Judgment Day

Starring:Van Peebles, Ice-T, Amis
Studio: Lions Gate
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
An enormous asteroid is heading towards Earth and threatens to wipe out all life on the planet! Sound familiar? Since the Cold War nuclear-threat movies played out sometime in the early Nineties, there was a spate of films that found the Earth threatened by H.R. Giger-style aliens or giant rocks from outer space. With a movie like Judgment Day, comparisons to Independence Day and Deep Impact are inevitable. Actually, this direct-to-video release is the more enjoyable, without the insultingly simplistic plot of the former or the heavy-handed chin-rubbing portent of the latter. A boulder crashes into a Peruvian village, obliterating it; it's a mere pebble compared to the whopper that will crash earthward in a couple of days. The military brass opts for a Star Wars-style weapon to destroy it, but the only man who can help make the thing work has been kidnapped by a cult led by religious head-case Mario Van Peebles. Enter the FBI and convict Ice-T, imprisoned for taking revenge on Van Peebles to settle a personal score. The film veers towards being a political thriller, a 'hood movie (with a Coolio cameo), an action film, a buddy movie and old-fashioned sci-fi along the way, but the sum total is a pretty entertaining B-movie that never quite takes itself too seriously. Fans of TV's Barney Miller should enjoy seeing Max Gail getting a migraine as the head of Air Defense Command, Van Peebles is great as the charismatic religious screwball and Ice-T iswell, Ice-T. --Jerry Renshaw
Description
A giant meteor is expected to crash into Earth in a matter of days - a crash that would cause global devastation. There is only one chance to prevent impending doom. The government must find Dr. David Corbett (Linden Ashby), the creator of the Thor Project - a "Star Wars"-type of satellite system, and use his help to annihilate the fragment. But before Corbett can be contacted, he is kidnapped by militant religious cult-leader Thomas Payne (Mario Van Peebles), a zealot who believes that judgment day is rightly upon us. The government is forced to enlist the help of Payne's archenemy Matthew Reese (Ice T), a convicted killer, who is the only man who could know Payne's whereabouts. But will they have time to find Dr. Corbett and save the world? Find out in this fast-paced, action-packed thriller.

After he pushed the envelope of computer-generated special effects in The Abyss, director James Cameron turned this hotly anticipated sequel to Terminator into a well-written, action-packed showcase for advanced special effects and for one of the most invincible villains ever imagined. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a legitimate sequel: there's more story to tell about a hulking, leather-clad android (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who arrives from the future to protect a rebellious teenager and future leader (Edward Furlong) from being killed by the tenacious T-1000 robot (Robert Patrick), whose liquid-metal construction makes him seemingly unstoppable. The fate of the future lies in the balance, with Linda Hamilton (who would later marry her director) reprising her role as the rugged woman whose son will change the course of history. --Jeff Shannon

Description

He said he'd be back. This time experience T2 like never before! Go EXTREME with the best picture and sound ever! 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 story of survival.

Ultimate and Extreme DVD's the way to go.......2007-06-28

This is the second movie from James Cameron that I consider to be among the best science fiction films ever. Sequels rarely stack up to their predecessor, but this film actually outdoes the original Terminator, which is saying a lot considering how good the original was. Terminator 2 has everything you need to make an excellent sci-fi including a fantastic premise, very strong well-rounded character development, groundbreaking special effects, and the kind of story that would make Rod Serling proud. If there is ever a sci-fi movie that gives you all the best the genre has to give this is it.

One of the big deals about this movie is that it's the one that introduces to the world CG animation that actually seems to interact with a live environment as well as the morphing technique unique to computer animation. While Terminator 2 wasn't the first to do it (The Abyss gets the credit for all that... another Jim Cameron film) they do get the credit for popularizing it. Practically everybody uses computer animations with live action in one form or another today. Even over a decade later the CG effects still measure up and even outdo stuff that's still being created today.

On top of the new CG stuff you get plenty of other tried and true special effects that will knock your socks off. The action in this movie is relentless at times and will be sure impress any testosterone junkie out there. There is a lot of exciting gunplay in this movie that includes some killer military hardware too like the awesome 1500 rounds per minute minigun action reminiscent of Predator. Eye candy for those with a short attention span? Check.

