Read Gabriella Trybalska's film review of Alive

Although the extras are somewhat limited to a single documentary, in fairness, this reviewer couldn't have cared less. Anything these days would be better than the standard two-minute trailer that adorns other DVDs similar to this one.

Not only is the documentary longer than average (45 minutes), it also offers the views of practically all the survivors from the original plane crash.

The picture and sound quality are also brilliant, although the film is only 10 years old, so there shouldn't be too much difference from the original inferior VHS.
