A Great War Epic, with plenty of substance

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2005)

The opening sequence, is without doubt.
1/ The most Harrowing and Horrific depiction of War that i have ever seen.
2/ The Best Movie Sequence to test out your surround sound system that i've ever encountered.
After learning that 3 out 4 of Mrs. Ryans Sons have all died in combat during various missions in World War II, It is decided that her last remaining son will not be allowed to die in battle, and a small group of soldiers is assembled to get Private Ryan out.
Spielberg has undoubtedly captured the feel and the gloom of War, and has certainly avoided unnecessary Dramatisation. With a Top Class Cast, a Great Director and a Powerful Story, Saving Private Ryan is probably one of the finest movies ever made.
10/10
