Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "The Phantom 2010" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is actually a mini-series but it is edited into a movie which means there are some bad points like some important parts are cut out (No reason). The length of the mini-series is around 2 hours and 40 minutes and it is being cut into a 1 hour and 43 minutes movie which does not make much sense. I have seen the whole mini-series so i do know which parts are cut out like the important introduction of the Phantom Cave, I can't believe it is cut out. On the other hand, all the action scenes are still kept (Phew). The edited movie is not a bad job but it could have been so much better, the length should be 2 hours. DVD special features-Rating: 1/5 There are only trailers and previews (11 minutes) which include a featurette on District 9. Other than that, I didn't really expect anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She goes around and sees if there are any survivors. Most of the story takes place in a huge building surrounding with zombies. Alice and Claire are trapped in the building with some surviv