If Terminator 2 only had a neato special effects and action it wouldn't be as great as it is. Everything else must work as well. The story in Terminator 2 is deep with the main characters evolving as events happen around them. Even the Terminator robot gets to get some character development. While it's cool to see the action and explosions and stuff what makes the movie really fill out is the fact it delves into several different levels of the human condition. You also get a ton of background details too like who was involved with building Skynet and even a scene with the futuristic battle that John Conner grows up to lead. The theoretical twists in the plot are enough to get the thinkers debating over time paradoxes and stuff like that. Deep and involving storyline for those who prefer quality over pizzazz? Check.

The Terminator robots are as awesome as ever. Not only do you get to see the classic style cyborg bad boy like in the last movie but you also get to see a completely different concept in killer robot technology with the T-1000. The future scene has even more robot coolness to offer, though it's just a little more than what I saw in the last movie (but still sweet!).

The acting is superb as well, which is surprising considering Edward Furlong has absolutely no previous experience in acting. Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton play off each other well. Robert Patrick gives a stunning and eerie performance as the T-1000. The soundtrack takes the original Terminator themes and puts them to new heights. The music truly enhances the movie here.

If the original movie wasn't enough Cameron decided to make an extended cut with almost 20 minutes of new footage. I wouldn't necessarily say the new footage opens up brand new territory for the movie, but I will say the extra scenes do add some extra depth to some of the scenes. A couple of the new scenes flesh out young John Conner's character a little, which is always a good thing. I wouldn't say any incredibly cool scenes were added though there is one with the Terminator that is kinda cool, but the good stuff in that scene has more to do with fleshing out some character development with the humans than cool cyborg tricks. Speaking of cyborg tricks you get the added bonus of seeing a Terminator try to smile. Funny, funny stuff! While I can't say the extended edition is better than the original I will say it does give you more background on the story, and thats always good if you're into that.

With the exception to blu-ray fans there are only two DVD editions you should consider (the rest don't have any special features). The Ultimate Edition and the Extreme Edition. Essentially what you have is a trade off between the two. Neither edition have the same special features. The Extreme edition improved the picture quality slightly while the Ultimate edition has DTS. Here is a breakdown:

Ultimate Edition: You get three versions of the movie. The theatrical release, the director's cut and an extended director's cut via an easter egg (EDC basically includes the deleted scenes). You get three in depth documentaries including one on the Universal Studios 3-D ride. Commentaries from the crew (no James Cameron). Also included are several smaller featurettes covering all aspects of production, tons of storyboards, a 30 page hard cover booklet insert and the screenplay. Not to mention THX certified test signal package for fine tuning your audio set up, Dolby 5.1, Dolby 2.0 and DTS 5.1 for all the audio freaks out there.

Extreme Edition: Two versions of the movie with the director's cut being on the disk and the theatrical trailer as a DVDRom movie (via Windows Media Player... although you can see the theatrical version on the DVD via an easter egg). An audio commentary from director James Cameron and screenwriter William Wisher, very comprehensive text commentaries with over 90 minutes of branching video footage, a 24 minute documentary and a 12 page hard copy booklet insert.

If you have no version of T2 on DVD I would recommend the Ultimate Edition since it has the most features. Although the Extreme Edition is still worthy for its James Cameron commentary track and the excellent text commentary. Since the extras are completely different between the two this might not be a bad double dip if you get them at the current low prices. The blu-ray version has only the theatrical version (no director's cut), but includes the commentaries from BOTH the Ultimate and Extreme editions. I say wait for a better high definition release.

If you haven't seen this movie I strongly recommend it. VERY strongly. You action fans will get plenty of mayhem for your pleasure. You content fans will get rich and full storylines with character drama. You sci-fi purists will get the kind of story you would expect to be reading from someone like Phillip K. Dick. This is required viewing for any sci-fi fan. Nuff said.

HD version without DD5.1.......2007-06-19

I bought the DVD in order to watch the Hi-Def version. I already have the older version of the movie, and I've seen it many times over the years. I have an HP laptop running Windows Vista, hooked up to my 50" Panasonic HDTV (1280x720), with the VGA connection. I loaded the disk, and it prompted me to install the InterActual player. Vista warned me that the program has issues with the new operating system. I went ahead, and installed it anyway, then immediately downloaded the newest version from the Internet. It then told me that I needed a DVD decoder that I could buy on their web page. I ignored that message, and went on to play the HD version of the movie. It played OK, after some initial stuttering during the first few screens.

The picture quality was very good, but the audio was not Dolby Digital 5.1, meaning that there is no surround sound. I followed up on the InterActual web page, and they confirmed this. Apparently, Microsoft used some other audio encoding. So, even though the picture quality is better, I chose to watch the lower definition, extended edition in order to get the DD5.1 sound. I find the sound quality is at least as important as the video quality.

