Earlier versions of this might have been poorer visual quality, but the one I got was seamless. I was relying purely on memory to identify which were the deleted scenes, because there was no visual tell at all. Moreover, these scenes really add a lot to the film, as I explained in my full review here: https://boxd.it/2yu8wL

This is absolutely a shelf-replacer, which is shocking for how old of a fanedit it is. I think this might be the oldest one that still absolutely holds up. The video doesn't quite approach 720p standards, but I think having a bit of grime serves the film well. This version now has a more gradual love story and more direct ties to the later films (just watch T-2 and Dark Fate), perfectly setting up the Terminator-verse, as well as perfectly standing on its own. I love this version, and will look forward to showing it to others!

Having loved the original Terminator without ever seeing the Special Edition DVD, and subsequently the deleted scenes, I'd always wondered when James Cameron would get off his ass and release a true-to-form Extended Cut of this movie. Oddly enough, I remember finding a copy Terminator: The Extended Edition ADM Edit on a DVD as a rental at a Hastings here where I live, believing it to be a genuine product, I rented it and was thoroughly impressed. I would love to be able to create a copy for myself now, with DVD Menu, Cover, etc... so I can add it to my collection.

This is a great edit that enhances the original. The opening to a sequel with the Cyberdyne scene: excellent; should have been in the original. Period. The love story between Kyle and Sarah is made wholly believable as you watch them both struggle with their destinies and come to grips with their loneliness and despair and seek solace in each other. And the addition of the cop beginning to believe Kyle is just fantastic. Amazing how much that adds to the film.

Audio and video quality are great. The inserted scenes are obviously re-inserted but do not detract from the enjoyment of the film.

Highly recommend it.

This extended edition doesn't replace the original version for me, but was a great way to rewatch one of my favorite movies.
