Superb video quality.

Despite what others have said about this DVD, the excellent quality of the video itself makes it a "5". We do have to remember that this is an old movie, but I feel that I've just seen it as it originally was in theaters. I used a 1080p hi-def TV and a blu-ray 1080p player, and I doubt that an actual blu-ray disk would be much better! The sound is fine, too, but I did not like the "sensurround" track, as it was flat except for the scenes containing earthquake noise, in which case it rattled the walls. The 5.1 track was good/loud enough, and was realistic.

Not bad But Not That Good Either

This motion picture was released in the USA on November 15 1974 starring Charlton Heston as Stewart Graff, Ava Gardner Remy Royce Graff, George Kennedy as Sergeant Lew Slade, and Lorne Greene as Sam Royce. The picture starts with the usual sunny day in Los Angeles California with your busy freeway and busy life style that people live in Los Angeles. Stewart Graff is working out when he's being harassed by his wife Remy. Stewart works for Remy dad Sam Royce who owns a big contractor company. Sergeant Lew Slade is a Peace officer who's always getting in trouble and ends up being suspended for numerous reason. Now some thoughts on this picture! The only thing different between this picture and The Towering Inferno was that picture was a fire and this was an earthquake. To me this movie was boring after the earthquake because the only drama left was who was going to die and who wasn't. Based on this I give this movie only 3 weasel stars because it just wasn't that interesting.

Great movie, terrible DVD package

This is one my favorite movies but Universal blew it again with the DVD transfer. They fail to realize the potential revenue that can be made from these classic films. The picture quality is pretty good for a 70's movie but the movie is still heavily edited from the original version. There are so many scenes missing I couldn't even begin to list them all. There are NO extras, not even a trailer! The DVD was so poorly authored there is not even an audio or chapter menu! The sensuuround audio track is way too low even with the subwoofers maxed out. Universal should have released a 2 disc version with all existing footage included. A very disappointing release from Universal
