Summary: Not the best bluray but the price was right
Comment: 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. 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... as if any of us speak English AND the alien language to NOT need the subtitles....

Summary: What happened to the 1080p
Comment: I cannot get the movie to play in 1080p as advertised all over the box. I have an HDMI cable between my Blu-ray player and my plasma, but it continually says, 480p. Any suggested or did I get duped?

Summary: Stargate Blu-Ray
Comment: Like other reviewers, I love the movie and already had it on dvd, but was VERY disappointed with the Blu-Ray transfer. When the scenes are bright (e.g., in the desert), the picture is excellent. But darker scenes are horrible. Very grainy. I'm not even sure grainy is the right word. There's snow on the picture like I'm receiving it with an antenna and the signal is weak. But then, switch to a brighter scene and we're back to crispy again. I can't figure out what went wrong. Was the original film poor in lower light conditions? I doubt it. Did they transfer from a copy of a copy of a copy? Probably. Regardless, I CANNOT recommend this Blu-Ray for now. 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. Hello? Criterion? Are you there? 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. I'd rather they hadn't issued a Stargate blu-ray at all. 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.

Summary: Terrible Picture Quality for Blu-ray
Comment: I bought the blu-ray edition of the movie and was blown-away at how horrible the picture looked. 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. Avoid the blu-ray version!

Summary: Comparison between DVD and Bluray
Comment: I own this both on DVD and this bluray. Some scenes are noticeably crisper. Other scenes suffer from granularity due to the low exposure and light levels in many of the scenes in this film.
