Alias - Blu-ray Forum

MD-Blu · 11-01-2008, 11:22 PM

I WANT Alias on Blu-ray, who else does? I don't know who owns the series, but I hope they'll release at least Season 1 on Blu soon.

DEMCAD · 12-13-2008, 01:13 AM

Alias would look so good on blu-ray. I can't wait until it's out. I wonder will they release one season at a time or maybe a series pack.

Blufury · 12-13-2008, 02:01 AM

Definitely a buy for me. They could easily release the complete series in a rambaldi type box (like the dvd series set).

PVJAG · 12-13-2008, 04:47 AM

I've actually never watched this show but would possibly pick it up as a blind buy. I like TV shows on Blu..

Gone2HiDef · 12-13-2008, 05:10 AM

With all my current BD buying, I haven't been able to justify affording the $150-$200 for the Rambaldi Box DVDs. So I fear what a BD version would set me back. I've always wanted the complete series, but financially I may settle on the DVD…someday.

I have that set! But if they do release a blu-ray version like that, they should spring for the plastic disc holders. The cardboard scratches up the discs!

Disney owns it through ABC. So when/if it comes out, it should have perfect picture and audio.

Chepu · 05-11-2010, 01:53 PM

any news?

Rambaldi47 · 05-19-2010, 06:18 PM

This is a must-have show for me. I have the complete set on dvd and it just doesn't look that good on my 52" hdtv. In Blu, it would look amazing. One of the most underrated shows, IMO.

RazMansReality · 06-18-2010, 03:42 PM

I love the show I'm rewatching it right now on DVD it's amazing! A Blu Ray release would be fantastic & I think season 1 is rumored for this year & I hope it's true!

I hope it's true as well, although if they start there, they better finish it and release the rest of the seasons. This is my favorite show of all time along with Chuck, so I would buy them on Blu-ray in a heartbeat.

Eh...will the transfer be as good as it can be? Yes, Disney has done amazing on Blu with every release I have seen.

However, when it was on the air, Alias was known as "the worst looking show in HD". The cinematography supposedly had a lot of lighting issues and while resolution is obviously better, from my understanding the HD versions looked "worse" in some cases because of issues with how it was filmed (by cinematographers who were filming like it was in SD).

Now, I can't confirm that for myself as I never saw it in HD during it's initial run, but I do remember it being very notorious at the time (especially during the last two seasons when the show tone became overall darker, visually and conceptually).

All that said, I love Alias and would likely pick it up on Blu if not ridiculously overpriced. I have the first 3 seasons on DVD but would buy the whole thing for completion sake when/if they became available.

My guess is we may see a release if the reboot is picked up.

It was shot on 35mm, so it would look amazing if done right

SpaceDog · 03-30-2011, 03:48 PM

I would certainly buy it - but I'm not sure that they'd see the value in getting it released. As great as the series was, it never reached blockbuster status, and you'll find the studio weighing how many people have already purchased the series on DVD against how many would upgrade or buy for the first time on blu-ray.

Rambaldi47 · 07-07-2011, 05:43 PM

I want this show on Blu so badly! It is my all-time favorite show, especially seasons 1 and 2! It was so underrated and then they ruined season 4 by dumbing it down to try to get new viewers. The DVDs look bad on my 52" tv so a blu-ray set is definitely needed

pashkito · 03-14-2012, 08:25 PM

It is very astonishing that Alias does not exxist in Blu-Ray a sure buy for me for all seasons though I already have the dvd Bundle !!

MD-Blu · 09-27-2014, 03:29 PM

Has anyone heard anything about a possible release of this show on Blu?

mayorofsmpleton · 09-27-2014, 06:02 PM

It's in HD on Netflix but they've replaced a lot of the music...

I'd buy this in an instant.

Mobe1969 · 09-27-2014, 09:29 PM

Replaced music? Not the score, you mean like songs?
