'''Trailer''': In a darkly-lit environment, we zoom in toward a glassy blue sphere, which has clouds rolling and lightning flickering. As the environment illuminates, we see that the sphere is barely hovering over a textured blue floor. Suddenly, the sphere shatters, and the sky is revealed to contain several rolling gray clouds. The glass then liquefies and gathers in the center. Some lightning strikes it and forms a silver THX logo | '''Trailer''': In a darkly-lit environment, we zoom in toward a glassy blue sphere, which has clouds rolling and lightning flickering.

Then, the environment fades to black as a shimmering blue rectangle is drawn clockwise around it (like a laser). The logo fades out as the URL www.thx.com fades in. | ||
'''Trivia''': If you look closely while the THX logo forms, you can see rain pouring down. | |||

*For the 2.35:1 version of this trailer, the glass pieces look more stretched out. | |||
*On some releases, after the THX logo fades out, the text "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" (from the Broadway trailer) appears in the blue line. From 2001 to 2005, "Lucasfilm" was seen above the THX logo, similar to the Lucasfilm Ltd. byline's appearance on the 1995 "Broadway" logo variant. This was removed in late 2005 due to reflecting the 2002 split from Lucasfilm as mentioned above. | *On some releases, after the THX logo fades out, the text "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" (from the Broadway trailer) appears in the blue line.

*On the DVD release of ''Terminator 2'', the metallic rectangle with the T2 logo carved out appears, zooming toward us. Then, the rectangle gets shot into pieces by the T-800, as seen on the reflection. The pieces then turn into liquid metal like the T-1000 and form the THX logo. After that, the THX logo fades out, and then it contains a message reading "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature" appears one by one as each text fades out before the other. Also, the Deep Note in this variant (the ''Terminator 2'' variant) is the same as the Broadway 2000 version. This is also on the Blu-ray releases with some differences: the THX logo fades into the standard logo, the "DIGITALLY" and "MASTERED" (a la Broadway '95) are replaced with "CERTIFIED," and the www.thx.com URL with a copyright notice appears; which served as the basis of Cavalcade. It appears on the Ultimate, eXtreme, initial Blu-ray, and Skynet editions of this film, but not the 2015 remastered or 4K Blu-ray releases. | *On the DVD release of ''Terminator 2'', the metallic rectangle with the T2 logo carved out appears, zooming toward us.
