Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this mini series and a great addition to my collection.

Theirs is the original version. This is the best version. This appeared on tv back in the day over a 2 or 3 day period. Never saw the re-make nor do I plan to. Classic story of good vs evil (betrayal) and ultimate sacrifices to save the World.

One of Stephen King’s best! Recalls so many memories when I first viewed this when I was much younger. After having read the book, I really felt that the actors portraying each character did such a great job. My favorites were Gary Sinese, Rob Lowe, Ed Harris, and Jamey Sheridan as Randall Flagg.

One of the best that Stephen King has to offer! It's scary at thinking what our governments play around with all in the name of science!

one of y favorite Stephen King movies'. I do not know how it compares to the remake.

Great classic movie came really fast very much enjoyed watching it

This is a good movie a little dated but the message is there. Stephen King is the best at what he does he may not reach all audiences into main stream filming but if you watch it with a open mind you will enjoy.A new adaption is in in the process of filming hopefully they dont mess it up.This movie is in my top 20 interesting characters and story make it a favorite.

Having been a Stephen King fan since I was a kid (his fault I am petrified of clowns), This one took me awhile to read with the uncut version running over 1500 pages. When i found out they were doing a mini series i was seriously wondering how they could pull it off if at all since its very ambitious. I was pleasantly surprised. The stand outs are Rob Lowe, Ruby Dee, Bill Fagerbakke (Coach), and Laura San Giacomo. The show down at the end always brings me to tears and gives me chills in a good way. warning though. it is 6 hours long so you may not be able to watch it in one sitting but trust me, its worth it.

The Stand is one of my favorite Stephen King tv series. I was thrilled to see it was being restored to HD. This won't disappoint you. They restore this by having black bars on the side, but it really cleans up the picture. Also having all 4 parts on one disc is great rather than the 2 dvds in the past. A must own for any fan of 90's tv series.

I have watched this miniseries several times, always on DVD, and the quality on Blu-Ray is a huge improvement. The video is extremely clear and shows no signs of unnecessary digital noise reduction. The audio is also excellent, with dialogue clear at all times. The series has held up well over time, and the story is just as relevant today as it was when the book first appeared. Highly recommended.

I finally got around to picking this up to upgrade my DVD copy, and what an upgrade it is! The fact that the entire miniseries is relegated to a single disc worried me somewhat, given the compression that would be needed to keep a decent bit rate. What has been done here is nothing short of miraculous, and is a pleasure to watch. Don't waste your time with the hot garbage that is the 2020 remake... THIS is the definitive version...

This is a must have for any Stephen King fan. I have this on VHS, but don't watch them anymore. It's not a movie to just view like any other, because it's 6 hours, and you will need to take a break. But, to tell the story in detail, I feel it needs to be that long. At no time did I feel that I wished it would just get to the end.

I wasn’t expecting much when I purchased this as far as an improvement in audio and video, but I was definitely wrong. There is a surprisingly good video transfer that clears up a lot of the old stuff that I noticed on my DVD version. Overall a great release.

If you’ve read the biblical-length King novel, you can rest-assured that this is a faithful adaptation; do keep in mind that it was filmed in the early 90’s, however, and for a major network (CBS - the mind reels at what present-day HBO could do with this material though!). What shines with the blu-ray is the transfer; it looks spectacular, all things considered.

Every Saturday I would toon in to the syfy channel to see all the horror marathons every Saturday and this mini series was always one that would be showing. I never got to complete it since it’s so long. So glad it was available on bluray purchase. The soundtrack is the best and the cast did phenomenal. Very creepy element to it and would highly recommend to binge watch. Also would recommend reading the novel first.

I first saw this on VHS in the mid-90s, and loved it. I owned the DVD and in this modern age, the DVD looks terrible! This blu-ray, while not perfect, is likely as good as this series will ever look on a home video format. It isn’t particularly great compared to newer movies or series, but that is more due to limitations of the time I am assuming. This is a series that doesn’t hold up all the time, but if you grew up with it as I did, you will still enjoy it.

Great adaptation to kings epic, shot in the 90s it still holds up. The blu ray makes the picture quality even better. Worth picking up if you still like physical copies of media.

Stephen King's The Stand finally got a well deserved HD Blu-ray remaster. Looks Awesome on Blu-ray...you can tell the difference between the DVD vs the Blu-ray! This is a Stephen King fan must buy!

Great movie if you also loved the book; ensure your DVD player is compatible.

Watching this movie in 2020 really makes a difference. Then compare it to what is currently happening in the world. Scary stuff.
