Formatting on 2nd and 3rd discs are faulty -- buyer beware
My one star rating is not an indication of the quality of the films (the merits of all 3 movies stand on their own) and the chance to have the BTTF Trilogy in one nice package is certainly a great idea. Unfortunately Universal, when creating the transfers for the 2nd and 3rd movies, managed to improperly matte the films. This means that the image area you are seeing is NOT the theatrical release. These problems have existed since the R2 versions were released 6 months ago, but Universal decided they didn't want a new transfer process to interfere with their Q4 Holiday profits and are banking on the fact that most people won't notice the problem or won't care even if they do. If you have the current DVDs you will be able to have them replaced. You can call Universal at 888-703-0010 for information on the replacement process. (New DVDs won't arrive until late February. Thanks, Universal!) This is a poor showing by a studio who once produced quality DVDs.