The standard definition image is still very good. The nVidia chip set in my laptop does a nice job of upscaling. The 5.1 sound is spectacular as ever. The added minutes in the extended edition don't really add much, but the novelty effect is nice anyway. All in all, I'd say that it is worth the price at under $10.00.

Owes just as much to "Aliens" as it does its predecessor.......2007-06-17

It's no surprise that the editors of "Entertainment Weekly" would choose both "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" and "Aliens" as two of its 25 Best Action Films of all time. Both are sequels that significantly up the special effects ante, along with the body count, and both feature two of the movies most dynamic kick-[...] heroines, Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton" in the former and Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in the latter.

Besides doubling the action of the first, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" also doubles the cyborg quotient by returning Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role that he was born to play (this time as a "good" cyborg) and bringing in a more than equal combatant/foe in the from of the Robert Patrick as an "upgraded" model. The movie adds an element of surprise in the form of the much smaller (and less developed) Patrick as a superior model to Arnold's character, able to best the strongman in many a scene.

The movie also brings back Earl Boen in an expanded role as the befuddled "Dr. Silberman." He brings needed comic relief in a film that is short on words but long on action sequences.

James Cameron may have felt on "top of the world" a decade later with his Oscar-winning "Titanic" but it is for the first two "Terminator" films that he probably made his greatest cinematic impact.

High Def does not work in Vista.......2007-06-08

The movie is great, great package with lots of good features. However the WMP video could not be played at all. Some may experience this and some may not. You will to install the Interactual player to view the WMHD version.

Let's Shed Some Light.......2007-05-27

i love this film being a big film buff and all but also i've noticed that the price is fantastic and is even more cheaper in certain stores, anyway when i bought the dvd and popped it in the dvd player i was amazed with the picture pure high def 1080p i mean i baught this movie for 5.50 and it's in high definition, the blu-ray version is like 20 or 25 bucks so i'm wonderin why make a whole nother disc-format and just make standard dvd's in high def i mean perhaps u can't fit any special features but why not just make them double sided dvd's and put the special features on the other side instead of movie companies using 2 discs and waste money. i believe this will prevail and end the war against blu-ray vs. hd-dvd and just keep blank blu-ray discs for information purposes. I mean i love blu-ray and i want one so bad but u gotta pay up the nose just to get one, at least players are becoming more and more affordable but i dont want to have to convert all my 700 dvds to high def formats. it's interesting how Artisan backed this movie and now it doesnt exist anymore as soon as the high def battle started, Lionsgate is now mastering all thier old movies and they back up blu-ray 100%, it just makes you think what coinsidences emerged with all this, terminator 2 on standard dvd is in high def (for us in the US anyway) it cost me 5.50 its just a big mystery to me...

Go for the Ultimate or Extreme edition. .......2007-06-22

I love this movie, it is one of my all time favorites. I recently upgraded to a Blu-Ray player and this is one of the first movies I bought. I am hugely disappointed in the quality and features of this BD. It honestly sux. I went from the Ultimate edition to this BD edition and took a huge step back. The quality is about the same as the Ultimate or Extreme editions and there are no bonus features. This was one of the big movies I bought a Blu-ray player for, so you can understand my disappointment. I will probably sell it and re-buy the Ultimate or Extreme edition. I recommend waiting to see if they come out with an Ultimate or Extreme edition on Blu-ray before buying this one.

im happy with this version.......2007-04-21

it may not be the extended version with cut scenes. I will say i watched this movie on digital cable and compared it to the blu0ray version and trust me there is a big difference more colors no smearing of facial features like on the cable version and the sound is incredible. If your hdtv sucks then blu-ray version may suffer if the difference is not noticable its your tv
and not the blu-ray disc. This is a must have for terminator fans!

Upscaled DVD at Best!!!.......2007-04-18

High hopes were set in place for this blu-ray release, and I have to admit I am sadly dissapointed.

The transfer is only a 'fraction' above watching a SD DVD version upscaled, which is a real shame.

Buy at your own risk, or wait for a much better release, hopefully Director's Cut, remastered and all.

2.5/5 for effort.

Great movie on bluray.......2007-03-25

I bought this movie because I'm a fan and it is one of my top five action movies of all time. I wanted to see this film at it's best on bluray and I was not disappointed. The picture and sound is awsome. The commentary by James Cameron is a treat, one the most interesting commentarys I've listend to. It lacks some of the extras that dvd versions may have contained, but the bluray transfer of of the movie is superior to the dvd version. Finally, I can enjoy a sharp picture on my wide screen.

