Customer Ratings & Reviews

This isn't a review of the film, but if it were it would be 5 stars as well. This is a review of the differences of the 4K release. Image is noticeably sharper, colors are crisper, brighter and everything is more detailed. Just as you would hope and expect. For me I always like paying attention during low light scenes to see the benefits of HDR aside from the obvious bright and vivid colors. Everything in this film looked amazing.

It has a grainy look but looks better than the bluray. The Dolby atoms is top notch too!

I originally purchased this title back on DVD and intentionally searched for/purchased the DTS version of the movie over the Dolby Digital just for the sound. I didn't bother with it on Blu-ray only because the audio was so good on the original DVD encoded in DTS. Well, that's the past...this 4K version has both Dolby ATMOS and DTS:X so select your favorite option and have at it. As much of a fan as I was of DTS back in the day, Dolby ATMOS blows away DTS:X in my 5.1.2 audio set up (dedicated height/ceiling speakers in the configuration). This movie won an Academy Award in 1999 for Best Sound Effects Editing and it's absolutely validated here. The picture quality is fantastic and I'm in the camp that likes the grainy film like textures. Remember this won additional awards for Effects and Cinematography and is genuinely enjoyable still some 19 years after it was released. I recommend owning this movie in this format.

This movie looks awesome as a blu ray. It makes the movie seem even more real.

The first war movie that truly created the true horrors of battle. The first 30 minutes of recreating the D-Day landing at Omaha Beach was incredibly real. The last 30 minutes of the movie was a complete adrenaline rush that had be shaking. I felt like I need to be debriefed after watching this movie. If your not moved by the ending of this movie, then you need your pulse checked.

Remastered in Dolby atmos. Sound is incredible! A must watch and listen.

Of the 25 4K Blurays I own, Saving Private Ryan is hands down the best of the lot. The 4k Scan of the 35mm film yields incredible sharpness and vibrant colors and the remastered Dolby Audio mix makes you duck for cover as rounds fly over your head. Regardless of how many copies of this you own - VHS, DVD, Bluray… this is a must add to your collection!

Loved this in 4k Dolby Atmos . Sounds like you were there.

Amazing picture in hdr and atmos sound, love this movie.

Even though I've just bought this at best buy not long ago on steelbook blue ray, I saw it was finally on 4k disc and re done audio from 5.1 DTS to Dolby Atmos, which if you have an AVR and 7.2 up to 11.2 ( 5.2.4 is typical) channel setup-- 5 main speakers,2 subwoofers, 4 Atmos/height speakers, you already know how amazing and with big powerful Klipsch subwoofers.. -bone shakingly- impressive 4k movies sound and look. In the end when I want to show a friend my Atmos system, I've finally found a 4k movie that can show off it's capabilities even more so than mad Max.. 5 stars .. worth 22 dollars for 4k just to hear this movie..

With the 75th anniversary of D-Day, revisiting this movie was essential viewing. 21 years after the release, this movie still holds up and is a fantastic glimpse into the sacrifice so many heroes gave in the name of freedom. The picture quality on this 4K is amazing, and I doubt the movie has ever looked better than it does here.

While this is still one of the best WWII movies, it's not a movie a tend to watch often due to the nature of the movie. With that out of the way, hows the audio & video in 4K? I surprisingly didn't notice any film grain that stood out while watching it. I'd say the transfer is likely top notch. The HDR impact was minimal, but likely as it should with the type of movie this is. Everything seemed to be really detailed overall. The Atmos track seemed decent but nothing crazy for me. Most youtube reviewers have this in their top 10 for 2018; I don't think it would be in my list though. The only significant base was in the final act with the tanks. It was very impactful in these scenes, but I was expecting a little more throughout the movie.

There is a to real gun battle @ the beginning of this film which was a real event that really happened, it may be to graphic for young children. Over all this is a good movie with good sound & the film was nicely done we have it on blu-ray there is also 4k version over all I find the blu-ray to be very good.

I've purchased this movie from format to format and will continue to do so. Still my favorite war movie of all time. The folks over 60 might say many of the older epic movies may be better in their opinions but the dirtyness and realism of the movies made in the 60s and before were just not real enough. The makeup, effects, and sets just cant hold a candle to Saving Private Ryan. I remember people walking out and crying because of the realism of this while watching it 2 times in the theaters upon release.

After this first came out I got the regular dvd and later upgraded it to a blu-ray. Now that it is in 4k I upgraded again as it is one of my favorite war movies. If you like the original ,you'll love this in 4k,especially if you have a home theater system. Great movie.

Fantastic film that has never looked or sounded better!

One of my favorite movies. I have seen it multiple times but watching it again in 4k was great. This is not a sharp picture 4k like other movies but that gives it the quality for the timeline this story would have taken place in. A little grainy but sharp. The sound is amazing.

Very intense and emotional film. Sound boom and is a great lookin transfer. Great pick up.

The 4K video and sound on this Ultra HD DVD is a must-have for all movie buffs. The D-Day scenes at the beginning is probably the best ever made on film. Tom Hanks is excellent, and I highly recommend "Saving Private Ryan" for your movie collection.

This 4K HD remaster does the movie so much justice. All you need is a huge TV and a killer sound system, finding yourself front seat to the D-day invasions of Normandy is something most will never forget. Great actors and worth a watch multiple times.
