As with it's companion release, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, it was impossible to approach TriStar Home Video’s recent DVD release of “Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monster All-Out Attack” without feeling a little apprehensive.  After all, it was TriStar’s parent company Sony which gave us the finely packaged, but poorly executed Godzilla DVD Box Set (see Godzilla: The Ultimate DVD Collection review).  But happily as with Megaguirus, TriStar has given us a quality release.
    As with the Megaguirus DVD, the artwork on the cover, which is a photo-montage of the monsters and pricipal actors, is not overly impressive, but once again fans will not be disappointed when they pop this DVD into their players.  As with the previous release, the case contains no booklet or other background material.  As with their other Godzilla DVD releases, the case only contains a single card with the chapter selections on one side and promotional photos of the DVD covers from “Godzilla 2000,” the double Godzilla DVDs (Ghidorah/Mothra, SpaceGodzilla/Destroyah) GINO (TriStar’s Godzilla), and “Godzilla vs. Megaguirus.”  The disc itself however, while not loaded with as many extras as their “Godzilla 2000” DVD, will not disappoint.
        The film is presented in its 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen format, with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and 100% complete, including end credits.  Once again, the sound quality is perfect, as is the picture quility, and up to the high standard one has come to expect from a DVD.  But if the excellent picture quality and sound quality were not enough, once again both the English dubbed, as well as the original Japanese, sound tracks are available.  In addition the English sub-titles are optional, meaning that one can watch the film in Japanese with or without the titles, which are nicely located at the bottom of the screen. 
        There are however, a few drawbacks.  As with the Megagurius release, the sub titles are of the English dubbed soundtrack and do not represent a direct translation of the Japanese version.  In addition, the dubbing of the film is not up to par with that of the Megaguirus DVD, with several setions of dialogue coming off as over the top and silly.  Also, the version of the film presented on the disc contains only the English language credits, and fans who had hoped to have the original Japanese version, with Japanese credits, will be disappointed.  The "trailers" are the same as the Megagurius DVD, and consists of several of TriStar’s non-Godzilla titles and GINO (one wonders why they did not include trailers from their other Godzilla releases).  The price is also a little steep.  At $24.95 retail (or even the $17.41 discount price), the DVD is stilled priced higher than the “import” versions, which feature the actual Japanese version, with direct translated sub-titles. 
        Again, for the purist, who wants only the original Japanese version with direct (or as near direct), sub-titling, the "import" DVDs are your better bet, especially as they're priced almost $10.00 cheaper.  The average fan however, who enjoys watching these films dubbed, then there is very little one can complain about regarding this disc.  Overall however, TriStar has really hit the mark with this DVD release.
