Happy Birthday Annette. I just received the 1/25/05 widescreen release of the BTTF trilogy release on 1/27/05, from Amazon/Borders, and I am very pleased.I have viewed all three movies and some of the special features.My set up is a 50 inch widescreen TV and a 6.1 sound system.The sound and vision was excellent.I was reluctant to purchase the trilogy, due to past poor reviews of the widescreen version with errors on disc 2 and 3, with letterbox black bars on the top and bottom.I did not detect any portion of scenes with less picture information or black bars on any of the movies. The viewing screen was filled, in my opinion, perfectly.The 5.1 re-master sounds great and is utilized very well.In fact, I am able to force on my two rear surround speakers in conjunction with my side surround speakers and my decoder fills my room with sound.The most obvious sound effect is within the last 15 minutes of disc one, where a helicopter sounds like it is circling the room from the right to rear to left.The viewer has the feeling of being in the center of the screen.Great Sound.......The packaging on this new release has a cellophane wrapper indicating - All 3 movies! Lowest Price Ever.Own it before time runs out!Widescreen.I checked the DVDs to try and determine if indeed these were updated versions.The second DVD does have the obvious "V2"(for version 2) on the face near the bottom, after all rights reserved.The third DVD does not have "V2" on the bottom, as I was hoping.Thereafter, I placed the DVDs in my computer to check the contents date.Disc 1 (that never had any problems) had dates from 2002.Discs 2 and 3 had content dates from 2003.Just to be sure, I put the movie to the test and compared the noted problem scenes on the BTTF framing web site, and found disc three to be correct.So, I am satisfied and believe that I have updated versions of the widescreen DVDs.
NOTE:On a regular TV (Not Widescreen), there are the black letter box bars on the top and bottom of the screen, but they are not visible on my widescreen TV.
4/2/05.I recently watched all three movies for a second time and turned on the trivia track - A great special feature for another viewing.This trilogy is a definite purchase.............
