Saving Private Ryan [Blu-ray]

I appreciate this movie more now that it has been so many years and there still has not been another war movie that even comes close to the excitement of the battle action scenes. The movie felt like trauma the first time I saw it. Over time, the tragic story of war in a bygone era has been compounded by nostalgia for the time of when the film was released and the greatness that was once associated with the United States. It is like a historical artifact that celebrates the stability we enjoyed, during what I remember as being an enlightened time after the cold war ended and before 9/11, which I understand the movie as celebrating and paying tribute to the previous generations that made it possible. The pain associated with that loss for me is indescribably devastating, given the future in which we find ourselves today. I think it might be something like grief.

名作中の名作‼️

命令があり得ないけどリアルな戦争映画

通常のBlu-rayと同じでしょ?と思いましたが、音質映像が格段に違うな!て感じました。購入して良かったです!満足です!

品物や梱包や配送も満足できました。

作品自体は星５の最高の映画 どの作品も大体ブルーレイと４Kの違いはさほどないと思います。 そして どの４KのCD-ROMのデザインはシンプル過ぎて残念 過去のブルーレイみたいにカッコよく作って欲しい。

有名な冒頭のシーン、UHDで恐ろしい臨場感でした！

Great movie a must have to watch over and over again and again

I picked up the Sapphire BR SPR a month ago and finally got around to watching & hearing it. First I still have the DVD DTS version so I was currious as to the upgrade in the video but also how the two audio tracks compared; DTS vs DTS-HD. The video transfer is an excellent upgrade over the DVD though it still retains some of that so-called documentry grainess in some areas as it was intended. The colors are as they should be in the pallete of War....greens, browns, greys, blacks and yes red. It's going to make you say...Wow in the sense like seeing Monsters,Inc or Avatar. But the details throughout in uniforms, buildings, people, weapons brings the realism of war closer than ever. Probably too close especially in the famous "Beach Scene" where the reality of what rel war probably was with body parts flying and exposed. The audio portion didn't disappoint and frankly will rock your house and senses. There are many forums and topics that are always asking,"What Blu-ray to show off your HT" and about every poll and answer will have Saving Private Ryan on that list.Even when it came out on DVD with the DTS format it was considered one of if not the best sounding movie to make use of you HT sound. The new DTS-HD track does deliver a more fuller and open sound than the normal DTS track which is no slouch itself. To me it was like comparing D.D 5.1 to DTS 7.1. I felt I could detect just more sounds in the lower and higher fequencies with just better details. The first 20-25 minutes of the movie is a must for audio fans. The movie itself is flat out good but it's no typical war movie like Patton, Battle of the Buldge, Tora-Tora-Tora or Midway. While those were of historical happenings they didn't deal with the real brutality and emotions of what War can bring. In Saving Private Ryan you see and feel it and it hits you squarely between the eyes. If no-one comes away with some gut check, heart wrentching, or a slight tear in the first 25 minutes of this movie they're either dead or comatose. Tom Hanks as Capt. John Miller, is given orders to go deep and locate one Private Ryan and bring him back when it's learned three of his brothers were all killed in one week. During their mission they encounter others caught up with war itself, the uncertainity and just trying to survive. They lose a few of their own while seeing the effects on both soldiers and cilvans. While the Beach Scene is as emotional as you can see the one with Wade the medic getting shot is just gut wrentching. Laying bleeding from several bullets the entire groupsitting around Wade, is scrabbling to plug the holes and stop the blood flow while asking Wade for directions on what to do. You can sense their hope fading and helplessness as their friend crys out for his Moma and doesn't want to die for several minutes which seems longer. They finally find someone who knows Ryan and about where he is. After locating Ryan and giving him the news they expect he'll follow but Ryan refuses saying he has orders to protect one of two bridges left and his current platton buddies are now "his only brothers". Facing lack of ammo, soldiers and against all odds, Miller (Hanks) takes control and decides on protecting the bridge. The ensuing Last Stand of the Alamo type battle in the town is close and brutal with several losing their lives in the process. Miller, always keeping Ryan out of harms way is shot while trying to retrive the detonator for the bridge. At the last minute everyone is saved by a pair of P-51's along with reinforcements. Hanks wound is fatal but not before telling Ryan,"earn this...Earn It". As the film returns as it did in the beginning the older Ryan asks his wife has he led a good life and been a good man while standing in front of Capt. Millers tombstone. It's hard to imagine those saying anything bad about this movie are calling it "over-rated". They probably have a negative outlook on anything military and war itself as it's a waste of money first and lives second. While it was a movie veterans praised the film as the most realastic depiction of war especially the Normandy landing. Truely they were America's Best Generation but so sad todays doesn't appreciate them or their sacrifice.

This shall be a review of Steven Spielberg's 1998 film, 'Saving Private Ryan', on Blu Ray. The plot basically revolves around a group of 8 American soldiers led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks), who, following the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944, are sent behind German lines to find and rescue one man, Private James Ryan (Matt Damon). Along the way, each man questions the sense of the mission and uses this with the hope of finding his answer. That's basically the plot of the film. However, that is not all. The film is known for its intense opening 26 minute battle scene on Omaha Beach and for its all-out, realistic depiction of combat. The film also boasts an incredible cast. As mentioned already, you have Tom Hanks and Matt Damon playing the lead characters and both actors are simply outstanding here, in my opinion. However, you should also recognise some other familiar faces, such as Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Giovanni Ribishi, Barry Pepper, Jeremy Davies and even Vin Diesel. The list really does seem endless, but it is the acting talent on hand with this film that makes it so memorable. Finally, the Blu Ray quality. Picture: 9/10. I am going to give the picture quality a solid 9. I bought this to replace my DVD copy (which was fairly battered) and, may I say, this release did the job very nicely for me. There is a massive improvement in picture over my DVD counterpart. Basically, the colours, textures and general sharpness are all on top form. While some grain does remain throughout the film, that is only to be expected, given that this is a war film. Apart from that, the picture is very sharp and has been wonderfully cleaned up, ensuring that a solid transfer is guaranteed here. Sound: 9/10. The sound also gets a 9 from me. In fact, I would say that, if you want to hear 'Saving Private Ryan' in the best possible way in your own home at the present, get this. The sound is absolutely fantastic, even on a standard Plasma setup! With the battle scenes, you can hear every bullet fly, every explosion and feel the intensity. The dialogue then is crystal clear and John Williams' score is wonderful to hear in such clarity now on Blu Ray. Lastly, I would recommend a purchase of the 2-Disc Special Edition Blu Ray. The first disc is the film, while the second disc contains the Special Features and many of these are in HD, too, which is excellent. Staying with this, the special features themselves primarily focus on the making of the film and they are very interesting, all things considered. So, to conclude, 'Saving Private Ryan' (the two disc edition) is an absolute bargain on Blu Ray. I bought it off here fairly recently to replace my DVD copy and I was more than satisfied with the purchase. If you haven't seen this film, I strongly recommend that you do. It is Spielberg at his absolute best! If you happen to have the DVD and are wondering if you should upgrade, my suggestion is to go for it. Money well spent. Thanks for reading my review. I hope it helps.

Compra internacional que chegou antes do previsto (2 dias antes) e o disco é maravilhoso! a qualidade da embalagem é superior as que já estamos acostumados (embalagem azul) e o disco não apresentou erros durante a reprodução. O filme apresenta dublagem e legendas em português do Brasil. O som em dolby atmos é insano e o 4k das imagens é fenomenal. O combo perfeito!
