Customer Ratings & Reviews

I still haven't yet had a chance to watch the movie but it arrived today with a broken case on the bottom I know that it wasn't broken in shipping because none of the pieces from the bottom of the case we're in any of the containers or packaging that this single product came in. I may be a fossil, however I still keep all my cases but considering the price of this item I'm sure it'll be a pain to do anything about it as long as the movie works I guess I'll have to forget about it. See pictures. I don't live anywhere near Best Buy but if I did I would try to walk in and ask them for a case.

My Dad was on the Doyle when it was called to rescue the Indiannapolis survivors and, while familiar with the historical version of what happened, the movie drives home the anguish and the suffering of the survivors. And, if you paid attention to Jaws, you had an inclining of what happened when you listen to Quint tell the tale. But, I though the production values could have been better and they probably should have spent a little more adding to the cast so that you could be presented with the hundreds of sailors left in the water after the sinking. Without the additional extras, you couldn't grasp the enormity of how many were lost. Also, I'm not sure Nick Cage was the best choice to play the captain, but he did an adequate job. Despite some of those production shortcomings, it's a worthwhile film to view to drive home the sacrifices and the trauma of World War II.

Good reference to Jaws. The Indianapolis delivered the Atomic bombs. Because of the secrecy of the mission it did not receive an escort going or returning. Story of survival on the return trip when a Japanese sub sinks the ship.

A good movie for Nicholas Cage. He always plays a great part

We had not seen this movie when it was at the theaters. We wanted to see how they showed this true story especially with Nicolas Cage.

This movie was well over due. I enjoy watching movies that touch on history.

I learned more about what happened to the Indianapolis.

This movie makes you pay attention to the concept of

I am disappointed that you keep downsizing the DVD department. Some people, mostly around my age, would like to have DVD's instead of a "digital" copy of a movie. I don't want to watch movies on my phone or my computer. That is why I purchased a big screen tv with surround sound! Please do not do away with this department. There are really no other stores that have a good selection that you can walk in and look at to purchase.

This docudrama stars Nicholas Cage as the Captain of the USS Indianapolis, the ship which delivered the components of the atomic bomb to Tinian Island. Obviously, certain factual details suffer at the hands of script writers, but the basic premise of the horror endured by the survivors of the torpedoed ship as it returned to duty following delivery are here.

Very interesting movie about a true US Navy ship that brought one of the atomic bombs from America to a forward area to be used against Japan. Ship was suppose to get escort and was not provided any. Ship was sunk and hundreds died before rescue. What can go wrong did. Only ship during WWII that Captain was held accountable!

I loved this movie, actually it was very sad, but based on a true story. My husband and I both cried, and that never happens! But the problem with the dvd was that every so often it would go blank. I tried to reorder it, but no more copies were in stock. So I figure it was just an old copy.

The chief complaints I read about this film, is it wasn't "action packed" or "a feel good war story". Being a Marine and a history fan... war is NOT "feel good". Now, ever since I saw JAWS, I was captivated by Robert Shaw giving his speech about the Indianapolis... and how the sharks took half the crew. This film takes the account from JAWS and puts it on full display. The Indianapolis is a story about survival and what the cost of war is. Fully recommend to any war/historical fans. If you're looking to be entertained... this film is NOT for you.

It is too bad this movie didn't make it to local theaters. The Indianapolis delivered THE most important "package" to end WWII, and for their courage and a few FUBARS, lost many lives, along with their ship, in a particularly gruesome way. This story is based on true events of the day.

Movie with Nicolas Cage about the true story of a secret mission with the Navy near the end of WWII between U.S. and Japan. It is a solid movie with war scenes and the true events of the navy ship that delivered the first 2 atomic bombs that were used to end the war with Japan.

It is a good movie. It is far from my favorite but a decent watch. I think it is a story that needs to be told as not too many people know about it. That said I am sure it could have been done better.

nicholas cage as captain of the U.S.S Indianapolis is one of the best war movies i have ever watched i have seen most of them the bravery of these navy sailers in the face of horrible tragedy is a credit to the navy & all the armed forces of the U.S But what happened to the captain afterwards in washington disturbed me greatly he was a true hero and president clinton exonerating him in 1998 was the least they should have done i would have given him and many of his crew the congressional medal of honor

I think it shows what our fighting men had to the ordeal and survive in terrible situations and show how the actions of others can make outcomes get so bad. A must see for those that haven't known about the ship loss in the future and how the ship help end the war

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this historical movie. Acting by Nicolas Cage was noteworthy and spot on. This movie is filled with action, suspense and drama. The historical value of this movie is immense. I own this movie and highly recommend it.

I waited a long time for this one to come out. After hearing captain quints story during the movie jaws. I found this to be a great war story. Don't forget what they delivered prior to the sinking. WOW! IT'S A GOOD WATCH 4 SURE. 4 STARS
