Best Kubrick movie, best war movie

ByBenjaminVINE VOICEon November 26, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

My Kubrick's favorite movie, and arguably, one of the best war movies of all time. I watched this movie at least 10 times, when I was an adolescent first, and then as an adult man. It always moves me to the unspeakable, and I've grown up very fond of it, its story, and most of all, its characters. This is easily among my top 20 favorite movies of all time. The bluray version looks absolutely great, the best possible, at least in my 65 inch screen!

Purchase if remastered....

ByBrns viewon July 12, 2017

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This Blu-ray disc is not much of an improvement over the previous Blu-ray release, the disc I purchased has damage and does a not play all the a way through to the end, I found a this out to late to rmake a return, it is better than the first Blu-ray edition, wait for a remastered edition of the film to be released,

substantial improvement in the remastering and a superb version on disk

ByJames Q. Smithon February 8, 2014

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This is more about the BD quality than the movie itself. This version is substantially better than the bluray 2006 release, which didn't look much more than an upconverted DVD.

The sound quality is superior to DVD, in clarity and dynamic range. You can switch to PCM audio to further improve the sound's dynamic range even more. The transfer has much more vibrant colors and the images are sharper and finely detailed, making the BD purchase more worthwhile over the DVD.

Great Kubrick film and a little improved image quality from previous blu-ray. But top and bottom of screen are still cropped as to compare to full screen version.

A scathing and darkly humorous take on the Vietnam conflict...

ByJD Salingeron January 10, 2013

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

I have read that Kubrick started working on this project well before "Platoon", as a master craftsman he took years to get where he wanted before filming began. This film, unlike the other films about Vietnam starts with recruits in Parris Island, being molded into the perfect Marines. I found this film spartan and cold (that can be said of any Kubrick film, except Spartacus), and yet darkly humorous, (particularly R Lee Ermey's Drill Instructor whipping the recruits into fighting shape.) Kubrick to me brought more of a detached view to war than any other director out there. (See "Paths of Glory" an indictment of French leadership in the 1st World War)

The transfer was excellent, the sound and picture as I remember seeing them on the big screen. 5 Stars.

We're not racist... your all perfectly worthless ... lol

I had to get my wife to watch it to see what I was always referring to when I joke sometimes! Absolute classic that defines countless characters due to the master Sargent Gunnie, he rocked it!
"This is a classic and still hard to watch. I honestly know the first half by heart... and prob only gave the second half two looks in the past. A must see for any real military film addict!
