Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great movie with a stellar cast. One of the best war movies made, with a strong message to bring home the lives of soldiers. A must for any collection!

Came bundled with DVD player. This is a great title to show off your new 4K tv and DVD player. Surround sound in the beach landing scene is amazing.

One of the most important and amazing films of all time now in the highest standard of video and audio. Sounds so good coming out of my surround sound that when people come over I feel obligated to demonstrate it for them.

The greatest military movie ever!! It surpassed platoon, Hacksaw ridge and all the others! Hanks is phenomenal in this understated performance

My son and I are WWII buffs. After visiting Germany, France, St Lo, Normandy Nancy earlier this year so I thought what a great way to re-live that experience.... Not disappointed at all... Watching in 4K as compared to HD is a world apart. The depth and and color are incredible. Almost like being there live. If you have a 4k UHD and like WW II, this is a no brainer.

Tom Hanks is excellent in this film. The story moves along but not super fast. It does get graphic but that is expected of a war movie.

This version of the movie is great. I like that it is full screen and not wide with bars at the top and bottom. You get the full experience

The movie looks amazing and the sound is terrific.

First off, this is a fantastic movie. Hands down. I own the original DVD, blu-ray and now the 4k version. Unfortunately the 4k version is not much different from the blu-ray. Yes, it's definitely more crisp. And the sound is phenomenal. But they're still many scenes where there is a white glow and firery glow trail from fire's. The original DVD did not have this issue. Only the blu-ray and 4k disc have this problem. Also, there's a lot of grain in the 4k transfer. I understand it's an older movie and it was shot on film. But if you watch Leon (The professional) in 4k version. Which is a few year's older than Saving Private Ryan. You'll notice it's a lot cleaner with almost no grain. Personally I wouldn't buy the 4k version if you already have the blu-ray version. On the other hand, if you have a killer sound system like I do. I would definitely buy the 4k version. I give this 3 star's only because of the sound quality. The Dolby Atoms will blow you away.

Excellent war story and focus on family. The 4k picture quality makes all the action seem live and real. Excellent collector's item

More than likely anybody browsing for this is simply upgrading from an old DVD, so those folks probably need no coaxing to buy this. For everyone else, this is movie that is among the best of any war film produced. It's gritty and holds no punches about the fact that, yes, war is the exact opposite of heaven (and really, Best Buy, you're going to make me censor a review for an R-rated movie?). It's about a bunch of average joes stuck in a situation that nobody would ever want to be in, and doesn't glorify anything in the process. The only reason I give this four stars instead of five is due to this not being a movie one watches very often. It can get pretty rough, but it's definitely something that everybody should watch at some point in their lives to see what many of our ancestors went through.

I have the original blu ray version and bought the new 4K Ultra HD since this war movie is GOAT. It is definitely a worthy upgrade especially if you have 4K HDR TV and a really good audio system. If not, then get the blu-ray because honestly you can't really beat perfection. The opening Omaha beach landing scene is epic in either the blu ray or 4K Ultra HD version.

This is a true masterpiece from Spielberg, showing the horrors of war during D-Day in very realistic and graphic details. A testament to all the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives to free Europe from fascism, sadly reappearing today in the US and also parts of Europe.

No doubt about it, one of my top 2 favorite war movies of all time, right next to Bridge On The River Kwai. Got rid of the DVD years ago with the intent to replace it with BluRay, and finally did, making great even better. If I had seen/found it on 4K, would have still been a no-brainer. No fan of film, war movies or otherwise, should leave this out of their collection.

A fantastic 1080p transfer and exceptional lossless soundtrack. The transfer is just as good as the movie, as these Sapphire series blu-rays have shown with Gladiator and Braveheart. Strong but somewhat underwhelming-in-quantity collection of extras but that doesn't stop this from being a must own for film fans. I'm no authority on films and home video but this one is fantastic.

I have always loved this movie and the 4K makes it even better. You can't go wrong with this version. Video and sound are awesome!

The sound design alone makes the dolby atmos bring you right under the tanks. Watched it on D-day then watched it again in 4k

I watched the original movie in DVD quality many years ago, and watched in 4k quality, and you would not believe the difference

I have this in about 3 other formats, had to have it in 4K to match the TV and Blue-ray player that I recently purchased.

Saving Private Ryan was great in blue ray but amazing in 4K and would recommend Best Buy as the store to get great 4K movies
