Blu-ray Review The Stand: The Original Mini-Series (1994) - Bluray Review (1 Viewer)

After watching the first chapter on Blu-ray, I popped in the old DVD just to compare, and even though the Blu-ray (maybe just by virtue of the source material) isn't of astounding quality, I thought it was a huge step up compared to the DVD.

That is why I have been continuously saying that this Blu-Ray is a big upgrade, because the existing DVD sucked.

This is one of my all time favorites so I would love to see it properly rendered. I currently own the DVD's but will be looking out for the 2020 release you mentioned.

Would that be the 2020 release?

Found it very interesting but not at all ironic that the Stand blu seems to have sold out at the moment...

The 2020 - 2021 Mini-series was....Meh. A disappointment for me. I think overall, I prefer the original 1994 version.

I agree, the new version was a major disappointment. It was well-produced with some very likeable actors, but I could never get into the story. It really fell flat.

I did pick up the Blu-Ray of the 1994 production, and was pleasantly surprised by the picture quality. Not great, for sure, but better than I expected.
