Back to the Future Comes to DVD… Again?
In case you didn’t know, Back to the Future is my favorite movie of all-time. It wasn’t difficult to make the decision to buy the big trilogy set when it came out on DVD a few years ago:
It’s a great set of DVDs, but now a new set of DVDs has been announced for hitting the street in February 2009. This seems like another lame attempt at getting money if you ask me. They’re releasing all of the movies individually and giving the first Back to the Future film a second disc with bonus features.
I will give Universal credit for the DVD cover art. It looks fantastic. Still, I don’t intend to buy the new DVDs. I would consider BluRays though. 🙂
Sort of reminds me of Star Wars and Indiana Jones with Lucas re-releasing them every so often–and still no Blu-Ray version announced! More money. Though, Back to the Future is worth it–but still…If I’m going to buy them, I want Blu-Ray now–just like with Star Wars. Though, I already have that twice over.
I’m really surprised that Lucas hasn’t brought out the Blurays yet. Perhaps he’s worried about further backlash from the Star Wars freaks. I don’t own any of those films but I know that some are upset about the different versions of the original Star Wars films. If memory serves me correctly, there were versions released that had “enhancements” to the special effects or something like that. I’m certainly no expert on that series of movies. 🙂
