Can't go wrong with this BD. One of the best from 2016 and very affordable price.

3D is awesome! Great movie from the 50's. A must for collectors!

What a great movie, and we finally have it on Blu-ray the way it was presented theatrically, in 3D and three-channel stereophonic sound. Fans of classic science fiction movies and classic 3D flicks have waited years to see It Came From Outer Space in its intended format. Thanks to the 3D Film Archive, that is now possible. The new Blu-ray from Universal features a stunning restoration of the 1953 feature about an alien spacecraft that crash-lands near a small Arizona community. The alien occupants begin to kidnap some of the townsfolk and assume their identities. The beings tell the local astronomer they are doing so in order to make repairs to their craft, but the town sheriff is suspicious and wants to fight the creatures. Over the years, the 3D Film Archive - which originally undertook this project for UK Blu-ray distributor Panamint - has restored several 3D classics such as Dragonfly Squadron, The Bubble, The Mask and Gog. Like those restorations, the archive's work on It Came From Outer Space does not disappoint. In 2D, many scenes in the movie come off as mundane. Now in 3D, a backyard telescope pokes out of the screen and almost knocks you in the face. A ladder on a utility truck is so vivid you feel like you can attempt to climb up it. The cyclopean eyeball of one of the horrendous aliens almost touches your nose. Boulders from an avalanche look like they'll land on your lap. In short, the 3D effects are fantastic, flawless. This is how the movie was meant to be viewed, and watching it in 3D after years of viewing it flat makes you realize you've been missing a lot. Then there's the sound. That three-track stereo sound. That sound that was featured in the movie when it was first released and never heard again - until this Blu-ray release. Wow! Incredible. Again, if not for the 3D Film Archive, this is a facet of the movie that likely would have been lost in oblivion. It's a game-changer, folks. Explosions carry a lot more weight. The creepy score is distributed throughout three speakers, helping you to hear aspects of its haunting melody you've never noticed before. In short, the already amazing three-dimensional images onscreen are even further enhanced by the powerful, dynamic three-track stereo track. Universal's disc is rounded out with a lively commentary track from film historian Tom Weaver, a very entertaining documentary about the movie called The Universe According to Universal, and 2D and 3D trailers of the movie. The movie also features optional subtitles. For those without 3D setups, a 2D version of the film is also included. You can't go wrong with this release. Presently, it's a BestBuy exclusive available for as low as $7.99. This might be the Blu-ray deal of the past 10 years. Really. If you love classic movies, or if you love classic science fiction or if you love classic 3D films, or all of the above, It Came From Outer Space is a can't-miss purchase.

Because I don't have a 3D Blu Ray player, this will mostly focus on the 2D aspect. The disc works fine with a regular Blu-Ray player, but you won't be able to experience the 3D version. Still, it is nice to see a classic get its own release. The bonus features are minimal with an audio commentary from a film historian, a 30 minute retrospective documentary and trailer serve as simple extras. However, this is an important addition to your library for just the movie itself. The story is actually crafted from Ray Bradbury which made for a clever analogy for our fears in the Cold War. Also, the idea of aliens being non-threatening is a great twist that many studios wouldn't dare to utilize at the time. The only other I can think of that did this was The Day The Earth Stood Still. It Came from Outer Space should be remembered as a classic for its poetic dialogue and great use of tension. Those hoping for a huge body count or gore might be disappointed. I stress this is a different kind of movie that asks if humanity exists in different forms and how we would treat that if visitors from another world did come down. Worth seeing for the creepy atmosphere and clever writing.

It came from outer space 3D blu-ray a great fine and only available at BestBuy and at a low price of $7.99.This film is from the golden age of 3D from 1952 to 1954 and unlike what many people think this film and all others of this area were shown in Polaroid 3D not the blue/red glasses variety .Do yourself a favor and grab this blu-ray film before it's gone.It came from outer space is in both 2D&3D on the same disc.

This is classic, fully restored 3D from the 1950s, at an amazing price! (It is, however, in black-and-white.) As you may guess, this sci-fi story depicts the crash of an object from outer space containing an extraterrestrial being, and one human's attempt to deal with the situation. As any good sci-fi story should, it raises interesting questions about caution vs. trust, observation vs. suspicion, protection of loved ones vs. defense of the human race, etc. For an aficionado of home 3D, it's a no-brainer; but even for the rest of you, it's a reasonable deal at this price if you are at all fond of classic sci-fi.

It Came From Outer Space was released during sci-fi's golden era and represents one of the more artful expressions of the genre for its time. While there were certainly movies a-plenty with similar titles and themes, It Came From Outer Space was ultimately one of the titles that made a lasting impression on film audiences because it was more than a mere pulp piece. As for the Blu-ray itself, the transfer is excellent and leaves nothing to be desired. This particular edition does have a 3D option but I do not have the capabilities to experience said effect so I can only comment on the regular version of the film.

