Simply one of the most moving pictures I have ever seen. Any chnace this great documentary might get a Blu-Ray release? I know its not a mass market title, but I would love to add this to my collection.

True, but didn't Chronos get a Blu-Ray release...wasn't that from a small indie studio? Also, Ron Fricke(director of Baraka) directed Chronos, so maybe there is a small sign of hope?

Koyaanisqatsi is one of my top 3 favorite films of all time, but it is older and was filmed in 35mm, whereas Baraka was filmed in 70mm. For pure eye candy appeal, Baraka would be irresistible in HD and I would gnash my teeth if it were released in BD only.

The original batch of discs came in a cardboard case with a sleeve that the disc slid into. The sleeve was part of the cardboard jacket, not lined in any way. From what I've heard, subsequent batches have come in a standard keepcase.

Yea, had I known they were going to reissue this in a standard case I would have held off. Plus, I believe some of the early batches had a defect in the authoring. I know my first copy did.

I just got this during the DD sale too in a standard blue case. Absolutely stunning. Picture quality rivals every disc I have ever seen. Demo material for sure.
