Saving Private Ryan 4k Uhd+Bluray 3Disk 20th Anniversary

Shooting War – A feature length documentary, narrated by Tom Hanks, looking at how WWII was captured on film. Into the Breach: Saving Private Ryan – A 25 minute making of feature that covers all the bases from veteran and historian interviews to inspirations, training, themes, realism etc., some of which is covered above. The Second Blu-ray Disc, “ Supplemental Material,” is where the ALL of the bonus materials are to be found. In terms of visual presentation in 4K UHD with HDR, this is now one of my favorite titles available to show off my 4K television (display) itself. That said, this will make any 4K display look spectacular and leave you, and perhaps those around you in awe at the amount of sheer detail. This is what perfection truly looks like, and I have to say job incredibly well done! Again, in comparison here to the original Blu-ray mix’s DTS-HD 5.1 MA, the Atmos is superior, in my own personal opinion. This earns every bit of a perfect rating and still carries the title of “ DEMO MATERIAL” in terms of audio presentations. This is one of the most in your face intense Dolby Atmos or atmospheric (including DTS:X) mixes that I have ever heard (to date). Once again, I want to emphasize something: Wow!Shooting War” ( 1:28:05– SD) is a very lengthy ( 1 hour+) documentary hosted by Tom Hanks that focuses on war footage from WWII. There’s at first focus on some of the fake footage from the war that was assembled by actual movie studios. Aside from that, this features interviews with the soldiers who fought in the war, and features a lot, I mean, a lot, of embedded military footage from the war (World War II). This proves to be very, very informative and worth the watch after you’ve seen the film. A great companion to the film, for sure. Miller and his Platoon– A look at the group of actors and their never-ending praise for Spielberg and his film. We get some behind the scenes footage, but this is more of an 8 minute homage to Steven Spielberg. Introduction – 2 minutes with Spielberg sharing scenes from the World War II films he shot as a child, his fascination with the era, and the picture's place in film history for the veterans who fought in the war. Along the way, Captain Miller and his platoon, as well as others will come together to find this one soldier. You’ll see some great supporting roles from amazing actors such as Paul Giamatti, Ted Danson , and (the late) Dennis Farina – to just name a few.

Saving Private Ryan - 4k Ultra-HD [Blu-ray] [2018] [Region

Extras: For this 'commemorative' 20th anniversary release, Paramount has created/dug up no new extra features, which is a disappointment. There's just the same uninspiring selection previously released on the Full HD Blu-ray: a 20-minute Making of…; an exploration of the creation of the Omaha Beach sequence; a featurette on the score; a look at the film from the perspective of real-life veterans; plus a few other bits and bobs too minor to mention. Saving Private Ryan” came out in 1998 from legendary director Steven Spielberg. The film’s screenplay was written by Robert Rodat, also known for writing on two other notable films: “ The Patriot” (2000) and “ Thor: The Dark World” (2013). The film won FIVE total Academy Awards, and now is celebrating being 20 years in age, with this “20th Anniversary Commemorative” edition on 4K. Overall, you get no new bonus materials what-so-ever since the previous Blu-ray Disc release(s), or even really the DVD. ALL of the bonus materials are presented in SD (Standard Definition, 480i/p) with the exception of the two theatrical trailers, which are presented in full 1080p HD. Still, these as bonus materials prove to be entertaining and worth the watch if you never saw them before on the previous Blu-ray or DVD releases. I just wish some new retrospective type of interview was done with the filmmaker and cast to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary. It’s obvious we’ll never get an audio commentary from Spielberg, as he doesn’t do those, so that wasn’t going to happen. In terms of detail, it is downright astounding in comparison to the original Blu-ray and absolutely like out of this world in comparison the original DVD. This 4K presentation of 35mm film source material looks superb. The addition of High Dynamic Range is excellent, whether or not you are on Dolby Vision or standard HDR10 capable setup, you’re going to notice how much more accurate the flesh tones are, how much the red of blood is more visually intense, and so forth. “ Saving Private Ryan” had its own unique gritty style. It almost seems washed out, as a result, but it still manages to include a great deal of color at times, which are way more accurate this time around.Parting Thoughts– Hanks and Spielberg both reflect on the film and Spielberg offers a comparison to Schindler’s List.
