I bought this set for the theatrical versions...
they are not here.......that was the only reason why  I bought this....the film noir effect of the narration is what makes this film a classic....stripping it off is sacriledge.....long drawn out sequences of not knowing what is going on....what a joke....the people who think this is better only know what's going on from seeing the narration version a hundred times.....certainly not from reading the acid trip book this is loosely based on.....I utterly despise Deckard being a replicant.....I don't care what Ford and Scott say.....the original cut from the studio is best.....

I was somewhat disappointed by this "ultimate" edition of The Mummy. I like the movie and already own the collector's edition. Still I ordered the "ultimate" edition because I was hoping for tons of extras. Imagine my surprise when I found that disc 2 contained the FULL SCREEN (ptooey!) version. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF VALUABLE DISC SPACE!! Also the previews for The Mummy Returns are not very helpful, now that the movie already runs in theaters and will be out on DVD soon. I guess the "ultimate" edition could've been a LOT more ultimate for my taste... Well, but the movie is still fun to watch and the picture and sound quality is fabulous. JUST LOOSE THOSE NO-GOOD FULL SCREEN VERSIONS!!

This is a great movie, which is why I bought it. But I also bought it because it included a digital copy which does not exist. You'll be asked to sign up for all kinds of movie rewards and ultra violet membership and after all of that, you still will not have a digital copy. I'm very disappointed.

This is not the original version. This is the same version as on the blu-ray set, which was further altered from the 2004 dvd set, which was further altered from the 1997 Special Edition, which was heavily altered from the original theatrical release. Confused yet?
This out of print dvd from 2006 or the also out of print box set from 2008 is the only way to get the original theatrical version on an official dvd. You also get the 2004 updated version as these were 2 disc sets for each movie.

Since I already bought the individual sets from 2006, I have no reason to buy the latest altered ones. The only way I'll buy Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi again is if the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL VERSIONS are included in 16x9 enhanced HD.

The DVD does NOT include the three Roger Rabbit shorts. They are on the BluRay only. Caveat emptor.
You might buy this just to get the three short films.  They are evidently on the BluRay disc only.
On the DVD-  NO  Tummy Trouble,  NO  Roller Coaster Rabbit,  NO  Trail Mix-Up.  Blech!

Boycott this DVD !!!!

MGM has released only 1/2 of the movie !!!!

The other 1/2 has been arbitrarily cut off and thrown away !!!

This film was shot in CinemaScope 2.35:1 aspect ratio in 1968, but on MGM's DVD you are getting a 1.33:1 (Full Screen) aspect ratio !!

So, MGM has cut off the left side or the right side or some from each side of the frame leaving you with NOT EVEN ONE frame of film as the director shot it -- not even ONE frame as this fine film was shown in theaters !!!!

MGM hang your head in disgrace !!!!

This movie is an ALL-TIME classic and I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD.  What a disappointment and WASTE of money.  The DVD does NOT contain the theatrical trailer nor does it contain the deleted scenes.  DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY ON THIS ONE.  You would think that if Paramount went through the time and expense to put it on DVD they could have added one of the greatest deleted scenes of all time (the airplane food scene).  I wonder if is because they sold the rights to that scene to TNT and therefore were unable to put it in the DVD??? It is a shame that Paramount did such a poor job on this DVD release.

OK......as  reported  by  another  Reviewer  the  Restoration  is  good  with  an  excellent  number  of  Extras  included......BUT  ....COHEN  MEDIA  ...have  NOT  included  English  Sub-Titles ...  and  as  much  of  the  dialogue  is  at  times  hard  to  understand  due  to  the  films  vintage  .....I  strongly  recommend  that  anyone  with  HOH  problems  do  NOT  purchase  this  BD........COHEN  MEDIA  obviously  want  to  cut  corners  in  their  releases  and  this  is  not  the  first  time  they  have  decided  that  sub-titles  are  unnecessary  on  their  releases.........  Amazon  state  that  ENGLISH  SUB-TITLEs are  on  the  Blu-Ray  ...BUT  this  is  incorrect...... AVOID...

The biggest omission here is obviously the '77, '80 & '83 Theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy (the 1997 theatrical and 2004 video versions aren't included either, if anyone cares), but there are a lot of deleted scenes still in the vault that disappointingly aren't included here, nor is the Star Wars Holiday Special, nor the documentary "From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making Of A Saga" nor is the documentary "Empire Of Dreams" which was included with the 2004 DVD set. The theatrical trailers from the '04 DVDs are missing as well. Hopefully the NEXT blu-ray release will include all of the above.

