 ABBA Looks Gorgeous in Blu-ray! December 10, 2008
Y. Park (Seoul, Korea)
I used to have the DVD and thought the PQ was fine on my HD TV. But I sold the DVD and bought this blu-ray because I wanted to have and enjoy the best ABBA. You know what? This blu-ray is da bomb in PQ and AQ. Huge improvement! You will enjoy every single bit of each member of ABBA in such detail. The design of main menu and extras, which I believe were re-designed for blu-ray, is beautiful and creative. The each image of gallery of the movie posters looks so sharp and clean in HD. I'm happy I got this blu-ray. I just hope "all" ABBA's previous video materials will be released in blu-ray as well...very soon.
P.S. On the cover, it says the vision is in 1080i but actually 1080p.

The movie was good and fairly entertaining, but it had technical glitches where it would stop and then start again.
Digging the Dancing Queen (or, Thank You for the Music) November 14, 2008
A. Dent (USA)
I watched this DVD at a friend's house. As I entered the living room, ABBA was playing on the big screen home theater and... the kids were watching and dancing like it was a Hanna Montana concert :). It immediately brought back memories of those great late 70's days - was I in high school then? - and us kids watching this very concert movie in a theater and feeling happy and free. It was THAT good. And it still is.
Needless to say, the first thing I did when I got home was to see if a Blu version was available. It was not or, rather not yet. November 25 is still 'the future' at the time I am writing this but the Blu version is already on order, waiting for the release date to ship out. By the way, I would not have hesitated to order the DVD if Blu was not upcoming because the DVD looks flawless too.
Need I say what this is about? Okay, at the height of their glory, ABBA embarked on an Australian tour back in the late 70's. They toured all the big cities down-under and they wowed (is that a verb) everyone. And, while at it, someone made a movie of them wowing (is this REALLY a verb) everyone so that non-Australians could go to theaters and watch them performing in Australia. We get to see concert footage and some backstage takes, a couple of interviews but, at least to me, ABBA is ABBA - the characters on the stage, not the real people with their real problems, so I am happy that most of the movie is showing them performing on stage, not one minute older today than 30 years ago, happy, energetic, strong, harmonious in a loud way and making everyone around happy, then and now.
I just can't wait to watch this, again, in Blu - counting down the days already. And, if anyone is thinking about getting the Mamma Mia! uninspired, tired, morally-dubious, untalented, ridiculous, tasteless cheap imitation - it's actually more expensive - don't bother (see my review).
Fantastic Soundtrack from a Fantastic Movie! October 5, 2008
A. L. Howard (Burbank, Ca USA)
We just loved this movie so much that we saw it 3 times in the theater. The music is so good we had to buy the soundtrack to hold us over until the movie is released on DVD.

Interesting videos of ABBA within this lightweight version of "Help"
Not bad when focused on ABBA