DVD quality at best.......2007-03-24

Anyone with a upconverting DVD player, or just a Blu-ray / PS3 will get the same quality of picture from the standard DVD. The transfer of this movie would need to be cleaned up digitally before it will be up to what Blu-ray can show. It's truely shocking the difference in quality between the menue footage which is true 1080p and fresh VS the lower grade transfure from the film with no digital clean-up. Anyone with the standard DVD should just save their money.

The wrong wrestlers are being pushed and this ppv is proof.......2007-06-21

Having Ric Flair open up a ppv to me is just disrespectful. This opening match to me was better than the main event and way better than the handicap match. Also mostly clean wins, even for the heels.

Ric Flair vs. Carlito. They got a good amount time to put on a very good opener. Even at his age Flair can always get the crowd pumped. This man deserves another Heavyweight Title run in my opinion. And Carlito is sticking with ground base wrestling which is a good thing to me. The high flying style just doesn't fit him. 4/5

3 on 1 handicap match.
Mcmahons and Umaga vs. Lashley
The only reason I dont truly hate this match is because its short. Lashley is just garbage and thats all it is to it. What I hate the most is how Umaga is being used now. He went from the unstoppable, undefeated monster, with victories over Flair, Triple H, Michaels, and Kane. To a mere jobber for a newcomer and Lashley's whooping boy. It seems he cant even beat Lashley without the Mcmahons in his corner. P*sspoor match, graced with a quick ending. 2/5 and the biggest low point of the whole ppv.

CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke
A pretty decent match but I expected more from these two. It was a bit too long and seemed to drag. Even at times the crowd wasn't even in to it. 3/5

Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton
These two have had better. But this wasn't even a match. Randy jumped Michaels earlier. Plus Michaels was selling his concussion that he got a week ago to the fullest. The match was fast as he**. That RKO at the end was murder though. 3/5

The Hardy's vs Cade and Murdoch
Once again the Hardy's deliver but this match is kind of weak next to other matches. Cade and Murdoch in my opinion are underrated. I've enjoyed most of their tag team matches. The only thing I'm not feeling is Murdoch trying to pull off the Canadian Destroyer. Please let Petey Williams execute his own move thank you. Still a pretty solid match. 3/5

Edge vs. Batista

Why is Batista still getting title shots every ppv?! I can think of anyone who can match Edge's style in the ring and have spectacular matches. This match was mediocre at best and could have easily been on Smackdown. Nothing special here at all. 2.5/5

Chris Benoit vs. MVP 2 out of 3 falls
This match saved my life. It fell very short from their previous matches. Especially the one they had at Wrestlemania. Still it was pretty good and they blended very well together. Lots of counters and submissions were utilized. For me, this was the match of the night. 4/5

Cena vs. Khali
What the he11 is Khali doing main eventing?! My god if it wasn't for the length of this match, I don't think I could have watched this all the way through. The only high point was Cena's resourcefullness to chop down The Great Khali using the ring steps. Otherwise, nothing too special about this match either. 2.5/5.

This ppv was a step down from the last one. And this is proof the wrong guys is being pushed. Hopefully the wwe bookers step their game up.

Judgment Day 2007 Dissappoints.......2007-06-06

Randy orton n Hbk Fought in a no contest. reason hbk collapsed after suffering an injury.

