would significantly impact my technical score. I have read several reviews about this 4K release that were less than kind regarding its video qualities. It was created by Lionsgate Films and finished as a native 4K Digital Intermediate with color grading in HDR10. This Ultra HD release, is a 2160P transfer in 2.40:1 of the original camera negative. Terminatoror 2: Judgment Day was originally shot on 35 mm photochemical film using Arriflex 35 BL4 cameras and Zeiss Super Speed and Cooke Varotal Lenses. After all I own both the Ultimate and Extreme DVD SD versions….did I need more? At $7.99 now, how could I refuse? In a nutshell this often dark image looked excellent played back on my Oppo 205 and ISF calibrated JVC DLA-RS640. However, I was never going to pay full price for a 4K movie version that didn’t get a good review. I know, this too is a blast from the past. So what did the 5.1 soundtrack sound like? Acceptable in most respects, and the native 4K HDR10 video? Very good considering what was originally released in both SD and HD. My reviews are biased towards the technical production aspects of the film with brief comments about the story line. My ratings are simple being marked out of a maximum of 5+.
