In this extented cut version, it includes extra scenes that did not need to be there, a few extra dialogues that we would not miss, and most importantly it messed up the flow of the movie. 99% of the time the theatrical version will be better than any other versions that they will introduce later. The Bluray conversion is good. Stargate is one of my favorite sci-fi films. When will the movie studios will ever learn that the real director's cut is the version that they chose to show at our movie theaters. But overall, I am disappointed that they did not include theatrical version with the extented cut version. Unfortunately, the movie studio had to mess it up with their 'improved' extented cut version. Bluray disc is certainly has enough space for 3-4 versions on one disc.
Other than that the movie itself is rather great; I have seen all of SG-1, Atlantis, and the two new Stargate movies but never the original.The subtitles on the movie are not defective they are just hidden. If you hit your subtitle button a few times I believe track 5 English has the subtitles ONLY for when the aliens talking. The first English track is for subtitles on ALL the time.I gave this movie 4 stars because I thought they could have done a better job transfering the movie to high-def and they could have figured out that English audio track 1 should have subtitles for the alien language instead of putting it on a separate track. I wasn't too happy with the quality of the movie as others have said but then again I believe it was filmed in 1994 and wasn't expecting a full 1080p transfer to look that great. And I got this movie for $9.99 which I figure is a few bucks more than the dvd costs right now so it can't hurt. as if any of us speak English AND the alien language to NOT need the subtitles.
I have an HDMI cable between my Blu-ray player and my plasma, but it continually says, 480p. I cannot get the movie to play in 1080p as advertised all over the box. Any suggested or did I get duped.
But darker scenes are horrible. I doubt it. Somebody get the rights off these Lionsgate boobs.I understand a lot of companies are doing this - rushing to put out a blu-ray versions with no effort to make good transfers. Did they transfer from a copy of a copy of a copy. Probably.
I'd rather they hadn't issued a Stargate blu-ray at all. When the scenes are bright (e.g., in the desert), the picture is excellent. I'm not even sure grainy is the right word. But then, switch to a brighter scene and we're back to crispy again. Perhaps an "ultimate" or "collector's" edition will come out so I can buy it a 3rd time and they'll have cleaned it up. Regardless, I CANNOT recommend this Blu-Ray for now. Hello.
Are you there. Criterion. Was the original film poor in lower light conditions. Like other reviewers, I love the movie and already had it on dvd, but was VERY disappointed with the Blu-Ray transfer. I can't figure out what went wrong. Very grainy. There's snow on the picture like I'm receiving it with an antenna and the signal is weak.
I suppose they know I'll buy it again and again, like a lab rat getting repeatedly zapped at an electrified food dispenser.Also, I didn't see any extras on the blu-ray at all, just the commentary, which was on the dvd.
I'm not sure how they transferred the film to digital but the blu-ray looks worse than DVD copies of the film I've seen. You'll be looking at the TV wondering if its on the fritz becuase there's so much snow and artifacts in the picture - and no I don't mean archeological artifacts either. I bought the blu-ray edition of the movie and was blown-away at how horrible the picture looked. Avoid the blu-ray version.
