My guess is that the green tint may have been a mastering mistake but the over-all colder color palette was probably intentional. Plus as far as I know, they never admitted there was anything wrong with the colors, so I wouldn't expect a fixed version any time soon - the films came out as individual releases since, which would have been a great opportunity to fix the colors, since even people who have the boxed set, could just buy FOTR separately but that would mean they'd have to admit the timing to be wrong and then people could demand a replacement. And to market it as a remaster would be weird too, since the original EE BD release was already marketed as a remaster.

I have the boxset but would gladly shell out the money for a "fixed" version of FOTR if it were re-issued without the green.  Them not admitting the mistake makes total sense though. If it really was intentional, wow :(

Another version of Terminator 2 on Blu Ray? This will be the 3rd US release right?

Yes, and it's sorely needed - so far the best HD version of Terminator 2 is HDDVD - the first BD version is the same master as the HD DVD but suffers from some sort of artifacts that the HDDVD doesn't and the 2nd BD release (the one I was unfortunate enough to buy as it is the only one that came out in my country) has really horrible DVNR. And I mean like old school DVNR, motion smearing and everything - I downloaded a 12GB HDDVD rip of the movie and it beats the hell out of the BD I own :-/

Yeah I only have the first Blu release, held off on buying that "Skynet" version.  So many of these releases are disappointing :(

Was not the Terminator before the new BD ever recolor timed?  I mean to match the second film.  Seems to be something they do these days as they did it with the Matrix and Lord of the Rings.

Its a Cameron thing, he loves the teal look check out aliens! Plus coming soon The abyss, true lies, and terminator 2
