Stargate: Ark of Truth - Blu-ray Forum

SpaceDog · 02-11-2008, 02:53 PM

How do you intend to manage the first Stargate direct to DVD movie in terms of buying, renting, standard DVD and blu ray.

I specifically post this as I'm very conflicted. I want to support MGM for making these kinds of features, but I really just want the Blu Ray, which is sadly not Day and Date (or even announced)

PeteS · 02-11-2008, 02:59 PM

I really want to support this initiative by the Stargate/MGM team, so this is one of the few times I'll buy a DVD in order to support them for what I really want - Ark and Continuum on Blu-ray.

owa · 02-11-2008, 03:01 PM

I'll by whatever they release first. If it's DVD and they release blu-ray later, I'll buy the blu-ray when it becomes available.

I'm buying the DVD. I want to show my support for the series. The creators of the show said if the first two SG-1 movies sale well, then they'll continue SG-1 as movies series, making about two per year.

If they announce that Ark of Truth is coming to Blu-ray before the DVD release then I'll wait and buy it on Blu-ray

I'll get both the DVD's, and perhaps both the Blu-rays regardless of whether I have Blu-ray hardware yet. I'm still on the ropes on what kind of HDTV is best, but as for BD hardware, I've got my eye on the Panasonic DMP-BD50.

Slapper · 02-11-2008, 05:08 PM

I'm definitely going to have to buy the DVD to show my support. Stargate is worth a double-dip for me. So, if MGM decides they want to release the Blu-ray version down the road, it won't hurt my feelings and I'll pony up for that one too.

ussrelativity · 02-11-2008, 05:19 PM

Double dipping for me won't be too hard, because my collection of DVD's are mostly boxed sets. It's not that much anyway.

dk3dknight · 02-11-2008, 09:29 PM

I never even heard of this straight to movie release.

zachhar · 02-12-2008, 12:32 AM

Its a good movie. I would buy it twice (DVD & BLU) if need be.

BigFoot · 02-12-2008, 11:28 AM

Buy the DVD and possibly also buy the Blu-ray.

Heart&Soul · 02-12-2008, 11:50 AM

If it's offered on Blu-Ray, I'll buy it. I've been a fan since Day 1.

Dark Steel · 02-12-2008, 06:58 PM

Buy whichever comes out first.

This one wraps up the Ori storyline from the series. There is also a second direct to video movie already in production that deals with an alternate timeline.

..called Continuum. A behind the scenes preview of which can be found at:

..where Amanda Tapping says, "..absolutely visually stunning!"
Now if that doesn't plead for Blu-ray.

krazeyeyez · 02-13-2008, 02:20 PM

I really want this movie, I've been hearing great things and plan to get it when it's out March 11th. I like what they've got going on over at the myspace too, like this:

PeteS · 02-16-2008, 08:59 PM

And, to note, Stargate Atlantis latest episode 'Midway' was propably the best I've seen - they are really firing on all cylinders.

Ayrton1 · 03-11-2008, 12:05 PM

I already ordered the regular DVD from Amazon and it came yesterday. Its a great movie and really calls out for Blu-Ray. If this movie does well enough then I am sure they will announce a Blu-Ray release soon. I will buy that one as well.

XanderAE · 03-17-2008, 10:03 PM

Where is the Blu-ray release?... Damn!

I don't wanna shell out on the DVD when a blu-ray release will come out inevitably!

All that 35mm filmed goodness!
