Got a chance this past year to see a special screening of T2 in 70mm mag. The sound on it was a revelation. Content wise, definitely the same as the AC3 LaserDisc/DVD. It’s really hard to describe the quality because mag just sounds so unique. I have personally never heard the movie sound that good. I think if you have a good sound system and do some good tweaking, you can get those two home mixes sounding pretty darn close to the mag.

As for image, the THX LaserDisc was pretty faithful to the look of the print to my eyes color wise, but the digital enhancement and grain reduction was something I always felt ruined T2 at home. Seeing a print confirmed this to me. The Blu-ray, in all its iterations, is a joke.
