The bit with the rat doesn't bother me so much as the aspect ratio as, to the best of my knowledge, I don't think a DVD has been released with an anamorphic picture yet. That would obviously be remedied a Blu-ray Disc, but there doesn't appear to be any sign of either The Abyss or True Lies making their way onto the premiere home entertainment format yet. I wonder if James Cameron is deciding to bypass regular Blu-ray altogether and release them on 4K UltraHD discs.