80-76%-prefect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful

1. Carlito vs. Rick Flair- I thought this was an okay match to start off the show. I was expecting this match to be a little better conxsidering carlito had just turned heeel again and I was expecting a little bit of a better performance out of him. This match was really slow with Carlito working on flairs arm a lot. Flair was able to fight back and get the win but this one was to slow for me and not enough action for a carlito match. Winner Carlito. Match Rating 5.5/10.
2. Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon and Umaga vs. Bobby Lasley for the ECW World Title- So we move on from a disappointing match to a match that sucked even worse. I was expecting a decent match but this was worse than backlash. The entrances were longer than the match itself. Also the ending was pointless because even though Lashley won the match McMahon said Lashley had to pin him so the match meant nothing. Skip this crap ECW has turned god awful. Winner Bobby lashley. Match Rating 1.5/10.
3. CM Punk vs. Elige Burke- So we finally get a match that is decent and go figure its an ECW match. These two had been fighting and feuding for a while. This was just a solid match with some hard hitting wrestling. Good match. Winner CM Punk. Match Rating 7/10.
4. Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michales- Here we go again. Another crap match. The thing is this one could have been good but Shawn Michales was hurt. So instead of taking this match off the card and putting on a smackdown tag match we leave this on the card and of course it sucks. This match was like 4 minutes long but there was no action at all. I was happy to see orton get the win in this hometown but another bad decision to book this match when Shawn was hurt. Winner Randy Orton. Match Rating 2/10.
5. The Hardy Boyz vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch for the world tag team titles- This was a good match. In fact in my opinion this was the match of the night. I really liked the way this was set up. The card was doing bad so far and these guys steeped there game up. I think about a 15 minute match which was pleanty of time for these guys. Lots of high flying moves by the hardys which made this match fast pace. There were tons of near falls in this match including a spinebuster that I thought the hardys had lost there titles. Still a great match. Winner and still World Tag team champs the hardy boyz. Match Rating 8/10.
6. Edge vs. Batistia for the WHT- This match I was looking forward to considering this was coming off edges hot title win and just a lot of hype behind it. Unfortunately this did not live up to the hype. One reason is because this match was only given 9 minutes. That is smackdowns title match only 9 minutes. This was worked on mostly batistias leg. Batistia fought back hit a spine buster but out of know were Edge rolled him up for the win which was a huge shock. Winner and still WHC Edge. Match Rating 5.5/10.
7. Chris Beniot vs. MVP for the US title- This was another match that I was looking forward to this one was accualty not that bad. They had so many great matches coming into this one so I was expecting a match of the year did not get that at all but this was still not that bad of a match. MVP controlled this whole match which was the main reason it was hard to watch at times. MVP won the first and second fall which was why I did not like this match as much cause it was not competitive. Still a good match though. Winner and new US Champ MVP. Match Rating 7.5/10.
8. John Cena vs. The Great Kalih for the WWE title- This was the third main event title match that sucked. That's right I do not know why this was the main event or why Kalhi was in the main event. There were so many things wrong whit this match including that the match was only 8 minutes long. Kalhi controlled this whole match except for the very end Cena hit the steps in Kalhis knee and than brought him in and Kalhi tapped. This was a horrible ending considering cena never even affected Kalhi and Cena pulls out another BS win. Lokk I do not like Kalhi but I am sick of Cena winning every time. This ending sucked and so did the ppv. Winner and still WWE champ John Cena. Match Rating 5/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give Judgment day 2007 a grade of 42/80 which means this is a awful ppv. This is the first time in a long time that I have ever gave out that grade but when all of your main titles combine for a total of 20 minutes that is sad and just a poor booked event. Try and avoid to get this. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not I would appreciate that. Thanks for your time.

buying wwe judgment 2007 for edge he rules .......2007-05-24

Judgment Day 2007.......2007-05-24

Carltio vs. Ric Flair
-- good opener. Nice to see Ric Flair win with the figure 4 leg lock
:winner Ric Flair
7/10
Lashley vs. Umaga and the Mcmahons(C) for the ECW title
-- Lashley dominated this 3 minute match and gets screwed in the end.
:winner Lashley (but doesn't win the title)
4/10
CM. Punk vs. Elijah Burke
-- a good match between two great wrestlers. A little longer than
expected but good nonetheless.
:winner CM Punk
7/10
Murdock/Cade vs. The Hardys (C) for the Tag team titles
-- match of the night (which says how bad this ppv was). The hardys
always give good matches and Murdock/Cade stepped it up in this match.
:winner The Hardys (retain the titles)
8/10
Randy Orton vs. HBK
-- this was horrible. If HBK wasn't gonna wrestle, then find a replacement
This wasn't a match.
:winner Randy Orton (by default)
4/10
Batista vs. Edge (C) for the World Heavyweight Title
-- another horrible match. Judgment Day is usually a Smackdown
ppv, so why isn't this match in the main event? There was no chemistry
between Batista and Edge.
:winner Edge retains (without cheating, surpising isn't it)
6/10
MVP vs. Beniot (2/3 falls)for the U.S. title
--Why is this match after the world title match? Vince is dumb!! This
match was bad. The overall theme of this ppv is "bad". Nothing special
happened in this match.
:winner and New U.S. Champ MVP
5/10
The Great Khali vs. Cena for the WWE Championship
--This match sucked!!!!!!! Cena is a worthless piece of crap who "rapped"
his way to the title. He is the reason people are watching TNA. He does
a total of about 4 moves and wins. He is horrible. The Great Khali is
horrible too although he surpised me with some moves in this match.
:winner and still WWE Champ John "I can't wrestle" Cena
4 1/2 out of 10
This ppv sucked, plain and simple. DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY ON THIS CRAP.

