    Blu Ray pressing. Region Code A. Abba's documentary of their 1977 Australian tour features great concert performances and behind-the-scenes footage of the band as they make their way through the land down under. Abba-mania was in full force at the time and the airport scene at the beginning of the film is reminiscent of Beatlemania at it's peak. Includes great concert scenes of the band performing their biggest hits and other favorites. Universal.

    ABBA: The Movie [Blu-ray] Reviews:
    Fantastic 5 Star Review
    2009-09-22 - If you are a fan of ABBA then you will enjoy this DVD. It is too bad that so many of the songs were not full versions, but otherwise very good sound and picture quality.

    It's A Documentary and, I Guess, A Quasi-Musical 5 Star Review
    2009-08-19 - In a way, it is a musical. The plot is thin, yes, and can get quite tedious after seeing the DJ get dejected and missing them until the end, but its still one. Like when he's shocked that a ticket costs $50 some guy is trying to sell him in the beginning, cue Money, Money, Money (I know I'm stretching it, but in certain explanations, they do seem stretched). But that's besides the point. This, along with certain other ABBA DVDs, is the only way to see them live, because, as most fans know, they didn't like to travel. And its a real treat to hear Get on the Carousel as they'll probably never release it on any kind of music format. The other songs sound great live especially SOS, Money, Money, Money, He Is Your Brother, Intermezzo No. 1, Why Did It Have to Be Me, Fernando, Dancing Queen (actually, all the songs sound good live). The three music videos (The Name of the Game, Eagle and Thank You For the Music) are in the movie, mainly (like anything that girl, you know who I mean, the one from the Disney Channel, she's like Superman/Clark Kent except with a bad wig and she likes to "leak" suggestive pictures of herself onto the Internet but still calls herself a roll model for young girls, puts out with that garbage show/concert "movie"/feature length "movie") just to plug them as the songs that will be featured on their next album (aptly titled "The Album").

    Silly yet enlightening... 4 Star Review
    2009-07-04 - ABBA The Movie, has an interesting plot that never quite developes into a satisfying view. That said, the movie presents an era and unique glimpse behind the scenes that we have not seen before. For an ABBA fan, the romp is enlightening.

    Fantastic! 5 Star Review
    2009-06-22 - I am an extreme ABBA fan. Having this DVD is the next best thing to a visit with the group. I'm glad the movie was produced and made available to their world-wide admirers. Stefan

    Not as good as the Number One Hits DVD 2 Star Review
    2009-04-27 - I purchased this and the Number One Hits DVD at the same time. I was expecting a lot better sound quality and showing ABBA on stage performing their songs in concert. At times it appeared to be more like an amateur video shot with no direct sound connection to the microphones, but instead just ambient sound through the audiance. The editing also cut back and forth during songs to a quasi story of some country and western DJ assigned by his station manager to get an exclusive interview with ABBA and put it on the air in a special program. But the baffoon has no credit credentials and hasn't the first clue about how to set up an interview with the manager.

    So the movie takes us around Australia with the DJ chasing and getting kicked out of every concert because he has no ticket or press pass.

    Some of the songs sung in the concert I've never heard. Don't wish to hear again.

    If the movie had concentrated on ABBA, behind the scenes more, being on a road tour and just interviews with fans and a much better sound feed and cameras set up to film a concert, this might have been good. As it was, I resold it faster than it took to watch it.

    The other DVD, Number One Hits is worth the money. I'd pass on this one.
