Armageddon Criterion Blu

[dvdmrp]

Yes I know I am going to get ridiculed for suggesting this, but I really enjoyed the Criterion dvd of Armageddon as it looked great for its time and had the extended directors cut with a lot of great features. Disney released Armageddon last year but it is was the theatrical cut with little to no features. I still have my Criterion but it is sadly non-anamorphic.
Is there any chance that this could one day come out or did they lose the rights to this and the other bay film The Rock?
I have the DC pal dvd but of course it has pal speedup which I hate.

I'd double-dip on "The Rock" & "Armageddon" if Criterion did a Blu-ray like the DVDs they released for them.

The Rock has most of the extras from the Criterion release, only thing missing are three still galleries.

Bay would most likely have to approach Criterion to get an upgrade done. This was how he got the DVD release years ago.

I could hardly believe it when Criterion degraded themselves by releasing this crappy film on DVD. Hopefully, that step is now dead and buried and they should not make the same error twice.

It is not even a cult favourite like The Blob.

Armageddon is just a ridiculous, badly plotted, badly acted B-film.

Yes, heaven forbid Criterion put out a movie that was seen by more than 30 people in it's theatrical run. I don't know how they ever managed to survive both "The Rock" and "Armageddon" fiascoes with their hipster cred still intact.