Customer Reviews:

Judgement Day 2006.......2007-03-10

(WWE Tag Team Championship)
MNM vs Paul London and Brian Kendrik:A good opening match. Paul and Brian are like the Rey of Tag Teams. Great ending as well. 8/10

Chris Benoit vs Finlay:This was a filler match, plain and simple, but Chris Benoit is awsome in any match. Hooray for bias reviews! 7/10

Jillian Hall vs Melina:I said it before and I'll say it again. Catfights are way too overated! 2/10

Gregory Helms vs Super Crazy:Is Helms even a Cruiserweight? That guy is an ox compared to Super Crazy. This was a gimme. 5/10

Kurt Angle vs Mark Henry:I didn't want to see them fight for the Heavyweight Belt,so would I want to see them fight now? At least they aren't in the main event 4.5/10

(King of the Ring Finals)
Bobby Lashley vs Booker T:Lashley had this match. Until a certain irish fella comes out for no reason to ruin things. All hail King Booka!! 6/10

Undertaker vs The Great Khali:This was a gimme. That's been happening at lot tonight. 4/10

(World Heavyweight Championship)
Rey Mysterio vs JBL:Rey is his usual high flying self in this match. A respectable length time and good performances from Rey and JBL make this a reasonable main event. Bravo. 8.5/10

Overall:Quantity over quality kept this from becoming a classic. There were a lot of average matches rather than a few great ones.A strong start and finish earn you an extra 1/2 star though. 6.5/10

The Birth Of KING BOOKER & The Death Of MNM In One Show.......2006-09-05

My SmackDown PPV streak continues as this was the fourth SmackDown PPV in a row that was overall a great PPV. In ways, it's ironic that WWE focuses more on RAW but yet, SmackDown PPV's are better quality than the RAW ones in the past year.

WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Brian Kendrick & Paul London - Great tag team match and one of the best ones in WWE in recenty memory. Honestly, I'm not acting like it's the greatest of all time but it's really a great match but unfortunally, it also ended with the breakup of MNM.

Chris Benoit vs. Finlay - This match is a perfect for those who are fans of professional wrestling (not sports entertainment) and gave you a great mat based wrestling match.

Jillian Hall vs. Melina - This was a good womens match & one of the best ones in the past year. Little people know that Melina & Jillian are trained to wrestle so you don't have to expect any of that T&A wrestling that Torrie & Candice or sit through a horrible match like you see with the diva search girls do.

Crusierweight Champion Gregory Helms vs. Super Crazy - Crazy is one of the most underutilized wrestlers in WWE today while you don't see alot of Gregory Helms these days eventhough he's Crusierweight Champion so this was the "sleeper" match of the night as these two put on a great show as Crazy does his lucha style while Helms uses at his mat wrestling. This was one of the matches that proves if WWE was to push this division more than what they normally do now, it clearly has the possibility to overshadow TNA's X Division.

Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry - Just like most Mark Henry matches, it's good if the other wrestler does alot of selling & the match is short. This was no exception as Angle sold his injured ribs while Henry just beat him down. The match result was kinda jip (nobody pays money to see DQ & countout endings) but the attack afterwards made up for it.

King Of The Ring Final: Bobby Lashley vs. Booker T - Both men brought their A game here & put on the best match possible. ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!

Undertaker vs. Great Khali - All I'm gonna say about this is that Taker did his best but Khali just sucks period. It was basically Khali countering all of Taker's offence while getting in a few WEAK punches and kicks here & there. It's watchable & Khali is at least better than Kenzo Suzuki so I've seen worse so I'll give the match some credit.

WWE Champion Rey Mysterio vs. J.B.L. - This match was a step below their match months ago at No Mercy because throughout Mysterio's whole title reign, he was booked as the underdog because of his size instead of being able to hold his own. JBL dominated the match with Mysterio making the big comeback.

DVD extras included a quick backstage confrontation between Chavo & Eddie's widow Vicki Guerrero, an interview with Khali & Davari, and Booker being crowned King Booker on SmackDown!

Again a PPV that I can watch over & over again, recommended.

