King Kong Vs Godzilla
Region 1
Studio: Universal
Country: US
Format: NTSC
Year: 2005
Chapters: 18
Time: 92 Minutes
Size: Single Layer DVD 3.70GB

Video: **** / *****
Universal finally took action and got their rights back from Goodtimes and released this in it’s original 2.34:1 aspect ratio. It’s also 16x9 which makes this a first for King Kong Vs. Godzilla in the US. The print quality is somewhat decent, there’s specks that covers the image in some spots. Sadly, we only have the US edit by John Beck and not the uncut Japanese version. The movie has three switchable subtitle tracks; English, Spanish, and French.

Audio: **½ / *****
There is only a 2-Ch. English audio track and it seems to be remastered. I wish that there was more…

Special Features: 0 / *****
None

Overall: ***½ /*****
Universal did a good job but the DVD is comparable to the quality of a SONY DVD. This is part of a two pack with King Kong Escapes.
