This film moved me more than any other film within the past few years. I must admit, I was crying like a baby when it ended. :frowning:
The battle scenes were unrelenting and exhausting (I mean that in a good way as it is getting it's point across as to the effects of war.)I am in total agreement with you. Not only was the affect of the action scenes felt emotionally but I was simply blown away by them. No pun intended. This is simply a tour de force dvd for your home theater. Visually the battle scenes were amazing, you could see bullets flying through the air, napalm explosions, the works. And the audio is as good as it gets. The 5.1 EX sound was giving my speakers a serious workout. I have a 7.1 setup and I felt like ducking. I had bullets, choppers an fighter jets flying through my living room. There is also some very low frequency for extended amounts of time in this film. When the soldiers fired their rifles, you could feel the rounds hitting you in the cest and the mortar rounds and big artillery shells had my house shaking, one of my pillows fell off my couch. This soundtrack gave my dual sub setup quite the workout. I have been waiting for a movie that rivaled SPR in the audio department and this is it! I think it is a tie for first place. I do have one complaint though and with a brand new movie like this, there is NO excuse. The video was sub standard for a new release. Not sharp and clear like most today. I did notice alot of grain in the picture. I just don't understand why they didn't take the time to do a better transfer with a great movie like this.
