Frighteningly Realistic

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 1998)

Saving Private Ryan is one of the most frighteningly realistic movies I have ever seen. The sound effects are awesome, you almost feel as if you are there with bullets zipping around you. The visual fx are excellent and more importantly realistic and believable. I have only two problems with SPR; 1. It seemed as though the only people in Normandy were the Germans and the Americans. What about the British, Canadians, and all the others that fought? 2. The jeeps and troops which all of a sudden appear when the P-51's arrived. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Congratulations to Spielberg. This film deserves at least the following Oscars: Best Picture, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Score. And a swag of others which I can't remember.
