    I bought this because I’m a big fan of westerns. And it doesn’t disappoint with excellent acting by Tom Hanks... and Helena Zengel .. plus some historical perspective as it is set five years after the Civil War in Texas. Good character development, a good plot with some action along the way and an excellent American period piece. If you’re a western movie fan this belongs in your collection.

    Picture transferred from 4K source is natural and beautiful. Dialog driven but nice Atmos atmospherics throughout - audio not demo worthy but fits the movie. Great story, acting, and from a genre sadly lacking these days.

    Really good western

    This was a really good western in a time when Hollywood rarely makes westerns. Tom Hanks did a superior job in the lead role as the reader of the news in frontier Texas in the late 1800’s and kept the viewer interested in the story line throughout the movie. All the characters were well portrayed. I would recommend this movie.

    A look at the hard, dirty life of the late 1800s after the end of the Civil War. This is a heart rending tale of a young girl who is twice orphaned and only oafish men want to take advantage of her or steal her away from Tom Hanks. I can't give you the sense of all the feelings and questions that are in this movie but I will tell you it is a Must See movie. I loved it.

    Tom Hanks as usual is in excellent form in this character. The girl Helena Zengel is wonderful to watch. Both hold your attention throughout the film. Not going to spoil giving away what happens in the film it is to be really experienced by anyone who watches this movie

    I've never watched a bad Tom Hanks movie. Really enjoyed this one. Lots of extra features about the making of it in addition to the movie. Wasted a trip to my local Best Buy, website showed it in stock but when I went there they couldn't locate it. Ended up buying it online and then waiting several days to get it.

    Tom Hanks delivers another great performance in this throwback western style movie. It reminds me of the old westerns but with much more beautiful scenery in the background. Definitely a must buy for lovers of the western genre. This movie will not disappoint fan's of movies with a great story.

    We bought an HP all in one, 24 inch. Jorge was very helpful in helping us select a system that matched our needs. He is well informed, and courteous. The PC was easy to set up, worked well as far as can be determined in a few hours.

    A very well written comentary on the era just following the Civil War. The acting was supurbe and the story line was well crafted to carry the message that Love and respect is always more powerful than hate and discrimination. This is a must see. I enjoyed every minute of the film.

    One of best westerns I've seen in year's. Real strong story as well as a great new and very young actress, but mature beyond her years. Excellent performance by Tom Hanks as always!

    Great Western. Not your typical western, but I liked that it was different. It was a " thinking man's western, I guess you could say. I'm very glad this received 4K treatment. It was beautiful on my tv. If you like tom hanks, or westerns, or both, give this one a shot.

    A good news worthy movie. This is one of the better western I have seen in a long time. A well written and a marvelous screenplay. Tom Hanks as always a consummate actor. And his young co-star an upcoming actress to watch. It is a must see movie to watch and purchase.

    Where is HDR 10+ ?

    The only issue I have with the disc is that it is supposed to be HDR 10+. The settings on my tv, however, don’t show this. Though, I did not have this problem with ‘The Shining’ (1980). (I have a Samsung 4K UHD tv and Panasonic player.) Regardless, 4K still looks great and story has some entertainment value.

    The acting by Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel are the main draws here as well as some beautiful scenery. The story is set in Texas during Reconstruction after the Civil War with Hanks character agreeing to deliver a young girl, Johanna, to her family after she is orphaned. Picture and sound quality are incredible.

    Tom Hanks does his normal excellent acting. Helena Zengel as the young girl does an excellent performance. There is a reason that she has nominated for several awards in her young career.
