5/5 Finally a version worthy of a great film.
  by Jason (Mount Juliet Tennessee United States)
This 15th Anniversary edition is no gimmick, is has wonderful picture quality and really great sound. For a movie that was so great and spawned a few TV spin offs Stargate the movie really needed and deserved this, especially after the lack luster first release on Blu ray.

So for those owning the first release on bluray and wondering if this is worth the upgrade is most certainly is in every way picture-sound-bonus material, and I havn't even started watching the all new special features which by the way seem like their going to be very cool and I'm usually not even into special feature or bonus material.

1/5 Stargate 15th Anniversary Edition [Blu-ray]
  by John F. Murphy (NJ)
I ordered this latest Blu Ray copy, But it did not work after the previews the movie did not boot up. I retuned that one and they sent me another one that did the same thing. I tried both disks on both of my Blu Ray players that had a soft where updatethis year, and all other blu ray disks work just fine.

I will try to order again in December, hopefully they will have a new batch by than and I will get one that works.


5/5 Finally a worthy release!
  by Discmagnate
After all the poor releases of this film, Lionsgate has finally stepped up and given the fans the REAL Ultimate Edition. This is a new 1080p VC-1 film-to-disc transfer (~25 Mbps peak), with an all-new 7.1 DTS-HD MA audio track (7 Mbps peak) which literally shakes the floor and sounds more alive and active than I've ever heard. I can't compare this to the 2006 blu-ray since I never purchased it (after reading that it too was subpar), but it's a massive upgrade from my 2003 Artisan disc. Rounding out this release is 4+ hours of bonus content, none of which is contained on the previous blu-ray. The best part of the deal was the fact that I was able to purchase this for $9.99 from a local big box retailer due to some confusion over which version was on sale. If you haven't purchased the 2006 blu-ray (and even if you have!) this is a must-own for fans.

3/5 A Review from Someone who has seen the disc?
  by Regina A. Walter (Indiana)
This is an interesting approach, a review from someone who has seen the disc itself, unlike the first four reviews. Although I do agree that MGM could have built a new studio from the income from the multiple releases of this title. The first two were sub-par quality releases that were not anamorphic. The third release included the both versions and were animorphic. They were a big step up but clearly atleast the second release was strictly for the money. The final DVD release prior to this one, did not include the Theatrical version. Stargate was one of the first film on Blu-Ray as it first appeared in 2006. It contains no extra features and has only a DTS soundtrack, which is actually quite good. How does the new release compare to the first BR? Unfortunately, the image quality is UNCHANGED. It appears to be the identical transfer as the 2006 version. The new release does include the theatrical version, which in my opinion, is superior. The Extended Version gives away the plot to early and repeats a screne or two. I also like that in the theatrical release, when the general must decide whether to include Dr. Jackson on the mission, Kurt Russell with his back to the camera says "It's Your Call", instead of "He's full of S...." which he says in the extended version. The sound is slightly improved on the anniversary edition and it does include about 2 hours of bonus stuff. If you simply like the film and are not interested in the bonus features and the Extended version is the one you like, there is not image quality improvement so I would say, do not waste your money. Since I like the Theatrical version, I invested in the new one.

5/5 Why this was put out again
  by Jared Polin (Richboro, Pa. United States)
This Blu-ray will be a 50 gig disc opposed to the first one which was only 25 gig. Just like early DVDs were pretty much just a low quality copy of the movie with no extras the same thing happened with early blu-ray. They lacked a lot of features and only used 25 gig discs.

I will be purchasing this blu-ray as this is such a visually stunning movie worth the purchase. Not all movies are needed on blu-ray but this is one that is a must buy.

When looking to buy new blu-rays check the package to make sure that they are at least 50 gig discs.
