This disc is one of Madman's final Godzilla DVDs, released right before their Terror of Mechagodzilla which closed the company's run on Godzilla films. So how does this disc fair? Has the company learned from their strengths on the previous DVDs, while also taking into account their weaknesses? The answer is sadly disappointing, as this feels like a more rushed release compared to some of their previous DVDs, having a sub par video track, audio that is plagued by "dubtitles", and the company's normal selection of extras for these 1990's films, which thankfully do elevate the overall release slightly.

The video presentation on this release is decent, but has some noticeable problems. On the plus side, Madman has conquered the compression problems they had on earlier DVDs, in particular the artifacting that was present on their Godzilla vs. Mothra: Battle for Earth. On the downside, the brightness level of this release is set way too high. The ending result is that there is no true black throughout the film while the lighter sequences are slightly washed out. The color spectrum is also far from a vibrant array too. Also, for whatever reason, the title screen here appears with a different color for SpaceGodzilla's name, rather than the normal blue. Furthermore, the movie as a whole looks noticeably soft too, lacking in sharp detail. Thankfully, at least print damage is minimal.

Now, to compare this with the earlier region 1 release, one can see this shot from the Madman release with the earlier Tristar release. Things to note include that the Tristar video track is a lot sharper, but also has a lot more visible grain as well. The brightness level is a lot better managed on the region 1 though, as one can see that details are lost on the crystals to the left on the region 4 release.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is Anamorphic for widescreen TVs.

As a side note, this is a PAL release, and the speed up is the reason for the discrepancy in running times which is the standard 4% difference, although no actual footage has been lost.

The disc has a total of three audio tracks, two of which are in Japanese and the final one is the International English dub. The Japanese audio can be found in both 5.1 surround and also 2.0 stereo. The two tracks are both well done, with no inconsistencies and decent speaker distinction in the surround track. Now the third track, as previously mentioned, is the one for the English dubbed version. Sadly, like the other Heisei series DVDs from Madman, this track is a double channel mono presentation, although quality is fine otherwise.

The audio is also complimented by removable English subtitles. Sadly, these subtitles are, as they are infamously known, "dubtitles" and correspond to the English dub rather than the Japanese language track.

Not much in terms of extras, but still just enough to add a little value to the package. The best supplement here are the trailers for the film. There are a total of six adverts for the movie, four of which are teasers, one a main trailer, and finally a TV spot as well. On top of this are trailers for three other of the 1990's Godzilla films, which include Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991), Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993), and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995).

Aside from the trailers, two galleries make up the rest of the extras. The first is for production stills, with 30 in total although sadly a lot of these are washed out due to the brightness setting. The second gallery is one that features three posters for the film. Regretfully, these posters are divided into two images, a top and a bottom as they were for the Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah release. So the presentation of these is awkward and kind of loses the feel that the whole poster would have.

As a side note, the background on the scene selection screen is oddly enough Godzilla fighting Mecha-King Ghidorah, which was likely a mistake.

Bottom line, this disc does have the Japanese audio, but the fact that it has "dubtitles" kind of negates that positive for most people who aren't fluent in the language although at least the original performances still come through. Regardless, there isn't a huge amount of stuff to recommend about this DVD compared to its region 1 counterpart, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla/Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. The surround option is nice, as are the extras and the original Japanese audio, but the video track is not as nice as the Tristar one. In the end, this one gets the slight nod for being the better of the two, but it's up to personal preference and neither is particularly stellar as is.

This disc is also featured in the DVD box set: Godzilla Heisei Series.
