Battlestar Galactica 35th Anniversary Blu-Ray Review

[borjis]

The audio is perfect as it should be.

DTS-HDMA 2.1 with full SenSurround mix intact.

Your blu-ray player will map it to a 5.1 system perfectly.

the aspect is 1.85.

I just got it. Some thoughts.
It's never looked this good. It's very sharp and clean, colors pop. There are occasional very small dust specs, but its way cleaner than the original DVD (non-anamorphic) release. Also the colors are much better. The original DVD had a green tint...this one looks perfect. The special f/x footage looks a lot better than I thought it would. John Dykstra was being too hard on himself when he got upset over the theatrical release not holding up on the big screen. The models look great at 1080P.

It's 1.85 matted, though on a 16x9 tv the very small black bars top and bottom are not seen.

Universal did a PERFECT job on this title.

Bestbuy has officially put it on backorder status as of this morning. (tons of people pre-ordered)
The facebook page has over 900,000 likes.

An insider said if it sells well, the series will very likely be done. I think thats a given now...

I need to go check my mail box, but then it might not even arrive for a week or so. Thanks for the feedback. I can't wait to see it.

Good news indeed - just proves that there is still a strong market presence for the original series. Maybe finally the suits will start to take notice.

As tempted as I am by this,

A. there's nothing I can do about it right now as its not available in the Uk....
B. I'm going to hold out for the whole series......

Really excited by this though.... I always thought it looked incredible when it was remastered for DVD, its going to be amazing in HI Def.

Is the Blu-Ray JUST The Saga of Star World???
...it's not the full series?

[Red Eye]

It's the theatrical version of SOASW (the one in which Baltar was killed) *OUCH*

And thanks for your review, borjis! Now, I want to take some screencaps even more!!!