IT REALLY STINKS!!!

FIRST IT WAS SINGLE DISC, THEN THERE WAS A 2 DISC RELEASE AND NOW AN EXTENDED 3-DISC EDITION IS UP FOR PRE-ORDER.

CAN SOMEONE AT DREAMWORKS CLARIFY HOW MANY MORE EDITIONS WILL WE HAVE??

PUBLISHING HOUSES LIKE DREAMWORKS ARE TOO BUSY CASHING IN ON GREAT MOVIES LIKE GLADIATOR AND ARE JUST NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE HARD EARNED MONEY PEOPLE SPEND ON BUYING EARLIER VERSIONS OF THE MOVIE.

I am writing this review for the unUltimate Edition as I didn't discover that the Ultimate Edition was only availble in Blue Ray so I was unable to watch it as I do not have a Blue Ray Player. I recommend the theatrical version if you are a comic book fan and I wish that I could have watched the Ultimate Edition.

I love this film but this Collector's Edition gives nothing extra.
Check the previous edition!!! That has letterbox (4:3) and widescreen (16:9) version, this new has only widescreen. No better sound, no better picture quality, no new feauture.
I've got both edition, but I'll sell the Collector's Edition.

I add my one star (I would give 0 if possible) just for the statistics.  I guess they're gonna sell quite a few copies of the theatrical edition anyway, but for me, it's extended edition or nothing ...

As another customer has stated, this version does NOT include the widescreen format.  I have asked Amazon to change their Web page showing the format but please be aware before you buy.

Yes, the extended version (supposedly titled "Untitled", but presented here as "The Bootleg Cut") is a wonderful, immersive experience that is a lot of fun to watch for people who love this very lovable film. But for the uninitiated, as well as anyone who prefers the tighter theatrical cut, or would like to compare the two versions, or to occasionally be able to watch the film with slightly less of a time commitment, or just relive their original experience of seeing the film in the theater... THIS SUCKS. It's been an "exclusive" at Best Buy for months, and I got it there because the deliberately misleading package says this disc "includes" the extended cut. "Includes"? You mean FEATURES! "Includes" means IN ADDITION to something else, presumably the original cut. As there was no specific mention of the original cut on the package, I kind of expected that it was not also "included", but it still irked me to have that confirmed when I got home.

As I said in the review title, in another year or two you can definitely expect an "Ultimate Collector's Edition" or some such, containing both films (as well as, probably, the 6-song Stillwater EP that came with the DVD release of "Untitled" -- which, ahem, DID "include" the original film as well). So, if you can wait indefinitely to own this (un)title on Blu, you could just wait for that to eventually materialize. That said, the extended cut does look and sound terrific on this disc. Oh well, what are ya gonna do.

I purchased this item on April 12, 2014 and it was the one-disc Bluray version. On the product info page, one-disc bluray version is not even listed. And only introduction by the director's son, his commentary and another special feature were available (none of the other special features that were listed on the back of the case are on the disc). Now, I wonder whether the 2-disc or 3-disc bluray editions have better picture quality. The movie is a great classic starring Rock Hudson, Elizabet Taylor and James Dean; one would expect Warner Brothers to give it a better treatment

This is not out but I will tell you why this is not on my Christmas wish list: no extended movies. There are director's cuts of  some of the films. Wrath of Khan is nicely improved with a few added scenes, but The Motion Picture is, frankly, pretty damn good compared to both the original cut (which is in here). I have not bought any Blu Rays of any of the films because of this. I have idea why Paramount is doing this when they could actually put both cuts of these film on the same disc, like Cose Encounters has the original cut, the special edition, and the final directors cut on the one disc.

Before you say, "the Motion Picture was not finished in HD," bollocks. The people who made it created all of their projects in HD and used an HD master. They wanted to show it theatrically but Paramount, at the time, did not want to pay for the added rendering time so it was rendered in SD. However, the people who made it have said they have all the projects archived and all they need to do is load them up and render it at HD... no other work needed except to have some computer crunch it. Worse, the other extended versions all have HD masters!

CBS Paramount- you piss me off. When you give me the goods I will buy it, until then... forget it.
