I don't know if that would affect it, though...
I may have to just end up buying a new one. I just hope that it was just this specific disc and not a problem with my PS3, or with my PS3's compatibility with certain blu rays.

I would return it for a new one, but it's been far too long since I got it. I should start watching movies immediately when I get them...

Just got the movie in the mail last week. Works on my PS3, but it's the newer 250gb super slim. I really don't know if the older models are having problems with the disc or not. If I was gonna guess I'd say the disc is defective. Especially if all other disc's you've tried are working fine.

I have an old "big" ps3 and this disc and never had an issue playing it. Just pulled it out again to test, works fine.

Damn good movie for October viewing.

I bought it brand new at Best Buy for a good deal a long time ago and just recently decided I want to watch it.
I have 400+ movies and tv series' and I've never encountered a problem like this before. There are no scratches at all on the disc.

I never seen The Crazies before, and now I really want to...

I also have the older fat PS3 and it does the same thing for me when I try to play The Crazies. I watched it a couple of times when it first came out on Blu-ray and didn't have any issues, but now it doesn't recognize the disc.

I don't know if this will work but on some discs there is a problem with the BD data utility folder. I've deleted the contents before and it seemed to work for a couple of discs that would not play on my fat PS3.

Mandalorian · 10-15-2013, 05:15 AM

I watched it on my fat 80gig PS3 today.

I watched this for the first time last night(Halloween movie night). I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it almost as much as the DAWN OF THE DEAD re-make. The acting/direction were all solid. I didn't jump out of my seat or anything but I was hooked from beginning to end. Great Halloween watch that I would recommend.

Excellent remake of an obscure little known film and very well done and produced i should say and the PQ is superb and nice extras too.

AnamorphicWidescreen · 12-10-2017, 02:47 AM

Recently watched The Crazies 2010 for the first time recently. Great horror flick, and I'm surprised I missed it for many years. Violent, creepy, and epic in scope - extremely well-done. I like the sense of unease as the sheriff (Olyphant) is slowly realizing something isn't quite right, but not being 100% what the issue is...until it's too late.

I've never seen the 1973 original by Romero, but I suspect that even when I do I will still prefer this more modern version.

I do like some horror remakes, notably the 2004 Dawn of the Dead - which I found far superior to the late '70's original. But, that's just me....

What about Tom Savini's NIght of the Living Dead 1990?

petrified-eye · 12-16-2017, 06:02 AM

I don't care for Dawn remake (I think Land of the Dead is way better) but I dig The Crazies remake still.

As well as that may be Virus and Zombie movies are not the same plain and simple. People just throw it into the Zombie pile cause they're to ignorant to learn the difference.

That's correct, the Crazies are infected humans.

Friendly reminder that this underrated remake turned 10 last week! Now is the perfect time to give it a re-watch.

With a gif of the great underrated Timothy Olyphant I will definitely give it another shot! I didn't care for it too much when it was first released but hopefully that will change on a rewatch.

DaylightsEnd · 12-15-2020, 11:38 PM

4K uhd, please!!!!!!! I'm a big fan of this one.

ps3bd_owner · 08-23-2021, 07:08 PM

Excellent movie.

People who want a movie about a deadly virus/disease should have seen or should see this than Contagion, Songbird or some other flick everyone knows.

I know some folks describe the infected in this film as "zombies," but I'd just call them "Infected" or "Infected Humans." The infected people aren't really braindead zombies as you'd see on other movies and at times they're conscious of what they were doing.

Careful what you put in your bodies. It's always a good idea to read the list of ingredients (even though it doesn't mention everything).

Zillamon51 · 08-23-2021, 10:57 PM

I rewatched this one last year as part of my apocalypse/ contagion marathon. It's solid.

Jay H. · 08-23-2021, 11:22 PM

It's been several years so I'll watch it again soon. Great flick.

DaylightsEnd · 08-24-2021, 02:31 PM

For me, this one has aged very well. It's packed with viable action, solid acting skills, and likeable characters. Very few quasi-apocalyptic, quasi-zombie disaster flicks ever get a big production and beefy budget, like this, with big-star talent. It's a fun watch, exciting, fast-paced, and a great romp. If you like the subject matter, and are an Olyphant fan, you can't lose with this one. I'd line up for two copies of this if it came out on a solid 4k uhd.

anchor_man · 01-10-2025, 01:22 AM

Is it just me or is the dialogue audio really poor on this BD? Sounds blown out/clipping during several scenes, although the bass is nice and full elsewhere. Relatively new Martin Logan F1/C1 with Denon setup, but haven't had any issues with other films so far.
