Same Blu-Ray, new steelbook

This review is about the steelbook, not the movie. If you cared nothing for the movie you wouldn't be reading this, right?
A while back, I bought the DVD Special Edition with largely lackluster extras, so I saw no reason to buy the BluRay which had the same DVD extras and nothing more.
Then this steelbook tipped me over. Yes, it's just the same old BluRay in a nicer steelbook package. Yes, I'm a fan. Shut-up.
Later on I bought the Arrow limited release of the 4K which has all of the extras Universal Pictures should have gave us in the first place.
If you have a 4K player or TV I'd buy the Arrow version, you'll love it. If you plan on holding onto your BluRay player for the foeseeable future, you still have the DVD (or no disc at all) and you don't care much about extras, go ahead and get this one.

An absolute Sci-Fi classic, transferred into the land of 4K! You can never go wrong with Arrow Video! They do the best quality transfers of the cult classic you love!
This is no different! Great price via Best Buy too! A can’t miss! FLASH!

Extras We should Have Always Had

This is 35mm film to 4K. Is there noticeable film grain? Of course. Does it look better or sound better than Blu-Ray? Not that I can see or hear.
What makes this all worth it? All of the extras that Universal Pictures should have always included but never did.
Arrow finally gives the fans of Flash Gordon movie the respect it was always due.
At this price Arrow should have included a Blu-Ray, but this is single disc.

This is a fun film that has never looked this good. It reveals the limitations of 1980 state of the art VFX but it’s still as fun as ever.

I never got around to seeing this over the years, and I’m glad now I finally have. I really enjoyed it for what it is, and the transfer looks fantastic!

Arrow, the little distributor that could!

Arrow studios is a boutique studio whose MSRP is higher then most want to pay. They specialize in more obscure titles that attract specific fans. This movie is a prime example of the demographic they shoot for. That being said they must love these films themselves as I have yet to encounter a release from them that isn’t a labor of love. From the great transfer, to the amazing number of extras, and the fantastic packaging complete with thick booklets, they always knock it out of the park.

One of the all-time best cheesy sci-fi flicks from the 80's. Really, it's pretty much a 70's movie since it was released in theaters in 1980.
Max von Sydow is the best creepy villain. If you appreciate goofy retro-futuristic space themes, then you'll love this movie. Come for the space drama, but stay for the killer soundtrack by Queen!

I haven’t seen this movie in at least a decade. I am so glad I waited because this 4K copy blew me away! Action sequences looked more realistic…colors popped…music was immersive! A Blast from the Past

The movie is such a product of its time, but I’ve been enjoying it for YEARS. The A/V on this remaster is stunning. The extras are pretty in depth. This is a solid upgrade from the previous Universal Blu-ray.

This film is the pure definition of a fun time.4k video is amazing, easily a step up from the Blu ray. Audio is also very good and 4k is packed with amazing bonus features. Would recommend to any Flash Gordon or 80s movie fan.

It's now 2019 and despite being alive way back when I had never actually seen this. I was only familiar with the song. I finally broke down and got it and I have to admit despite being kind of cheesy and a product of its time it was actually a decent movie. I doubt it's much like the comic strip origin or the old movie serials but there are far worse superhero / adventure films out there.

This is a classic movie to own in its 4k glory. Watched this movie for the first time when I was a kid, and now after so many years it is still just as good.

80's cheese + soundtrack by Queen. That should be all you need to know! 4k transfer is the best looking print we have had for this one yet.

Great sound track. Been looking for a digital option for this movie but no luck so I bought the Blu-ray and it took me back to my childhood. Good watch for sure.

Some of the portrayals are very outdated, but as a product of it's time, Flash Gordon is a classic, campy fun sci-fi romp.
