I really hope this is fake as the one on the left hand side is devoid of grain and looks super waxy DNRed to death. More like claymation. All I can see is contrast boosting, sharpening and extreme noise reduction.
If you check out the images in post #11 you'll notice that it's not just a case of tweaking the contrast etc. of this 4K re-master but rather something more significant as in the addition of cropped picture information missing on previous releases.
I think we can safely assume this new 4K re-mastered 25th Anniversary release will be an improvement on the "DNR-less" the best current edition:-
As Dam Mintz the CEO of China based DMG Entertainment - one of the two companies behind the 3D conversion / restoration - said last year:-
"For a whole new generation of fans, it is truly a chance to see the movie that really set the bar for action and effects that all the movies today are trying to top, in a completely new way — in the theater and in 3D . . . We are committed to making the conversion the highest quality in order to live up to the expectations of the film’s many fans around the world.”

RE: RELEASE DATE: Don't know if 5th October has any significance but a late August release date would be most appropriate:-
August 29th 1997: The day Skynet first became self aware.
August 29th 2016: the day we first saw the brand new poster for Terminator 2 in 3D.
As for the shotgun, the Winchester 1887, the gun in the poster looks a bit suspect . . . bringing to mind (to a far lesser degree) the Tommy gun on the latest SCARFACE steelbook . . .
Wondering if they'll use that poster above for the steelbook artwork . . . and at how a steelbook will look compared to some of the others seen here. Massive 3D logo on the front?:-
