Patton [Blu-ray]

My tape of Patton finally couldn't cut it anymore. It just wore out. I bought the DVD and the picture on my new high def TV was great. I've seen the movie dozens of times and this is the best since the original on the movie screen. The companion DVD reviewing the original shooting of the film is great also. This is a very good package.

Sure it may be a long movie, but it is one movie that will remain a favorite forever. The intricate details of Patton's (portrayed by George C Scott) career are incredible to learn about, since Patton was one of our most heroic (and interesting) generals from World War II. Furthermore, with the movie in Blu-Ray high definition, you couldn't ask for a more realistic viewing experience.

Patton is one of the real good stories about World War II. It is really pretty accurate from everything I have read on the subject.

I purchased this one because i saw it on tv last year. to add to my library collection.

thank you.

I have just seen this film in the Blu-ray format and it is superb!! A previous reviewer complained about the lack of grain in the film but that's what made the transfer so great!! Also there is a brief introduction by Francis Ford Coppola before the film starts and it is very insightful about his experiences in gathering information for this classic film. The transfer, as I stated before, is excellent and duplicates the experience of having seen it in the 70mm format (2:20) in the theatre. Although the film borders very close to 3 hours, this is one of those films that you wish could last a little bit longer (Scott was dissatisfied with the film and refused the Oscar,later did a TV film version of Patton's last days). So if you're already a fan of this classic, I do recommend getting this in Blu-ray --I will very shortly!!
