Tokyo Shock (Media Blasters) have easily bested the previous DVDs that were extremely poor (interlaced, only English DUB offered etc.) and we can also see the SDs were extremely cropped as well. This 2.41: aspect ratio Blu-ray is 1080P and housed on a single-layered disc with a decent bitrate. If I had to guess which colors were more accurate - I'd say the Blu-ray and that the DVDs were boosted and overly blue. But the HD transfer still seems flat and a bit dusty but in most respects this is surely far closer to the theatrical appearance of the film. This is probably a little faded but I thought it was 'alright' in-motion. Yellows and reds of the uniforms look acceptable but those monsters are always kicking up dust making those scenes appear more earthy brown.

A big bonus over the DVDs is the inclusion of the Japanese audio (although I still believe this is considered the 'US version') and Japanese title cards. It, and the oft-heard, English DUB are both available in lossless - and there are optional English subtitles (see sample).

We get a new (2011) commentary by Steve Ryfle (author of Japan's Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G") and Ed Godziszewski who talk up a storm about Destroy All Monsters , the 'Big G', Japanese monsters films and Ishirô Honda. Fans will definitely want to indulge - very interesting and entertaining. There is also an image gallery, production art and storyboards as well as a Promo Reel (2:04) and some 16mm footage (7:29.) Overall pretty good - nice to see some effort and the commentary is rewarding.