Diva Match Only.......2006-08-13

Jillian Hall vs Melina

This match was pretty good. Execpt that when Melina hit the Tornado Facebuster she should've won that's why i give it a 3.

I went to this pay per view, this was one of the best pay per view i have ever been to. It happen on sunday may 19, 2002 at the Gaylord Entertainment center
The best macth was the hell in a cell macth with hhh and Chris Jericho

Great PPV.......2007-01-13

This is a really great ppv. Its just to damn bad its hard to get. There are three great matches on this card which are:

Edge vs Kurt Angle
Eddie Guerrero vs RVD
Triple H vs Jericho

This ppv is worth your money.

WHAT!?!?!?.......2007-01-01

You're kidding me.You must be INSANE if you're crazy enough to buy this.Sure, I have this PPV (I got it for free because my friend Zack ordered the PPV back in 2002 and taped it).All I have to say is that if you're planning on buying this PPV for that crazy price of $100 or more is that it's not worth it.Maybe if it was $30, but not $100.

Anyways pretty much the only matches worth the money is Austin vs. Flair & Big Show and HHH vs. Jericho HIAC (Hell In A Cell)

Great PPV, But NOT worth $100.00+ .......2006-12-11

Ok, this is a great PPV. THE HITC was great, the Flair match with Austin was fun..BUT There is no way this DVD is that rare! $100.00 to $200.00, give me a break! The MAX this should be is in the $40.00 range. I hope that WWE gets smart and decides to re-release this and thus kill the market for this old copy.

Great PPV, But Not Worth 100 Bucks.......2006-10-18

I was scrolling through here looking at WWE DVDs, just seeing if there were any old ppvs I might want, and I saw they were selling this for around $130, and that's just insane. Yes this was a great show, however, the most I'd buy it for is 40 bucks, possibly 50. Anyways, I thought I'd review this show because it seems like there isn't a decent review of the show, and some people are only posting about the high price it'll cost. I haven't done a review in a while, so here it goes:

Intercontinental Championship:
Eddie Guerrero Vs. RVD
This was an amazing opener. A lot of people only remember the ladder match these two had on Raw, where Rob won the IC title back. I believe this pay per view was right before that episode of Raw. Anyways, this match really proves that these two don't need a ladder to have a great match. This was truly a great wrestling match imo, and one I wish a lot more people could see. This match wasn't just high flying, it was more grounded to me, with even some great submissions work, which you don't expect from these two together in a match, especially RVD. ***1/2

Womens Championship:
Trish Stratus with Bubba Ray Vs. Stacy Keibler with D-Von
Eh, there isn't much to say about this match. It was short luckily. Trish did her best with working with Stacy, but Stacy still isn't much of a wrestler. It was at least somewhat entertaining. The only thing I really remember is Bubba being put through a table afterwards by D-Von and Batista. **

The Hardyz Vs. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman
If this match had been longer, I think it would of been better. But given it was only around 8 minutes long at the most, I'd say they did a decent job of the Hardyz looking like they gave their all and making Brock look unstoppable. It seemed like a couple of times the Hardyz might actually win, however Brock was too strong in the end, countering a lot of the Hardyz high flying tactics, which was impressive to say the least when it came to showing his strength. **1/2

Stone Cold Vs. Ric Flair and Big Show
This was a very entertaining match. Stone Cold was really holding well on his own at the beginning, and of course the numbers caught up with Stone Cold eventually but he could still handle them on his own for the most part. It kind of bugged me Show was in this match, since the feud was really between Flair and Stone Cold. To some this match holds a bit of historic purpose, since this was Stone Cold's last PPV match for a while because of him walking out on the WWE. Still a match worth watching. ***

Hair Vs. Hair Match:
Kurt Angle Vs. Edge
A great match between these two. These guys have had better matches during this feud, such as their match at Backlash a month before, or their cage match they had a few weeks later on Smackdown!, but still doesn't take away from the fact that this was a memorable match, mostly because this is where Angle got his head shaved (and wore that dumb wig for a few weeks). These two nonetheless made it seemed like this match mattered to them in the ring and put on a tremendous effort of giving us a great match. ****

