Rated 5 out of 5 stars
One of Bowie's best
I've been a fan of this movie since I first saw it upon it's original release (the cut down version) in theaters in 1976. I also got to see the original long cut version at the movie theater which is the version mastered for this Blu-ray/DVD release. Spectacular is the word for this newest release. I haven't seen this film presented in this way since it's original release. I do have the restored THX mastered long version which is great but this newest release is the best I've ever seen. Great package included in this 3 disc release.
I was very happy to pick this up on launch day with sale price at about $10 cheaper than the list price that other online options were selling for. Best Buy still seems to list this cheaper than most places, so a good place to pick up for sure. Movie has never looked better, but the packaging is odd and flimsy and the soundtrack is not included like the region B Studio Canal release has. That said, if you are locked to region A, this is a great buy, especially from Best Buy.
Since it's too expensive to get your hands on used copy of the Criterion version of this movie, this version is very welcome indeed. But....I wish they would have included the soundtrack CD as the 3rd disc, the way the UK version did, That is the only reason I am not giving 4 stars
