Video: The video is an impeccable anamorphic transfer & easily the best rendering you will find of these films. There were however a couple of problems, in GVs.Space G, the opening titles are pasted entirely too high & cut off the Kanji(script)for the name of the film. There is also a point where the edit was too low when Space G lands in the beginning of the film & about 25% of the image is chopped off. Lastly, When Moguera is fighting Space G there is a bit of cloudiness that envelopes the very top of the ship as it flies about Space G. Other than that, the films are OK.

Audio: The audio is a disappointing english dubbed version of each film. While they stayed pretty true to the original Japanese scripts, these discs would have really benefitted in a major way from the original Japanese language track-truly the only way to watch a Kaiju film! It's presented in a Dolby Digital surround that really, really gets you going. Not unlike the Warner Batman cartoon series audio, this sounds like it's more when it's really less.

Extras: Columbia Tri-star just missed the boat on these. With an incredible transfer these films could have been awesome discs had there been even a smidge of the supplemental material found on the Laserdisc editions of these movies. Unfortunately, there aren't even any trailers for these films included on the disc. The last "double feature" Godzilla films released by Columbia Tri-star did boast trailers in widescreen & in the original Japanese. The features themselves were badly cropped full frame versions of some pretty terrific films. At least they sprung for anamorphic transfers on these titles, now if we can only get them to spring for the extras & original language tracks we'll be in business.

Overall: These films have been available on the "grey" market for quite some time. I have been fortunate enough to own each of them in their original formats, with bonus supplemental materials. While these are without a doubt the best versions of the films from a video standpoint, they do not, in their current manifestation reflect the true heart of the films. Case & point, at the end of Toho Studios original production of Godzilla Vs. Destroyah, a retrospective of Godzilla is played with the incredible Akira Ifukube's score playing over it. The Columbia Tristar release plays maybe 20 seconds & goes to black. As a fan of Gojira & Kaiju films in general, I looked forward with anticipation for the release of these titles on DVD, and for the most part I am really satisfied with the discs and am glad to have them in my collection. But, I'm really glad that I have the originals still on VHS. There is a genuineness about those tapes that the discs do not embody.(maybe just a little too deep there!) The 90's brought The greatest Kaiju to ever stalk the screen back to life! This series of 7 films revitalized American interest in one of cinemas' most bankable stars. As a tried & true fan of the big guy, I may be a little biased in my expository on his films but these are really films that everyone will enjoy. All but one of the latest batch or "Heisei" series films have been released to DVD. The lone hold out is Godzilla Vs. MechaGodzilla, arguably the best of the entire series.) In any event, Godzilla is fun for everyone of every age. I recommend this to you should you fall into either of those categories.
