12 Monkeys: Collector's Edition | = |
There are two Region 1 DVDs in existence for this film. There is the Collector's Edition which is the comparative version to the Region 4 release. The only substantive difference between the two is the slightly different theatrical trailer and the usual language and subtitle options. Direct comparison between these two versions indicates that the Region 4 version has a slightly smoother looking picture (the usual difference between PAL and NTSC formatting) and a slightly better sounding soundtrack. Personally, having made the direct comparison, I would plump wholeheartedly for the Region 4 version. The other Region 1 DVD is a barebones effort with a DTS soundtrack in place of the Dolby Digital 5.1 effort. If your bent is towards excellence in sound and do not care for extras, then this is probably the choice for you. From what I can gather the DTS soundtrack is excellent, but for me the loss of the extras package does not compensate for the additional excellence in the soundtrack - especially considering that the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack is very good anyway. |
