This movie has been out on digital home video for a while. As someone whom has recently upgraded to HD I was interested to know if it's worth the upgrade from dvd which of course involves buying the movie again. The short answer is yes. If that's made your mind up then add it to your cart & enjoy. If you want some further info, read on.
Abba The Movie was shot using high quality Panavision cameras in widescreen. It's essentially the 70's equivalent of HD vision. This movie, like most features shot using this process is a visual feast. Couple that with the newly mixed and mastered audio, which really adds depth and a bit of grunt to the original stereo sound and what more could you ask of a music Blu-ray?
There is one major flaw with this presentation of Abba:The Movie on Blu-ray. The bonus material is only available via picture in picture playback. This clumsy attempt at an interactive viewing experience is a big mistake and costs this otherwise brilliant BR a five star rating. I suggest you hold on to the 2 disc dvd version, if you have it to view the excellent interview with Benny, Björn and director Lasse Hallström as a stand alone presentation. The three artists are in fine form especially Lasse who's career has continued after this movie to become one of the worlds most visionary film makers. A must have for any Abba fan.
And finally, to quote those soaked to the skin fans in Sydney...

Abba - The Movie (2-Disc Special Edition).
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2021Verified Purchase
A mixture of documentary and rather slim storyline, this feature film covers Abba's tour of Australia in 1977; it features some 19 songs performed mainly on-stage during the tour with some backstage footage and media session clips; the storyline is of a fictional music journalist trying to obtain an interview with the group with little success.
The film clearly was shot more as a publicity item rather than a proper documentary – it does rather depict Abba as a teen-fan group rather than the widely popular phenomenon they were to become, so it has a lot of inane kids interviews and input from patronising adults; one will buy this for the concert footage and perhaps for the nostalgia element if one is old enough to remember the period.
It's an enjoyable enough family movie and no doubt is something Abba fans will want in their collection.
The feature disc in the set has available subtitles in English (though no song lyrics); the second disc has a 40-minute interview with the film director, Benny and Björn reminiscing about the film and tour – the other items are just picture galleries and other ephemera. The interview is in Swedish with English subtitles.

Great film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2021Verified Purchase
If you love Abba or you know someone who does then you need to buy this DVD. I saw this movie on TV many years ago and always said I would buy it once I got a DVD player. Well the moment I got one I ordered this and haven't looked back since. It is such a feel good movie and it plays all their great songs as they travel on their various tours all over the world. Tom Oliver who played Lou in Neighbours plays 3 characters in the film which seems weird but it works really well. Its a great story where a journalist is set a task to get an interview with Abba on their tour. You see him travelling all over the place and eventually he gets his interview with them. Its quite comical in places but such a good watch.

Abba - Live in Australia
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2020Verified Purchase
This film shows how manic and crazy the auzy's were for Abba. Features live performances and includes many tracks from the LP released alongside the original film in 1978 - Abba-The Album. Having been involved in Broadcasting myself for some 40 years, I know what it can take to get that interview. The film tells a story of a very determined presenter who just couldn't catch them until the last moment he gets lucky. Please remember this film was made in the early days of Video, but non the lest the strength and power of Abba is the feel good factor we have come to love them for.

Slightly disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2019Verified Purchase
I saw this in the cinema in 1977. Sadly, unlike ABBAs music, the film is very dated. The 'special effects' accompanying 'I'm a Marionette' I found almost embarrassing. Picture quality was good in places but the sound on the Blueray version (LPCM 5.1) lacked punch which was my biggest disappointment.
