Both commentaries are available on the theatrical version only. Additionally, there are three deleted scenes; an AVP Promo entitled the 23-minute "The Making of Alien Vs.

      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a sharp and detailed image, with satisfying textures and definition throughout. Colors are well balanced, with nicely balanced fleshtones and deep blacks. At times the picture can have an undersaturated appearance. Minor smearing is noticed, and occasional edge enhancement is apparent in the higher contrast scenes. Pixelization is limited, as the picture is mostly smooth and clean. This is a great science fiction battle with a very satisfying picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #71 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before reading WSR I was an electronics nebbish. After reading WSR for more than a year, my friends and family consult me on purchasing TVs, sound systems, DVD players, and DVDs. I explain to them the differences between HDTV ready and capable, how to select a TV, DVD, and sound system and recommend that they become an expert like me by buying a copy of WSR. My life has new meaning!
