Summary: WW2 truth
Review: I'm a twelve year old girl, and I just loved this movie. I've always been facinated by WW2 and this movie tells and shows the truth. It's very realistic, and graphic. Children under ten should definetly not see it(because of the graphics). If you faint or get quesey at the sight of blood I advise you not to watch it.

Summary: What it was like.
Review: Interestingly enough, the reviews that dock this movie stars are written by men and women who have never served in battle complaining about bad plot development, or one-sided story telling, or just another fuzzy Speilberg film. Funny however, is the fact that I have heard no World War II veterans or even war veterans in general complain about this film's realism, that is because this film does an excellent job of depicting what war was like for the average soldier. Saving Private Ryan put to motion many of the bloody accounts I have been reading since I was a 7th grader about World War II. Reading or hearing about a shell landing several feet away and blasting a soldier with his buddy's brains is one thing, but actually seeing it makes one realize just exactly how bad war is. The story was good too and touched me so much that I thanked a Korean vet for his service to our country. After a minute or two of silence to choke back tears, he thanked me and told me Saving Private Ryan was so real that when the first shots were fired in the movie, he wanted to duck for fear that the North Koreans were once again firing on him. He then told me about his experiences during the Korean War which was enlightening and something I will remember for a long time. This is an excellent movie and instead complaining about its inadequaces people should go to their local veterans center and thank those men who reside there for their willingness to die so that we may be free. Or, are we too busy complaining about so-called bad movies?

Summary: Saving Private Ryan-DVD
Review: The Best DVD you will ever buy and the closest version to the theatre I've ever seen even in plain dolby it's sounds extravegant,as far as in dolby digital and dts if you have never been in battle the sound of this movie in dts and dolby digital is close enough. As for the movie well Steven has done his powerful and engrossing masterpeice.This is all you can call this movie or film because it is a masterpeice the only downfall is that the acadamy should have given this best picture.Well let's see them take there mistake to the grave in this version. This is a film that I, quite frankly never get tired of seeing this is the film you wan't to be stranded with on an island.Because no matter how you see Pvt.Ryan it will always grip you the last memerable film of the last decade and the century.No war film will ever capture the brutal and gut wrenching horrors of war.Steven Speilberg gives you and in your face 28 minute version of Omaha Beach and the Invasion of Normandy.He makes you see hardships you think your job is hard look at this movie and see a hard job. The incredable jaw dropping start of the movie where the boats arrive to the beach only to have an insumountable attack that kills every single soldier in some of the boats. We see Cpt .Miller played by a stoic Tom Hanks leading his confused company to the beach wall.As they get there they find out that most of there company is either dead or unaccounted for. Unaccouted for and ill equipped they open the beach and the first attack on the beach is succesful. When Cpt.Miller goes back to his commanding officer he is given an assignment,go behind enimy lines with 8 men to safely return 1 man Pvt.James Ryan who's 3 brothers were lost in combat. If you do not feel proud to be an american or at least thankful of the men of World War 2 for risking there lives on the feild of battle.This movie will give you that feeling.An incredible and truly epic film and the best War movie ever made.This movie will be rememberd forever.

Summary: DTS Soundtrack
Review: This film has one of the best soundtracks using DTS and will push your system to the limits of home cinema. Right from the start inside the boats and the shots flying over head. The film is very real and effective even though its 2 hours 49 mins. You will need a strong stomach at the start though.

Summary: War, what is it good for?
Review: Saving Private Ryan from acclaimed director Steven Spielberg manages to portray the horror of war without ever making you want to turn the film off. It's excellence must surely lie in the battle scenes with the initial D-Day landings recreated with stunning accuracy. the film however can't keep up this pace and atmosphereand slips into war film cliches soon after. The hero who has seen it all, the outcast, sharpshooter, wise-cracker e.t.c are all present and correct. Still with these problems you keep watching as Captain Miller (Hanks) struggles with the war and mission they were assigned... to Save Private Ryan. As your interest is almost gone it explodes in stunning style. An attack on a machine post leaves another member of the squad dead sparks a mutiny which is handled superbly by all of the actors. The following battle will leave you shell-shocked with the ominous approach of Nazi tanks and troops starting an all most hour long battle. With some technical errors, uncharacteristic for Spielberg, means Saving Private Ryan isn't the classic film that was promised. However it is still a must due to the unrivalled battle scenes.
