The film was calibrated in 4K by Skip, Cameron’s colorist, at Technicolor Hollywood using a selection of the best 35mm prints from the film’s first release. The entire process was supervised by Geoff Burdick from Lightstorm Entertainment (Cameron’s production company).

Some visual effects changes have been made to the film; Cameron has said in interviews that his only major visual effects alteration was retaining the glass windshield of the truck in the LA river canal scene until it is pushed out by the T-1000, for continuity purposes. But there also appears to be some stunt double face replacement work for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 character and other minor fixes.

Conversion: getting to work on greatness

Stereo D has worked on many old and new film conversions, but President William Sherak says Terminator 2 is one that stands out. “It’s so much fun when you get to work on the great, great films, and this is one of those. It just holds up. Jim shoots with so much depth that when you get your hands on it you can really play with all his visual cues.”
