Text on the left and right of my screen was lost, and this effect was noticed on multiple, properly-calibrated displays. These shots are the only place the effect is really noticeable, but if this IS a case of improperly preserved aspect ratio on DVD, it's disappointing, given the quality elsewhere. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio on this DVD is also excellent. The soundtrack is well-mixed, and creates a nicely immersive audio environment to accompany the visuals. There is generous use of the rear channels, and panning effects, without being gimmicky - a very natural and motivated soundfield is the result.
Dialogue is clear at all times, and there is good solid bass when necessary and appropriate.
All in all, a very good listening experience. 5 trailers are also included on the disc - one for each of the 4 films in the series, as well as a Fox Interactive trailer for their upcoming Alien Resurrection videogame, for PCs and the Sony Playstation. It's hard to explain - you'll have to see it for yourself. I would rather have had film-grounded visuals, but I suppose that's a minor complaint. You also get a full-color booklet in the packaging, and the Alien Legacy animation, which plays when you first start the disc.
