Great story, great Blu-Ray

Excellent video quality, 9/10 on audio quality. Great story, very enjoyable. Great for people that like to think about the story as it plays in the movie rather than what we see today as one dimensional stories with little thinking required by the audience. Highly recommended

This was an amazing film when I went to see it in the theater, and I wondered what could be done to bring that feeling home.

The answer was to keep the fill-frame IMAX scenes intact for the blu-ray! These scenes add to the tension and buildup of the plot, and make the action scenes easier to digest.

Quality was superb, one of the best blu-rays that I own.

Big fan of the film, was glad to nab this when it first came out!

I am phasing out my VHS tapes so I wanted this on DVD.  I'm glad I bought the Blu-ray version.  The picture is great, and the story is fun.  In my opinion, it would have been an even better movie without the occasional coarse language that movie makers seem compelled to throw into most movies of this type. Regardless, I still enjoy this movie a lot and have seen it several times.

Let's face it: there are some blu-ray titles out there that ashamedly do not take full advantage of all that blu-ray technology has to offer, and that are little more than hyped up versions of DVD releases for which you pay more.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM! I have seen Back To The Future (and the other parts) countless times many years ago, and have not seen it in years. Now my memory has not been affected, I do remember what the movie and the picture quality looked like. But the blu-ray TRULY brings the Back To The Future trilogy back to life -- it was as crisp and detailed like never before, and the whole experience was like seeing it in the movie theatre again for the first time!

This movie, and Avatar, definitely justified the purchase of a blu-ray player. A bit exaggerated I know to say it justified the player -- but the blu-ray movie versions were wholeheartedly worth the price. The bonus features are amazing and it was great viewing all of the archival footage. Highly, highly recommended!

I don't usually write reviews, but I can't help it with this one.
I love the movie and I don't like sentimental movies, it never fails to make me cry, and funny thing is that I watched and bought the Blu-ray for the sole reason is that someone is writing a fanfic about this movie of my favorite ship and it gave a reason to re-watch the movie on Prime.
I own the movie on DVD, and I was never interested in getting the Blu-Ray, but I'm really glad I did.

This is one of my favorite movies ever, but this review is supposed to be about the Blu-Ray (you can read reviews about the movie anywhere), so here's the deal: It's a great package. Not only do you get the movie in high definition on Blu-Ray, but you also get it on DVD, AND you get a digital copy to watch on your computer, iPhone, whatever. That plus all the extras (the original extras from the DVD release are all here, plus some additional ones just for the blu-ray release). The picture and sound quality are excellent. This is a great value for the money.

I was not a fan of this movie when I first saw it years ago, but my wife loved it, so I bought the blu-ray. I'm glad I did. The second time through I was better able to appreciate how amazing the plot truly is. This movie makes excellent use of the full color spectrum, creating an animated film more colorful and vibrant than any I can remember. The characters are believable, the setting (at least in animation) is new and interesting, and the villain is unique both in his methods and personality. I now love this film!

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.

Bought the Blu-Ray, it looks and sounds spectacular.  I love the movie, and the Director's cut, while it takes a little effort to sit all the way through (which is understandable, given the depth of the source material,) fleshes the movie out just enough without overstaying its welcome.

My only gripe is this:  I have always liked having the TRAILERS for the movies I buy on DVD and Blu-Ray to be available on the discs.  If they have all the space on the discs for extras, they can fit in the trailers.  If for no other reason than that I tend to show them to friends and family when we're trying to decide what movies to watch.  The Watchmen Blu-Ray doesn't include the trailers, and that's a real shame because Warners cut together an EXCEPTIONAL teaser trailer for this film.  It really should have been included on the disc.  Hopefully I'm not the only one arguing for the continuation of the original previews being included on DVDs and Blu-Rays, and hopefully the studios will take notice.

I saw this in the theatre, many times on DVD and just recently saw this again. I would love this on Blu-ray if they would ever make it. Simply the whole movie worked for me. Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne were great. The story was interesting (Although I guess most negative reviews were based due to the premise of the movie, but I didn't know what the history of the movie going in, so that does not effect me). The sound was incredible in the theatre and on DVD.

Sorry if this review seems small. I think the numbers speak for this movie. There are approx 150 5 star reviews for this and 50 1 star reviews. You make the judgement call, but all I can say is that I loved it, as for how much influence that has on you, I don't know. Give it a try, it is free streaming right now for Prime Members.

Since I liked the theater movie and its story, I wanted to see if the Blu-ray version carried over the superb Sound Track, and it does.  It is perfect for showcasing our newly upgraded surround system with an awesome Subwoofer.  Great visual effects and sound, with a good story and acting make this disc a winner for anyone's collection.

This is a very well made movie. The animation is excellent and the picture quality on this Blu-ray disc was fantastic. I really enjoyed seeing all the detail.

Just lovely. I adored the photography in this. Also, the aspect ratio...IMDb says that it's 1.37:1 (4:3, basically), but in the theater the image looked square. I was sure it was 1:1. Just the physical act of receiving images in the theater was pretty exhilarating, and the blu-ray transfer is flawless.

The story is pretty straightforward, nothing groundbreaking, but it's well-told and the understated performaces (particularly from the lead) fit perfectly into the mood of the film. The music (the film has no score, but often the characters either perform music or play records) was perfect, as well. I hope they release a soundtrack. The piano over the closing credits, an adaptation of a Bach chorale, was so sweet that I actually sat through the credits, even though Marvel wasn't going to reveal their next villain at the end of them.

This might be in my top ten at the end of the year, but it's definitely worth a watch whether or no, and a few re-watches as well. A small, tight, lovely movie that I hope finds an audience in this country.

I had a previewed used DVD copy I bought from a liquidation of a Blockbuster, but I wanted to upgrade to Blu-ray, so I bought the Blu-Ray DVD from Amazon and got a free streaming rental from Amazon Prime to hold me until the Blu-ray arrived.
The streaming version was good, very crisp, better than my old DVD copy, but when the Blu-ray arrived I watched it again.
It is the best version I have seen, the sound is incredible, loved the commentary with Statham, he sounds so different than from when he is "in character". I think it definitely is  worth it to get the Blu-Ray.

the first time i ever saw this film i was only 12, yes 12 years old. for some reason i found myself completely drawn into the story line, characters, and everything to do with this film. almost 25 years later finally i decide to buy it and surprisingly it's available on Blu-ray. the video transfer looks absolutely incredible, especially the wide aerial shots of Japan. audio is standard English 5.1 Dolby Digital Ex & 6.1 DTS-ES, the latter sounding the best for obvious reasons. if you're a fan of the film and considering purchasing the Blu-ray version you won't be disappointed.
