Customer Reviews of Destroy All Planets

The picture quality on this DVD was better then I expected it to be after viewing the crappy print used on the War of the Monsters DVD from the same company. This one is much better.

The colors are pretty good considering the print used. I also picked up Gamera: Attack of the Monsters, which looks pretty good also...considering the budget release it is.

Unfortunatly, its full screen, instead of the original widescreen aspect ratio, which IS available on VHS! (that sucks weiners IMHO, why are we taking backwards steps here people?!? heheh)

So, if you like sci-fi flicks that remind you of weekend afternoon tv when you were a kid, or latenight tv when you were in college, or if you're just a fan of rubber monster movies, then grab this DVD while its out.

And... keep those fingers crossed for some widescreen attention to be paid to gamera!!!

Gamera double feature ...could be better.
I was glad to see "Destroy All Planets" (Gamera Vs. Viras) finally get released to video for the first time,
but disappointed with the quality. The film print has yellowed and the hue has shifted slightly red.
Bit of a drag, because it's the better of the two movies.
"War of the Monsters" (Gamera Vs. Guiron) the second film, was taken from a good quality print.
The colors are rich and vibrant, and the transfer is very sharp.
Both movies are on the same side of a dual-layered disk.
Each flick has six chapters, and amusing menu screens.
As an extra perk, there are two collections of promotion stills and Japanese movie posters. Both films have the original A.I.P. soundtracks, which are far superior to the versions re-dubbed by Sandy Frank in the 1980's. Unfortunately, these movies were released directly to television and mastered on 16mm, so the prints are somewhat grainy, and not widescreen. But what do ya want? We're talking about a giant fire-breathing, saber-toothed, prehistoric, flying turtle here. I predict this disk will end up being a collector's item, like the Simitar-Godzilla DVDs that sold out. If you're a Gamera fan, get this before it disappears.

Let the Battle Begin
First off for 6-8 dollars for this dvd the really is nothing to complain cus your getting an gamera vs viras which is kinda rare due it never been release before.GAMERA is back again when he runs into you can say a ALien ship which they want to invade earth to steal its resources and claim it as there own.Gamera destroys the first ship but they sent another ship to complete the mission but when it comes down to it the leader has to take care of the situation itself and fights gamera to the end.Basically the showa series showed more action and not a lot of kid action as in some other gamera flicks.The monster action was very great and showed good special effect even they look cheesy you have to remind yourself that this was made a long time ago.The showa gamera series mark it self as entertaining the kids rather then a mature older audience thats why you see alot of kids acting a big part in every gamera series.This was indeed one of the best Gamera series to get so I would highly recommend it.
