    Special Features
    Disc One of this two-disc Unrated Edition includes the same two previously released audio commentary tracks on the theatrical version. Beginning with the Pre-Production menu selection on Disc Two, there is a 26-minute AVP: The Beginning featurette with a branching video option (via a selectable icon) that takes you further into the pre-production of the film; a seven minute ADIT Workshop featurette, which reveals original footage before it looks scary; three storyboard galleries; and a concept art gallery. Moving on to Production, an astounding 59 minutes of additional making-of footage is available with branching video. There is also a seven-minute look at a Miniature Whaling Station, a 15-minute Facehuggers & Eggs featurette, and a four-minute making-a-scene featurette. A 10-minute Visual Effects Breakdown and three deleted scenes with optional commentary are found in the Post Production menu. Finally, there is an 11-minute highlight on the comic book and a 14-minute look at Monsters In Miniature with Todd McFarlane found under Licensing The Franchise; and an HBO Special and the theatrical and bonus trailers found under Marketing.

    Reason #64 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As a newbie to widescreen TVs and all they can be equipped with, I have been overwhelmed. Your magazine brings together a wealth of information for the new guy as well as the old dog. It has helped me pick out what home theatre products are right for me, as well as in my price range. I enjoy learning about these new products and different terms for their capabilities every month.
