Movie Reviews of Raid on Entebbe
Movie Review: 2007 edition is terrible
Summary: 2 Stars
Raid on Entebbe is a tightly directed film that portrays one of Israel's finest hours - it is a tense story of incredible danger, and heroic rescue. Unfortunately, the 2007 edition is like watching a 1960's television set with terrible reception. Amazon should not sell this version at any price.Movie Review: Terrible picture
Summary: 2 Stars
I give it two stars because it's a great movie and very hard to get. But the picture deserves 1 star.Movie Review: Wish I'd read the reviews first
Summary: 1 Stars
It's a great movie. Unfortunately my four hour mode vhs off air copy made about 30 years ago is a superior recording to the dvd I just watched which I presume is the current release, having bought it Jan 15, 2010. There is no question whatsoever that this dvd was mastered from a vhs. How can I tell? When the "hi-fi" audio tracks of a vhs tape mis-track it produces a very distinctive fluttering sound. This dvd is full of that sort of mistracking. Then there's the overlap at the reel change where approximately 45 seconds of the show is repeated, followed immediately by a breakup and an upcut that omits about 95% of one scene. For a commercial release this kind of quality is totally unacceptable. There is a special place in the hereafter for the "engineer" who mastered this piece of crap. Here's a thought: Forget the fancy menu and the so called "extras" and try giving the customer a clean recording of the program.Movie Review: Movie is GREAT! - the DVD is horrible!

All I can say is that it is too bad this is how this excellent movie is treated. I highly recommend the movie and have been waiting a long time for it to be released as a DVD. However, the other reviewer is correct, they did a terrible job of recording this movie onto DVD. The quality is worse than a bad reception TV broadcast and scenes have been cut out! The quality of this DVD is as if someone recorded it on VHS from TV and then copied it onto DVDs in their garage! It is truly lousy work. Again, the movie is excellent and if it were to come out in a DVD format made from the original movie reels, with widescreen as an option, I would still buy a copy. Don't waste your money on this one. The VHS might be better, but you'd get just as much satisfaction if you recorded it off of TV!Movie Review: Record this movie off of TV. It will be better.

I like the movie and was hoping the DVD would be a good purchase. Unfortunately the DVD is the worst quality DVD I have ever seen. It's not even DVD quality. Regular TV broadcasts coming through my DirecTV signal are much sharper than this low quality piece of junk. The picture quality is very dark. I have seen this movie on TV and the darkness of the picture is very noticable. Even worse is that the makers of the DVD cut out complete scenes of the movie! The one star rating is not for the movie itself, but for the extremely bad job done to make this DVD. It sucks! Don't buy it! Record the movie off of TV and then have someone record it onto a DVD for you. It will be much better
