I thought the extended edition on the accompanying BluRay looked lousy- the added scenes had a definite pink tone. I held onto my Skynet edition BluRay for this reason.
No it doesn't.
My guess is no.
I thought the Skynet Edition was the first BluRay. I don’t think the picture is awful, but it takes forever to get to the menu- the worst part of the release.That's my guess as well - I hoped for "absolute confirmation".
Only reason I wondered: I thought I'd reviewed all the BD versions of "T2" but I realized recently I'd never seen the 2006 original BD... which I didn't know existed. I thought "SkyNet" was the BD debut.
In the interest of "completism", I rented the BD from Netflix under the thought it'd be the 2006.
No - they sent the version that accompanied the 4K.
Which seems odd because Netflix doesn't carry 4K discs.
So why would they have a Blu-ray to rent that only came with a 4K they don't rent?
Which then made me wonder if the 4K's "toss-in" BD got a release I missed!
This is my biggest beef with too many 4Ks. The Lord of the Rings, for example. Peter Jackson had a new look in mind that he said would "unify" the trilogy. I respect Mr. Jackson. They're his movies. His last chance to get what he wants. But a big part of the pleasure I get from these movies is that they fundamentally don't change. Altering the color palette is, in some way, more disturbing than editing a scene out of the recent release of The French Connection because it was deemed racist. Yes, the scene is missing, and I hate that, but I don't ever see the scene because it's gone. There's nowhere else to look at The Lord of the Rings except the images. Every frame looks different not only from the way I saw it multiple times in the theater, but from the way it looked on the DVDs and Blu Rays I have watched for decades. And that's not okay to me as an audience member or a consumer.
