Blu-ray Reviews of Stargate (15th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: The best I've seen it since it was in theaters... maybe better than that
Summary: 5 Stars

Stargate was my very first DVD purchase over a decade ago. Strangely, I never got around to upgrading from the original non-anamorphic release dvd. Then I got a Bluray drive for my htpc and the first BD I purchased? Stargate, of course. It was my first bluray, so I thought it looked great, a bit grainy but I thought that was okay. Then as I bought more blurays, I began to realize the first Stargate Bluray release was very poor quality in comparison to other catalog releases. And the more Lossless Audio BD's I watched, the more I realized I never want lossy tracks ever (sure the first Stargate BD had DTS-HR, but once you go bluray, you want lossless, period.) That said, I couldn't complain much, I got the bluray for 10 bucks at walmart at the time. But knowing there were several dvd releases, I figured Stargate would get another chance on Bluray and was thrilled when I found out this was coming.

Anyway, on to the 15th Anniversary release. FANTASTIC. Finally, I can show Stargate on Bluray to friends. This looks as good as one could hope any catalog release to look, probably largely thanks to the AVC encoding this time (the original BD release was MPEG-2). This now looks as good as any 90's scifi movie in my BD collection and better than many. And the lossless audio is a Definite improvement ( I wish my room allowed for 7.1, but sadly I can only do 5.1). This is the best I have ever seen it since the theater release... and maybe this is better; I doubt the theater I saw it in was as good as my home theater is now. You do get the problem that many catalog titles have that contain CG elements... the picture is unfortunately TOO good. You can easily see the flaws in the few CG elements (like when the alien "helmets" disappear back into their collar). But you just have to accept that stuff. I will say that the blacks seemed a bit off at times. My system is well calibrated and my plasma does blacks well, but in a few scenes the blacks appeared almost greenish. I think this may have been part of the original, as they may have made a compromise between the bright desert scenes and the dark interior scenes so as not to strain the viewers eyes (my opinion/speculation only, I don't know this for fact).

This is ABSOLUTELY worth upgrading from the first release for any fan of the movie or anyone with a tv big enough to tell the difference. And certainly if you didn't get the first one, don't let the discount price on the first release tempt you, get the 15th Anniversary edition or you'll regret it!!
