Excellent movie
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is such a great and classic movie. It’s been a number of years since I saw it last, but this is the best it has ever looked. The picture quality looks fantastic in 4K. Very clean and detailed image especially in the first half. The second half of the movie has a little more grain, but still looks great. HDR brings new life to the scenes and makes this look like it was recently filmed. The SteelBook looks awesome as well.

Whole Movie is a War Classic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost everyone who has seen Full Metal Jacket loves the first half in basic training, with R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman destroying and building back up young men into vicious killers, and the consequential mental breakdown of Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence, played fantastically by Vincent D'Onofrio. Half of viewers then tune out in the second half, when the protagonist, Private "Joker", is deployed to Vietnam, as it's much slower and bleaker. While it is no "Apocalypse Now", the second half does a great job of showing the results of the Vietnam War on both Vietnam the country and the psyches of combatants on both sides. In 4K with HDR, the details of the sets and outdoor shots give the film an even better look than before. If you watched it before and only remember liking the first half, I suggest giving it another shot. If you've never seen it before, behind "The Shining" it makes for a pretty good intro movie into Stanley Kubrick's filmography.

Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war masterpiece
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're not familiar with Full Metal Jacket then I'd strongly encourage a watch. It's surprisingly not as brutal as other war films but that's not to say it isn't action packet because the second half certainly is. It's basically a story about humanity that shows how people in war are treated and dehumanized to become killing machines. Masterfully made with nice steelbook packaging courtesy of Best Buy. One note would be the paint on my disc was very fresh and made the top not smooth and when I received a replacement it had the same issue. This never happened to me with a 4K disc or BestBuy exclusive steelbook before so hopefully never happens again.

Full Metal Jacket: Never Gets Old!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I remember seeing the movie many years ago in the movie house and watching it a few times on cable. I decided to add it to my movie collection. Lee Ermey scares the daylights out of anyone who is contemplating joining the service as he was a DI during his military career. While the film, accurately, portrays the TET Offensive, and how the government media complex really operates at least during that time period, you are drawn in with a foreboding sense of doom as you see Pvt. Pyle descend into moral depravity . The character study of each Marine particularly Hartman/Pvt Joker/Pyle each profoundly effect each other's live and sadly Hartman is murdered and Pvt Pile commits suicide. Pvt Joker ends up battle hardened before he sets foot in Vietnam and becomes a "combat correspondent" however more the former than the later. The scenery and battle scenes are realistic and does not sugar coat anything. This DVD is a must for any serious collector of Kubrick films or Vietnam flicks.

A Marine Corps Classic
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was AMAZING! It teaches me a lot about what they were like in war. I am actually learning about it right now in school and this movie helped me get an A+ on my science paper! Thank you so much to everyone who made this movie it really helped me out in school and in life. It was a great plot twist when the "fat guy" was getting punished in really terrible ways and then killed there captain and then killed himself wow I thought he would just be happy that he learned how to move his gun but I was wrong....... I am not gonna spoil anymore so if you see this before the movie........................................... GO WATCH IT IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

Q: QuestionHow do I pre-ordered the steel book? It just reads coming soon, whereas the standard 4k version reads pre-order
Asked by Artemis.
- A:Answer I have been trying to pre order this since about September 3rd and it has said "Coming Soon" since then. I caught it a couple times where it said "Pre Order" and it let me add it to my cart but when I went to checkout it said the item was not available. Maybe they sold out all the pre orders. I think they can only sell a certain amount through pre order so they can give the people a chance to buy it in store, I may be wrong though. I'm assuming this because when it was first listed on their site you were able to buy/pre order it for a while, at least up until around September 3rd since that's when I ordered all this month's other pre order Steelbooks. I should have just bought it the second it went up for pre order but I'll just wait until release day, the 22nd, and order it super early in the morning in case it sells out. I know this has happened in the past with Steelbooks, they'll go up for pre order for a while then they just say coming soon until release day. Actually this just happened to me a month or two ago but I can't remember what movie it was. Just keep an eye on it and check back a few times a day and/or just wait until early morning on release day before Best Buy opens their stores and you should be able to order it then.
