It didn't look very HDish, just not VHS-bad anymore. HD is not all the same, and 1080p is particularly resolute. The Terminator SE cover here says ..."High-Definition Master", nice and...

OK, I never heard a stereo Terminator track until the Terminator SE 5.1 track.

Does anyone like the 5.1 Terminator SE track?

It really is the worst-sounding in-terms of dynamicness of sound I've ever heard. It's still the only DVD I've ever played (own or rental) whose 5.1...

Yeah, GuessWho. The lack of a 5,1 track from any film with action scenes is shameful on the studio behind the DVD mastering and production process.
