This is literally all the cut-scenes of the game. I guess I expected it would be higher resolution though - but it's the same old blocky looking video...

I only bought this because I'm a huge fan of the game and because of the price. I mean, you can't beat a penny + $3 in shipping. That's a bargain! It seemed to be a good idea to put all cutscenes together to make it like a movie but I actually got bored through the first 15 minutes. The Broodwar cutscenes are better, of course. What I didn't like was the transition from one cutscene to another. Green lines covered the screen for the first 3 seconds. I liked the menus though. They're reminiscent to the actually game menu.
Storywise, you'll probably won't know what's going on unless you've actually played the game. The extras do provide backstories of each race. What I'm really hoping for Blizzard to do is to release a Starcraft 2 DVD. The cutscenes for the new game are incredible. Lets hope they catch on to this idea. Otherwise, the Starcraft DVD is more of a collectors item for the fan of the game but you can't beat it for the price that you can get it for.

A nice DVD for any starcraft fan who enjoys Blizzard's creative cinematucs. This includes all the cinematic cut scenes from starcraft and brood war except it is missing one from starcraft. There is one cut scene that shows Kerrigan sleeping inside her crysalis as she is being infested. It was only a few seconds long but I do not think it is on this DVD. Other than that, the video is high quality and it is a nice addition to any collection.

When the original DVD came out I felt the $25 price was exorbitant for what amounted to just regular cutscenes from the two games. For those who would like to see the nostalgic tales on the TV without resolution problems this DVD is for you.
