Contact Blu-ray

Contact Blu-ray Review

The 1997 film Contact (starring Jodie Foster) is coming To Blu-ray this fall from Warner according to the chat with Warner Home Video Theatrical on HTF.

Quote:

"[Bryan_Beckman] Any plans for CONTACT on Blu-ray? Thanks for spending your evening with us!"

[warnerbros] "You are very welcome..and thank you for your kind words. CONTACT is coming out on BD this Fall."

This is one of my favorite films on DVD that has yet to be revisited with a 2nd edition, so a Blu-ray would be awesome. I love this film.

I might rent this one at that time as I didn't get it the first time I watched it. I really want to give it a chance but I thought it was really dissapointing the first time.

Look forward to checking it out with fresh eyes.

I've watched this once.

Might give it another shot sometime

Excellent movie, been waiting for this one.

is there an alternate ending, please???

Batman1980 · 03-25-2009, 06:22 PM

I don't even remember anything about this movie other than aliens and large satellite dishes so I'll read some reviews first before I consider it.

phantompwr · 03-25-2009, 06:25 PM

Great movie that has decent science in it, plus a good story. That is hard to come by. Can't wait to hear the HD audio!

Chuey · 03-25-2009, 06:28 PM

One of my favorite movie, I will replace my DVD when it comes out.

That would be pretty cool. I'd rent it for sure if they did!

Contact is my favorite movie of all time. Just include a european, nordic release too.

ethanwa · 04-02-2009, 08:55 PM

My guess is that this will be a Digibook release from Warner.

PowellPressburger · 03-25-2009, 06:23 PM

Contact needs a new release bad. The original DVD was released in Dec of 07 I think... I remember ordering it when it was released and the compression wasn't the greatest since all the extras were crammed on one disc and 3 audio commentatires etc.....

so for it to be released on BLU would be great.

Day one purchase I just hope the cover art is cool, and not a photoshop mess.

Good point. A lot of these older movies are getting crap cover art which, in all seriousness, really does affect my desire to purchase them when they make them look like cheap bootleg versions.

I know what you mean. Check out the cover art for Groundhog Day.

nycomet · 03-26-2009, 05:21 AM

Contact is a must-have for my blu-ray collection. I will bet that the sound of the alien signal will make most subwoofers explode on "Contact!" I like everything about this film except for one small portion (the actual contact sequence). Jodie Foster provided an excellent performance.

mustang-gt-2002 · 03-26-2009, 05:02 PM

I'll take one

Kryptonic · 09-18-2009, 09:44 AM

I hadn't heard anything about this film coming out on BD and saw it listed on Amazon this morning. One of my favorite films. Can't wait to see and hear this in HD.

talstarone · 09-18-2009, 10:17 AM

Thanks for the heads up.
I have it on SDVD and think its an excellent movie(worth multiple viewings).

This is a Blu-Ray I will consider picking up soon,or at least making it a Blu-Ray I add to my Christmas list.

TheHOYT · 09-18-2009, 12:30 PM

Sweet!

This is one of my favorite films! Robert Zemeckis was such a great director before he went crazy....
