Red Dawn

"John Milius' Reagan-era cold war adventure film Red Dawn comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer, production notes, and trivia. This is a solid, though unspectacular release from MGM/UA that is appealing at its inexpensive list price."
