Well I don't know the color of the backlight or the exposure of the camera used to take those shots but I bet thats a bit closer to what the theatrical prints of T2 then any home video version. Not perfect but closer.

Sadly, I was given a chance to get a 35mm print for around 600 US but couldn't afford it at the time. Believe it or not the 8mm is more expensive. Somewhere around 700. Full length, scope 8mm are rarer and widely sought since people can play at home without the big expensive 35mm equipment. It would probably be easier and cheaper to buy a 35mm print.

I think computers can get very close but can't match chemical timing perfectly. It's not the chemical timing is better or worse, it's just chemical and computer timing are different beasts.

And a bit off topic but still in the Cameron world. I posted these pics on fanres as to what Aliens looked liked in theaters:

8mm

35mm

Looks closer to the bluray then any of the other home video versions. Seems to be a color theme developing concerning Cameron's films.