Hell In The Cell
Chris Jericho Vs. Triple H
I've seen pretty much every HIAC match there is (except for Unforgiven 2006, which I'll see soon), and this is definately in my top 3 list for favorite HIACs. It really bugs me how this is one of the least talked about HIACs, when these guys really made this a brutal and unforgettable HIAC. These guys really needed to step up the brutality too because in almost all the HIACs before, someone always came off/went through the top of the cell. These guys did some great things such as HHH swinging a chair at Jericho while he was holding a ladder, DDT through the announce table, a brutal (was that real barbwire?!) barbwired 2x4 shot to Jericho's head on the top of the cell, and of course the ending, a Pedigree on top of the cell. Jericho's expression after that ending says it all. Truly the match worth buying this DVD for. Without a doubt their best match during their feud. *****

World Tag Team Championship:
Billy and Chuck Vs. Rikishi and Rico
Boring match. It was really pointless. Rikishi was having a feud with B&C and Rikishi's secret tag partner was of course B&C's manager, Rico. The ending to this match is pretty interesting, with Rikishi and Rico actually winning the tag titles, however it's still not enough to make you want to watch the entire match. *1/2

WWE Championship Match:
Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan
This one is really tough to call. I really think that these two tried to have a great match, but in the end it was just not working out that way. The match was slow and had a good bit of botched spots, such as Taker's first Chokeslam on Hogan. I was very impressed when Hogan hit that Superplex on Taker. Add that with some of the great counters in this match, such as Taker countering the Leg Drop into a single leg crab, and I do believe these guys tried to have a good match, but like I said, it really wasn't working. In the end, just like 10 years ago at Sur. Series 92', Taker pulled off the win and won the title. **1/2

Also incase your wondering, the extras on this DVD are post-match interviews with the Hardyz, Bubba, and D-Von, as well as clips of HHH answering questions about his match and feud with Jericho on Byte This, and finally a Sunday Night Heat match for the European Championship with William Regal defending against D'lo Brown. The DVD itself is definately worth checking out. I'm sure it's impossible to rent, but if you can, go for it, and if you can buy it (at a decent price), I would definately recommend it. I believe the only reason this pay per view isn't bigger in other peoples' eyes, and the reason most of these matches aren't really talked about, is only because you could only buy this DVD at WWEShopzone and no where else. Luckily I bought it a few months after it came out at shopzone and haven't regretted it since. Definately a memorable, important, and all around fantastic show in my eyes. I really hope this review helped you guys and girls. Take care.

He DID come back!.......2007-01-04

The governor of California never looked more impressive. The film is the consummate blend of science fiction and superhero. The opening is as fine a science fiction facade as one could hope for, the balance of the film basically a cops and robbers story with special effects. If you dig that(and who doesn't) then this is a must for your film library.

Description

T2 - 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. TOTAL RECALL- Get ready for the ride of your life! This Special Edition DVD allows you to experience TOTAL RECALL the way it was meant to be seen and heard. Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as Quaid, a 2084 construction worker haunted by dreams of Mars in this crowd-pleasing science fiction spectacle. Against the wishes of his sexy blonde wife (Sharon Stone), Quaid goes to Rekall, a company that implants artificial memories, so he can "remember" visiting the red planet that is now being settled by human inhabitants. However, Quaid is actually an amnesiac secret agent from Mars - or is he?

Baby, you make me wish I had three hands........2007-03-11

Normally when I see a double/triple feature DVD like this I don't even bother to pick it up, because 99% of the time they are Full Screen, non Dolby versions of films I don't care that much about.

But T2 and Total Recall on one disc? I saw this on the shelf of a local DVD retailer and was intrigued enough to flip over the case.

Not only are these Widescreen, 5.1 versions, they both have a ton of extras included for a 2fer. Seriously. I was pretty impressed.

Total Recall:

1:85:1 Ratio
5.1 and 2.0 Dolby
Commentary w/Arnold and Verhoven
'Imagining' Documentary
Rekall's Virtual Vacations
'Visions of Mars' Featurette
Visual Storyboard comparisons
Conceptual Art

Production Notes
Theatrical Trailers & TV Spots
Cast & Crew Info

T2:

2:35:1 Ratio
5.1 Dolby EX
Dolby Headphone Track (sweet!)
16 Minutes of bonus footage
Commentary w/Cameron and Wisher
Interactive Mode

Considering that these are two of the greatest Sci-Fi Action films of the late 20th/early 21st centuries, this price is more than fair. This is only the second time I've seen a similar collection include quality versions of films with sufficient bells and whistles to actually make buying the disc seem like a good idea.

I was going to get the Deluxe version of T2, but this is just too good of a deal to pass up, imo. Of course if you are a fanatic for the Terminator franchise I would suggest skipping this and spending the extra $. But if you are more of a casual fan, this is the way to go.
