Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunning sound and film!
Review: The DTS version of SPR is for you if you have 5.1 speakers! The beginning, and end sequences will amaze you with the sound coming at you from all sides.

The film is brilliant. With fine performances by Hanks and Sizemore, in particular. And excellent battle sequences.

One of the best War films made!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Spielberg strikes again...
Review: His typical, good latest graphics, same anti-White Christian BS

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MOVIE EVER!
Review: This is the best movie to me! It's very realistic (no made up stuff) and makes The Thin Red Line a children's movie! Spielberg made this movie VERY real and the script makes the movie with cool battles, situations, and characters. This is a movie that you must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great cinematography
Review: This is one of the most realistic films I've ever seen, but mind you, I couldn't sit through "Schindler's List". It's not for the faint at heart, it's hard to make it all the way through. I've seen it twice and the first time I just barely made it, and the second time I didn't. The cinematography is magnificent, though and Tom Hanks is wonderful. It's worth it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Movie, Good Extras, Fair DVD Quality
Review: While I believe that this is one of the greatest movies of the 1990's, I am somewhat disappointed by the picture quality. In early battlefield scenes, the picture is grainy (supposed to be like that for "realism"? I don't remember the film that way), white specs in a scene toward the end, and the worst layer change I've ever encountered (slow and right in the middle of a scene). The special features are very good, and the movie superb, but I wish they did a better job on video transfer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: dvd sound not as good as laser disc format
Review: The documentary style cinematography, the absence of hollywood-style bravado, and the graphic content of this film make for a chilling experience that makes for many redundancies in the reviews. It is an awesome movie and deserves all the credit it receives. It may, however, be too disturbing to watch many times. As for the format of this masterpiece, DVD shows much promise from its transfer of its documentary-like hues and tones (although being color blind hinders accuracy); however, the sound through a Denon DTS/Dolby receiver wasn't as earth shaking as the Laser Disc version (yes I still have one of those clunkers).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not a depiction of war, but a depiction of men in war.
Review: An easy 5. For once I am nearly speechless. To those who complain that it incorrectly depicts war (or a war) I say: It's a movie, not a documentary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING CLOSE IN REALISM
Review: THIS MOVIE IS MAGICAL. IT GIVES A INSIDE LOOK AT THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER. IT CARRIES THE VIEWER SWIFTLY THROUGH THE EVENTS AT D-DAY. WHEN THE MEDIC WADE WAS DYING, I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TOUCHING SECTION IN MOVIE HISTORY. IT SHOWS THE HEARTBREAK, THE HUMOR AND THE WORLD WE SHOULD NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a great movie!
Review: What can I say, other than what a great movie! Tom Hanks is given the gruelling job of searching out a mothers last living son from the war ridden coasts of France. But when the boy does not want to go but rather stay, and fight his last battle, Tom is forced to stay. But will Tom Hanks loose even more than his rank if he stays to insure that Private Ryan gets home safely to his heartsick mother? A very touching movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Saving Private Ryan
Review: This was an excellent movie by far. As a combat veteren of the Panama conflict and Desert storm Steven Spielberg depicted these battles as real as can be. I know this for a fact because i experienced something a lot similar as did are great heros of WWII. I recommened that everyone should see this movie. It will give you a better idea of what we america servivemen go through in combat.
