Resident Evil Trilogy 1-3



Special Features
I love the Resident Evil movies. Sadly the details of this listing do not reference any special features. I reluctantly purchased this title hoping to find some special features. However my expectations were far exceeded. There was over 90 minutes of special featuers on each disk. They were as follows:

Resident Evil
Blu Wizard - allows you to customize your playlist of which special features to view either in a queue or during the movie itself.
Playing Dead:Resident Evil from the Game to the Screen - 3 Separate Documentaries
Featurettes - 8 Different Featurettes
Camera Test - 2 Documentaries
Storyboarding Resident Evil - 3 Storyboards
Costumes - 2 Documentaries
The Making of Resident Evil - 7 Making of Segments
Music Video - "My Plague" by Slipknot
Alternate Ending
Commentaries - 2 Different Commentaries
Subtitles - 4 Different Languages
Previews

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Blu Wizard - allows...

Tech Review
Even though the Amazon listing says there are 4 discs mine only had 3 and the packaging is designed to hold only 3 discs. The box even says 3 disc set on the side. Which is fine it has what you want the 3 movies. I did submit to Amazon that they change the listing.

I almost didn't buy this set because of an other review saying that one of the movies was full screen, which I hate, having all widescreen TV's, but the Apocalypse DVD has both wide and full screen on it, so I was a happy camper. All 3 are anamorphic widescreen. The first movie is 1.85:1 so it will fill a widescreen TV. Apocalypse and Extinction are both 2.40:1 so you will still get black bars on the top and bottom even on a widescreen TV.

If you're like me and own a Sony 400 disc or Pioneer 301 disc DVD changer you'll like that it does have title text and a jacket picture on all 3 discs, so you won't have to type in the name or make a backup just so you can add the name to the disc. (come on disc...

Great for Fans
Three movies, one box. Very enjoyable. My only real complaint is the box in itself is a bit lacking (just three disks, no insert or additional literature) and that the disks are arranged a bit awkwardly (Extinction is on one side, first two movies are overlapped on the other). If you are a RE fan, I highly recommend it.
