: Despite early rumors of 30–40 minutes of extra footage, the final cut is only 3 minutes longer than the theatrical version. Key additions include:

The 2-disc Special Edition typically includes both versions of the film and roughly 30 minutes of bonus features, such as "Maximum Movie Mode" (a picture-in-picture commentary).

Slightly more graphic violence (e.g., a screwdriver stabbing). A brief topless scene featuring Moon Bloodgood.

: The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is described as "bombastic" and "intense". It features a powerful low-frequency range (LFE) that makes heavy use of subwoofers during action set pieces like the Harvester sequence. Collector's Value & Pricing

Extended dialogue in Resistance headquarters and a longer radio address by John Connor. 1080p Blu-ray Technical Performance

: Critics from High Def Digest and DVD Talk highlight the "practically flawless" transfer, noting exceptional detail in facial close-ups and the mechanical textures of the Terminators. The color palette is intentionally washed out and bleak (grays and browns), which is rendered with strong depth and dimensionality.
