Glory in 4k is eternalGl
Glory is possibly the greatest movie of all time. Every time you see this movie. Its like seeing it for the first time. This true 4k disc is superior to the 4k masterd version which came out a few years ago. Both smoke the 2009 bluray. Of course there is some natural film grain. Never has a music soundtrack matched a movie in a union of perfection!
I finally got around to seeing this. I enjoyed it, and thought it was really good. Picture quality was fantastic. Some scenes showed their age, but overall the transfer was well done.
Glory is a phenomenally well done historical drama about the first unit of black Northern soldiers who fought in battle against Southern white troops during the American Civil war. The story and the the narration in the film are based upon the treasure trove of actual letters sent home to his mother by Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of this very first black combat unit. Everything from the excellent script to the superlative directing by Edward Zwick shine brightly in this movie. Numerous actors received academy award nominations--and deservedly so. If you are a history buff, or just a fan of extremely good films, this movie comes most highly recommended. The 4K Ultra High Definition bluray looks good, but ,unfortunately, films from this era exhibit a fair amount of film grain and this movie is no exception. The presentation otherwise looks good and the sound (including an exceptional music score) comes through magnificently. One critic called Glory "One of the best historical dramas ever filmed", and I can't dispute him on that. This is a beautifully made movie and a truly moving cinematic experience. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it.