Bob Furmanek and Greg Kintz from the 3D Archive did the restoration on this title for Universal pictures. As far as I am concerned they should everyone's restorations from now on. For a titles over 60 years old you will never see deeper blacks rendered than in this blue ray. I have been burned before by sub par transfers like JAWS 3D & COMING AT YA. If you see 3D archive associated with a project you can buy with confidence.

I got this movie because I just hooked up a computer to my new TV and can watch 3D movies on Blu-ray with the graphics card converting it to the old-fashioned red/cyan anaglyph 3D format for the red & cyan glasses. The 3D was pretty good, and the way I'm watching with red and cyan glasses is better with B/W movies than it is with color. When I found out this was based on a Ray Bradbury story I decided to risk the $7.99 it cost. It was well worth it. Yes it's and old B/W film, but is a lot better than most! And it has the professor from Gilligan's Island!

The great Director Jack Arnold. Richard Carlson a classic science fiction cinema stalwart. Barbara Rush a stunning starlet in the making. Ray Bradbury screenplay. These are all the ingredients for a classic confection, with the extravagant addition of 3D which is like whip cream and a cherry on top of it all. And yes 3D does pop in black and white, just look at the Creature from the Black Lagoon 3D blu-ray, for further proof.

This movie is somewhat of a science fiction classic (story by the legendary Ray Bradbury) of the 1950's and it was filmed in 3D. The high definition of the Blu-ray DVD shows of the 3D beautifully, although of course you must have a 3D TV and 3D DVD player to get the 3D effect. For such a low price this movie would be a bargain even if it was only in 2D because you get such a nice sharp picture, but see it in 3D if you can!

This is a classic movie made better in blu-ray 3D. Both 2D & 3D are on the same disc, so it will play in 2D on standard blu-ray players. For those that have 3D equipment, this is a real treat. PQ is excellent, though not widescreen. AQ is good. A nice special feature, albeit not many. For the price, this can't be beat. Thank you for reading.

This is has both the 2D an 3D available on a single disc. I watched the 3D and it is fantastic with a good quality print. This was the first, I believe, 3 channel stereo and the audio is also very strong for a movie this old. A great bargain for the price, hopefully Best Buy will release more of these classic 3D movies in the future.

It Came from Outer Space is a superior early '50s SciFi film, reissued in its 3-D form. Picture quality is outstanding, rock-steady and completely free of speckles, scratches or splices. The 3-D is effective and not overdone. All this, plus outstanding stereo sound, make this a true winner, not to be missed. Both 3-D and 2-D versions are on the disc, plus a 30-minute documentary and a commentary track. What a bargain!

Great 3d classic finally released on Bluray. Looks great projected on a big screen with my 3d LCD projector. Seeing home video releases of House of Wax, The Mask, Creature from the Black Lagoon and now It came form Outer Space is like being a kid in candy shop. The prices are great and quality is excellent. I just received The Mad magician and now I'm hoping for 3d releases of The Maze and Robot Monster.

This blu-ray is a HUGE upgrade over the old DVD. It's wide-screen instead of 1.33:1 disc, it has the original 3D version (plus the 2D) and the original 3-track stereo soundtrack is a sonic wonder. AND I got it for a VERY reasonable price! Best Buy knocked it out of the park with this exclusive. If you like the old 50's sci-fi films, don't miss this excellent blu-ray of It Came From Outer Space.

I am a big fan of all 3-D films and I remember when this film was first released in the theaters and I am amazed at how well it holds up after all these years. Thoroughly enjoy ablel but you must remember The technical level was quite different.compared to what we have today so don't expect it to be as sophisticated production wise. Nevertheless a valuable addition to my 3-D library

Universal's entry into the 3D market has been given a remarkable transfer to blu ray. The picture is clean and sharp and the sound is a much more faithful representation of what audiences heard back in 1953. Compared to previous home video releases, this transfer has a wide stereo field with aggressive use of the surround channels. A real treat for the sci-fi fan!

This is a movie every Sci-Fi fan should see. I have always passed on it in the past because it was an older flic and I did not think it would be cool or have greats effects for its age. Well I was wrong. It impressed me and they did a wonderful job remastering the print into HI-Def for a blu-ray release! And it's a bargain at less than $10. Check it our for sure.

An oldy but a goody. This is an older movie but good one, the sad thing is that it doesnt look like 3d is going to be supported in the U.S. any more, which is one of the reasons I bought the set I bought. It looks like there is still more 3d available in other regions of videos released,like Alice through the looking glass....not available in 3d in the U.S.
