Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this movie when it was released on DVD a few years ago.Now that I've joined the HD DVD revolution, this was one of the discs I wanted to get to compare to the standard offering.
The sound options are a little better with DTS 6.1es and Dolby 5.1ex on offer compared to the DVD version.Whilst none of the new digital codecs are here,sound overall is good and the battle scenes will not disappoint if heard through a half decent amplifier.Effects are well rendered with a good sense of "spaciousness" and steering of sound across channels is nicely executed.
The picture is much better than DVD,and whilst not perhaps the best HD disc ever made it is a noticeable and significant step up from plain standard definition.Colours are rich and strong and the detail on offer is superb. The contrast available is good also with the night scenes being particularly effective.In short a good viewing experience which will convince you that this HD idea was worth investing in.
I'll not comment on the movie itself too much other than to say the battle scenes (the reason I bought it)are really well done.
Well worth a purchase.
Movie Review: The futility of war
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie drives it home very strongly how futile and painful war is. Hundreds of men sent to their deaths for no good reason, maybe that would have been a better name for this movie, "For No Good Reason".
A very moving war story shown partly from both sides about the tragedy and suffering involved when 2 armies decide to take each other on, no holds barred, in a full frontal assault.
Mel Gibson is true to form, a powerful and strong epic from a master actor and producer, he has been involved in many great movies over the last 25 years,and deserves full credit for yet another commanding performance, despite a few fopar's off screen, he really is a legend of the modern movie era.
