Great movie but disc was just dangling inside the box

Immensely powerful, melancholy and fit for one viewing [repeated viewings just dull the senses and remove the impact]. Tremendous tech credits - especially the sound design and the editing of the first 20 minutes ......
Storyline? "Bring Him Back Alive" - standard fare for the adventurer, but just one of so many deeds - unspoken - during WW11.
Better fare? Care Foreman's "THE VICTORS" [WW2 - from all sides] also Claude Le Louche "Marriage" [1974], "The Bridge", and even "The Longest Day" ~ but not forgetting the indelible "The Young Lions".

good price. quality no so much. Prime is not as good as Netflix in terms of quality in my opinion.

I just love this movie but I was disappointed with the quality of this Blu-ray version.
Not really much better than the DVD version. On 2nd thought, probably should have
rated it with two stars and would not have bought this in Blu-ray if I had known about
the DVD quality. Would have saved some bucks and just buy the cheaper DVD copy.

I loved this movie, however, the DVD failed to produce DTS digital sound, all I got was regular surround. Also, colors were washed out in several of the brighter scenes. I wonder if the publishers delay was because of poor quality they ended up deciding not to fix?

Got the urge to watch this again after many years and confirmed that it's an okay flick. Nothing deserving the attention that it got, shaky cameras or not. The plot is a bit thin, and the story has less to do with saving private Ryan and more to do with a few occurrences of a small band of soldiers. I tend to really like Tom Hanks, too.

Movie was great but the quality was poor when streaming to my Apple tv through Airplay mirroring. Probably has more to do with Apple's airplay mirroring functionality. There was also a few occasions where the silverlight plugin crashed on my chrome browser. Again this probably is a chrome specific issue, prime would most likely work best on the IE browser.

In short, the movie is great (it always has been), and there are plenty of extras to keep one entertained for quite some time. But the quality of the "Blu-Ray" edition is underwhelming: it looked very much like a better-than average DVD, not Blu-Ray. I was expecting the sharp, crisp lines that I have come to expect from a Blu-Ray product. Alas, I was disappointed with this iteration of Saving Private Ryan for this reason alone. Since I am unaware of whether or not there will be future updates to this picture, I was forced to award it only 3 stars.
