Stargate [WS] [Special Edition] [DVD] [1994]

For those looking for a quality Blu-ray transfer of Stargate, the search can be a bit confusing. There have been several versions released but not all are truly an upgrade in quality. For true Stargate fans, I would recommend this one, the 15th anniversary release. It has both picture & sound upgrades that the film deserves & that truly improve viewing enjoyment! There are 2 versions of the film: original theatrical release & director’s cut; as well as a slew of special features. There was a 20th anniversary blu-Ray that was released, that for whatever reason was not as good as the 15th anniversary edition.

5 stars for the steelbook design. 5 stars for arriving with no dents or dings. 5 stars for this great sci-fi film.

Classic Si-Fi that spawned years of TV shows got worthy remade in this Blue Ray edition. Good attempt always worth the effort..

How can you beat James Spader, Kurt Russell, pyramids AND aliens?? Roland Emmerich's career is in big-budget action epics like INDEPENDENCE DAY, DAY AFTER TOMORROW & THE PATRIOT. Arguably, these are not fine films and not all of them are even good junk food. 1994's STARGATE, which spawned the popular TV series, is like a deluxe bag of Doritos. After all, few have tackled the whole "aliens built the pyramids" thing on a grand cinematic scale, but it DOES seem to be a magic ingredient to great moving pictures snack food. (What else...? The Michael Bay TRANSFORMERS series & ALIENS VS PREDATOR, I think...)

I have a 65" 3D TV, and while this is not in native 3 D, it is awesome when switched from 2D to 3D. A very clean transfer to Blue Ray -- sound effects solid. This movie spawned 4 really good TV series that I continue to watch over and over. Far better than watching WWW or GLOW events (Glamorous Ladies of Wrestling) which clog 4 of my 12 cable channels. So yes, I loved the move, and recommend it highly. Of course, I have watched Galaxy Quest 14 times, and while most of my friends think I am nuts (they're right) -- Stargate is a truly wonderful buddy movie!

This Steelbook is amazing. Both sides of the Steelbook have a fantastic art. Great movie with real stakes of being trapped on another planet and saving the inhabitants from slavery. Plus this gave us 3 TV series of a total of 17 Seasons. The TV series really built on the concept and is a real fun time.

While this image is simple compared to some other steelbooks, it is striking and kind of iconic considering everything this movie has inspired. I am very glad this came with the Digital Copy as well. A welcome addition to my collection.

The Stargate video was top notch and played perfectly for me. I had been wanting this video for a long time. I turned to Best Buy to make it happen. Thanks a million for the good service I received. Regards, Joseph
