content: This DVD is a great bargain unless you are hard of hearing; then it's no deal at all. There are no subtitles or any other on-screen options in this bare-bones version DVD release. No previews, no sound or viewing option menus, and of course no subtitle selections; just "PLAY" and "CHAPTERS". The video quality of the DVD is perfectly acceptable and the sound seems OK (I'm not a good judge) but without subtitles for the hard-of-hearing I miss out on most of the dialogue, especially where the Ancient Enemy is talking in a highly modulated voice.The movie itself is highly entertaining. Not perfect but what film is, and it is very reminiscent of John Carpenter's "The Thing" - probably the best science fiction-suspense movie ever made.If you have perfectly good hearing then buy this DVD. If you're someone like me who's too cheap to buy a hearing aid, get the earlier 1998 release.
