Patton (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, 2-Disc Set)

This is one of my favorites. Unfortunately my Samsung blu ray player will not play it. DON'T BUY A SAMSUNG BLU RAY PLAYER. VERY POOR CODEC SUPPORT AND DOESN'T PLAY 95% OF THE DISCS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

I have spent over thirty years watching "Patton". I first saw the film in 1970 in a large theater projected on a 100 foot screen, and the Dimension 150 process ( a 70mm film process)was stunning. This is both a great war and anti-war film, and George C. Scott's performance was mesmerizing. I had to own a personal copy. First came VHS. Still the great film, but the lack of resolution was like a haze. Then came DVD, now greatly improved in picture and sound quality. Finally, there is Blu-ray. In the opening sequence, you can see every bit of detail in the uniform, the engraved ivory-handled pistols, the medals; bringing back the intensity of the film, along with great sound, finally doing this film justice. Only thing missing is the giant screen. This is a classic film, worthy of being the cornerstone of a Blu ray collection!

I loved this Movie so much, I went out and bought a Huge Patton Poster to hang in my office. George C Scott gives and incredible performance.

Close to the actual story of Gen. Patton. If you want to get exposed to some history and a good war story then this is the one to get. Get it on blu-ray as the picture and audio quality is unmatched. I would recommend this product to anyone.

The blu-ray version of Patton provides better resolution for the sweeping landscapes which have made this epic film particularly impressive. The surround sound is also very good, adding tremendously to the realism of this story. I recommend the blu-ray version highly for fans of Patton.
