Wow, hard to believe Saving Private Ryan is 14 yrs old...

[KDOG]

Just got done watching it for the umpteenth time. The ending still just kills me. Great movie.

Whats this about 14 year olds?

14 year old... Ryan's.... privates....

 

[herkulease]

I can't believe Spielberg still has put this out on bluray. Hell even Jurassic Park isn't even out yet.

 

[NesuD]

Um How about 12 yrs old? It came out in 1998.

 

[Gothgar]

yeah, great movie... probably be pretty timeless I would imagine too

At least Band of Brothers in on Blu-ray. Extremely worthwhile, especially when on sale.

But dammit I so agree, I want SPR and JP on Blu-ray meow!

It's hard to believe this movie.....well, was ever made:

Saving Ryan's Privates (1998)

During World War II, somewhere in France, Private James Ryan has lost his genitalia in battle--they're missing in action and, that day, his wife Lisa is due to receive three telegrams. An officer sends a platoon, and the platoon leader tells his men, "If that boy and his penis are alive, we're going to find them." When they do find Ryan, he's doesn't want to leave his fellow soldiers, but the platoon leader explains the mission firmly. Private Ryan relents, they shoot their way out, and there's a casualty. Jump ahead 50 years: a grey-haired man kneels at a gravestone as a young man waits beside him. Did someone die in vain, or did Ryan put it to good use?

First movie I ever watched on DVD, after fighting for 8 hours with a POS Creative Labs decoder card and drive.

Oh man, I remember decoder cards.
They were so awesome.

 

[Locut0s]

A good film but IMHO not the masterpiece people seem to think it is. Fantastic beginning, good ending but a mediocre and muddled middle act from what I remembver (been a long time since I saw it). And a bit too sentimental at times which is a problem with just about ALL Spielberg films.

 

[Locut0s]

Awesome isn't the word that comes first to mind.

Once you got them working they performed O.K. but they were mostly a pain in the ass. Besides everyone knew they were a stop gap measure until CPUs inevitably became powerful enough to do all the decoding in software.

 

[HannibalX]

How many of those years has Tom Sizemore spent in prison? :awe:

 

[ku]

Awesome movie. One of my favorite movies.
I've seen Band of Brothers twice in 2010 alone in anticipation of The Pacific. 3/14!!!

LMAO! Guess imdb has a good sense of humor. That is hilarious.

And think the reason Jurassic park and this movie are not on bluray is because they came out before bluray even existed, so they were not even recorded in high enough quality to make it worthwhile. Doubt they even had HD cameras back then. You can only remaster to some extent, without CSI technology.

 

[El Guaraguao]

I stood up and applauded when the nazi shot Vin Diesel.
I started throwing chairs and breaking shit when Upham (punk bitch) let his Jew buddy get killed, while he wept on the stair case.
The "momma" scene ALMOST had me shed a tear...I was a kid when it came, what do you expect? :awe:

That is all.

You do realize that film negatives capture a HUGE amount of detail in them don't you? More than most digital recording technologies nowadays capture. All that's required to digitize them is to scan them in at a high enough resolution.

Even 35mm still negatives outdo most multi-megapixel cameras on the market in terms of the amount of detail captured.

Even with the cameras they used way back in the day? I figured they would be equivalent to VHS, considering, that's where the final edit was going. Guess they planned well for the future then. Had no idea they even used negatives, thought they just recorded straight to VHS back then. (now, to SD or w/e)

You think people went to a movie theater and watched the equivalent of a VHS tape on a huge screen in the theater?

Back when it was the only thing, it was good quality, so figured that's all it was. They did have those been reels though but I did not figure those were such high res. I've never worked in the industry.
