The Omen Collection - Review

Packaging: 20th Century Fox should be ashamed of the packaging for this disc set. I have collected movies for over 25 years. This included VHS, LaserDisc, DVDs and Blu-Rays. I currently own over 3500 DVD/Blu-Rays. I typically don't submit reviews, but the Omen (original) is one of my favorite movies. Regrettably, the packaging is one of the worst I've seen. It remindes me of the cheap Warner Brother's cardboard covers. But worse, this cover doesn't even have standard spindle retainers. The cover is a thin (too thin) carboard with adhesive circular foam spindles. On the copy I receive the "security tag" was glued to the foam spindle. In order to remove the disc, I had to pull off the security tag which in turn pulled off the spindle. I now have a new collection with 1 disc that won't stay in the case.

Move/Transfer: The movies are great. The Omen 1 and 2 hold up well and are great movies. The Omen III is not up to par with the first 2, but completes the series. The new version does not have the magic of the original Omen (missing the well acted transformation of Gregory Peck). The video and audio transfers are both very good.

Despite the packaging, I'm happy to see the collection on Blu-Ray. I may try and purchase each movie seperately in an effort to get the standard Blu-Ray covers. The packaging issue is not limited to The Omen. The irregular packaging of The Planet of the Apes suffers as well. When will the studios spend the extra 20 cents and standardize the packaging which will help with disc storage, and with disc protection over time. December 30, 2008

is to hi cost.

The Omen have 4 parts and in Blue Ray only have 3 parts, The last part is only in Standard DVD box Set.

And the Blue Ray Boxset cost over $80.00.

very hi cost I think. December 22, 2008

Good Movie Collection

I ordered this to add to my blu ray collection and I was very happy with my purchase. The transfer of the older Omen movies to Blu Ray was quite good and these are timeless horror movies. If you are looking for a good horror flick that isn't all blood and guts and gore, these are the movies you want to see. They have enough horror content to make them scary and disturbing (which is what you WANT in a horror movie) but they aren't extremely graphic and bloody. November 24, 2008

Great Transfers, sound etc.. but

The cardboard case should have been a plastic blu ray case. It was delivered to me crushed from shipping. Discs were fine though. The case wasn't destroyed or even too damaged but I am a person who gets annoyed at small imperfections and the several creases in the case bother me. One other complaint: It should have included Omen 4, even though it was a truly bad made for TV movie it should have been in there.

The good: The transfer looked great. The sound was equally as good. Lots of extras.

4 stars would have been 5 if Omen 4 was included November 19, 2008

Classic Horror Trilogy on Blu-ray

This is one of my all time favorite horror series. All three movies look and sound better than I have ever seen. The original Omen comes loaded with extra features on Blu-ray. Omen 2 and 3 however have nothing extra on them that did not appear on the DVD editions. This was a little disappointing for me. At least they could have thrown in a trivia track or something. The Omen remake is the same exact disc that was previously released on Blu. My one BIG complaint about this set would have to be the packaging. Considering the price of the set, it comes packaged in a very shoddily made box. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be "Earth Friendly" by not using any plastic housing for the discs, but Fox seriously dropped the ball on the packaging. The outer case has very cool artwork, but it is not sturdy at all. The movies are housed on a fold out inner jacket where each movie is simply held in place with a foam rubber hub. There is no booklet or anything else. Not only is the box cheaply constructed, it is also waaaay too big for a Blu-ray. It is about the size of a regular DVD, which causes it to really stick out amongst the rest of my collection.

Bottom Line: If you love the Omen series as much as I, you won't be disappointed with the actual movies. However, be warned that the packaging is really not in keeping with other sets in this price range (e.g. The Matrix, The Godfather) October 14, 2008
