After a Sony logo, the menu a static image where you select which of the two films on that disc you'd like to watch. Films one through three simply have text below that says closed captions are available, assuming you're watching on a device capable of displaying them. The final film has a toggle under the films title where you can switch them on or off.

Compression seems fine on all four films. Colors are rather dull, but that's mostly an design choice. All the films are decently sharp, maybe a touch soft due to the resolution. Contrast/brightens seem fine on all films but the second one, where dark scenes seem a bit too light. With areas that should be black more grey-ish. Film grain is present, most notably on the first three films with the first having quite thick granular grain.

The cover features Leon & Claire posing back-to-back in the foreground, while in the background we have have renders of the zombies in the airport, along with the plane in the bottom right, all of which all of which are shrouded in a mixture of darkness & flames. It's a nice cover, and fits the theme and tone very nicely. The back is pretty standard, with some renders, screenshots, and a description of the film. Tech specs are at the very bottom, with a list of extras in the middle under the screenshots.

With the film being all CG, it looks very clean and clear. It's not particularly sharp, but no super blurry either. It definitely has a slightly smoothed over look to it, also with a minute amount of edge enhancement. The bitrate was, on average, about four and a half megabits per second, but the CG compresses very well.

The cover is layer out similarly to the previous film, with the main cast posing in the foreground and a Licker in the background. Behind all the renders is the ruined city from he film. The back has a render of Leon with a description of the films & a list of extras, with the tech specs at the bottom.

Featured are several languages, all of which are 5.1 surround sound. I love when movies included all sorts of language tracks, it's just fun to listen to all of them and hear the differences! My only complaint is that there is no Japanese dub. Although it's a Japanese franchise, the language the mouth movements were made for was English, so it is the native language of the film and all others are dubs.

With a nice, clean, digital source, the average bitrate clocks in at about 5 MB/s, no noticeable artifacts appear throughout the film.

While I didn't enjoy this film as much as the previous one, maybe because it had both the nostalgic character of Leon & Claire, it was good. Better than most of the later live action ones!
