Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not my favorite war movie from the 80's. It is a good movie though. The quality for the video and audio is exceptional for this Blu Ray.

Saw this movie when it came out at the theaters in 1987. Still love it after all these years and has become a classic. Gripping, devastating and quite emotional film from Oliver Stone based on his own experiences in the war. Collectible steelbook packaging is a plus!

Oliver Stone's "Platoon" is one of the best and most powerful of all war pictures. It is the best movie ever made about the Vietnam war. Stone's film is gritty, frighteningly realistic and incredibly powerful. Stone doesn't just show us the Vietnam war, he takes into the Vietnam war. The screenplay is brilliant and doesn't fall into the trap that other war films fall into, where the violence turns into a fun experience and fighting seems "cool." This is a movie that truly shows the horrors of war realistically and with great effect. The cinematography by Robert Richardson (JFK, Natural Born Killers) is rich and gritty, giving more feeling to already great material. The characters are believable and convincing. It's great work because Stone himself went to Vietnam, so he has a better idea of what happened than Francis Ford Coppola when he made "Apocalypse Now" (which is also a great movie). "Platoon" is mesmerizing, powerful, effective, disturbing and even philosophical. It is one of Stone's greatest works. He ignites the screen with passion. The music is incredibly moving. No other director has made better films about Vietnam than Stone, who's "Born On The Fourth Of July" and "Heaven And Earth" followed "Platoon," and opened our eyes to greater clarity. I was never less than spellbound by this work. "Platoon" vibrates with realism and energy. A very special motion picture

One of my top 3 favorite war movies. Fantastic job at creating a very realistic film. They a fantastic job at portraying what our vet’s truly went through during that merciless horrific war we should of never been involved with.

Nice alternative artwork for the classic Vietnam war film, Platoon. Standard blu ray looks great on my OLED. No complaints here!

Definitely a strong movie with a powerful cast and storyline to boot. Worth seeing if you’re into action movies or war movies as well.

Classic movie remastered in 4K and it shows! The steel book adds to this edition looks great picture and steel book. Not disappointed

This is one of the best war movies I've ever seen. Loved it growing up, so I had to buy it for my family to watch too.

Seen movie awhile back. Just had to add it to my collection. Came with a extra case, which is awesome. Thanks Best Buy.

Platoon is one of the all-time great war films and I love the design of the steelbook packaging for this release.

This video, which I originally saw on the big screen many years ago, should be viewed by anyone who would really like to comprehend how war can shock the system to its core ... how PTSD is created and how why it is so devastating to our being. The psychological profession calls PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder, but I think that it should more aptly be called "post traumatic shock syndrome" because it is in reality created by a shock to the heart, which causes a lasting image by our judgment of what happened at the time by the incident that occurred. This video, Platoon, apply portrays how and why so many of our brave men and women came home with such devastating memories of the war. And it is still happening today in Afghanistan. We need to have understanding and compassion, and this video should help us to see why these things happen.

As always this is a great movie. The collector case was also a nice touch. I had to buy it when I saw it.

This bluray has made this movie look updated with HD picture and sound and is now lifelike

The video shows great detail and the cool tones set the mood. A great redo of a classic.

There's a reason this movie won an Oscar for Best Picture. In Blu-ray, it's even better!

Loved the art and the movie. I’m glad they released a steelbook of it! Keep them coming!

Great looking artwork on the steelbook and this movie should be a must watch for anybody.

This one of my all time favorite movies so you can't go wrong with a special edition.

I enjoyed watching this movie. Great acting. Good way to spend your evening.

One of my favorite movies and often seen, and the Steel Book version is awesome.
