Best movie ever and great image and sound quality! I was surprised since the first movie was made so long ago.

The Bluray is worth buying even if you are like me and own multiple other copies. The color is vivid, everything is in sharp detail, and the sound is richer. I have watched this movie for 40+ years in every format which has been available, including re-release in the theater, and this is the best viewing experience outside of the theater I've ever seen. If you love this movie, buy the Diamond Anniversary edition on bluray. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent movie that can't be beat on uncompressed, digital stereo surround sound. Picture quality is unreal, looks surreal on 1080P HDTV.

This film is great fun in HD.  I loved watching it when it first came out and now The Mummy is here in full force on Blu-Ray.  Colors are crisp, details are wonderful, lighting is shimmering and blacks are thick and pure.  The audio is also top notch with Surrounds in all the right places and Jerry Goldsmith's score just booming.  I don't remember this film ever looking so good, especialy in DVD format in that "Mummy Trilogy" box set.  If anything this Blu is worth the upgrade even if you only spent $20 on the 3 film DVD set.  Can this disc look better, well any film could.  But this is from 1999.. and I have to say well done on this version.

Of course blu-ray is superior in quality and sound, but this movie looks so much better in blu-ray!  The graphics are awesome and the story line is funny for adults and children.

Great picture quality considering the original movie is an old one. Needless to say, many people like the story too!

The bluray looks and sound wonderful, much better than any previous home release I've seen.

It's a great movie, that 'connects' with just about every generation that sees it.

[This review pertains to the 2014 US Blu Ray edition only.]

I love this film. I have previously owned it on VHS and DVD and I've watched it at least 50 times. I couldn't wait for Blu Ray and it does not disappoint. To be sure, the original material is subject to the limits of production that existed at the time it was made. Much of the movie is shot in softer focus than we are accustomed to these days. The titles still suffer from some color bleed and the soundtrack is still a bit tinny. But this is an art house movie. No one is ever going to underwrite a complete Blu Ray remaster and overhaul.

Instead, you can expect a HD transfer of a pristine print, giving you access to more of the cinematography, as it was intended for the big screen. This turns out to be very important, since this is universally acknowledged to be a masterpiece of cinematography. The images acquire a remarkable depth of field, and I found myself noticing details I'd never seen before. I found the extent to which this change alone amplified the film's drama and pathos quite remarkable.

The translation is also very, very good. Previous subs and dubs have failed to capture the literary nuance of the script, adapted from Alberto Moravia's masterpiece of the same name. Somehow the English dub here has been improved dramatically over it's incarnation in DVD, and a LOT more of the book comes through. It's not clear to me exactly what they did to fix it. The voices sound identical, and the memorable lines have been translated in the same way, but the speech fits the action much, MUCH better than the DVD sub did. Watching the English dub with Italian subtitles (and vice versa) gives access to much more of the Italian script than was possible with previous editions. One problem: the dub was missing from several scenes on my copy. I don't really care, but it is a little disappointing, mostly because the new dub is unusually good.

The Blu Ray edition also eliminates the abrupt between-scene cuts that featured prominently in older editions. I always found these jarring, and it's nice to learn that they were artifacts of a bad edit, and not a sour note by Mr. Bertolucci.

Zulu has always been one of my top 10 movies since I saw it in the theater when it was released. I've owned just about every version of it (starting with the VHS) except the laser disc. I recently purchased a new blu-ray from an Amazon seller and the quality of the picture and sound is stunning.
If this movie has a special place in your heart, then don't hesitate to get a blu-ray version.

The transfer of this movie to Blu-ray couldn't be any better, picture and sound quality are great, I have seen some horrible transfers to Blu-ray of new movies, this was done really well!

Like seeing it again for the first time. Definitely the best version of the film in my opinion. Details pop more and the film seems even grittier than the color version. If you're a fan of black and white film, then you will enjoy and appreciate this version.

Picture-perfect high-definition picture quality after the opening scene, which is perhaps done in slightly soft-focus for theatrical reasons. But the rest of the movie looks like it was made today, the high-definition quality on this Blu-ray is that superb.

I will not bother reviewing the movie for its plot or production values, that has been done by many others here. But I will say that when the movie was released in 1975, I thought it was a bit overrated after having looked forward very much to seeing it, but upon viewing it recently on TV and then purchasing this Blu-ray and viewing it in even better high-definition quality than on TCM, I enjoy the story itself more, and I'm very glad at having purchased this Blu-ray.

If you haven't seen this in HD then do yourself a favor and get it along with a player right now. The picture quality is better than 300 and the sound is amazing. Not to mention there are tons of special features. The movie is outstanding, and I can't wait for the next one!

This movie is a classic, and I can confidently say that when I watched it on blu-ray for the first time, it was like really seeing the movie for the first time - like all the other times their had been a blur filter between me and the movie and now, viewing it on blu-ray, that blur filter had been removed.

This should definately be a part of your collection, if for nothing else, just the quality of the video transfer demands it. Not to mention that it's an awesome movie!

If you like high definition this is the movie to own. The video and sound are perfect. I really liked this movie.

I just bought this blu-ray  edition as I have the entire 4 disc collection and the DVD quality of Lonesome Dove, only the best movie ever, is not as good as the three newer ones. This blu-ray edition is way better quality of a picture than the DVD, very clear. Get a lot of popcorn, run time is 373 minutes
