Ok it's safe to say that most people have seen this awesome movie already but now that it's on blu-ray it's got perfect picture and sound...at first i was thinking that this version would have only the movie on it but i was wrong you see it's a 2 disk set that has everything and even the packaging is excellent as well giving you all kinds of extra info about the movie..i mean this would be a steal at twice the price...did you know that this movie was nominated for 13 academy awards! this is one of the best blu-ray i have bought in a while and i buy one or two every week so glad they made this version the way they did an excellent jod.
What's great about it: ahh lets see....everything!

I recommend this movie to everyone. You should watch it at least once in your lifetime, as this is the only movie of its kind. It's a special movie; Heart Warming, sad, funny, and happy all at once. It's a joy to watch Forrest go from his small town home, to playing football, then to Vietnam, to the creation of the smiley face and Apple, to his shrimp boat voyage, to the loss of his two true loves. If he was an ordinary man, he would not have made it through. This movie will rip at your heart, that is to say, if you have one.

First let me say that I'm not going to get worked-up over Tom Hanks' portrayal of a mentally handicap character. While Forrest was not the sharpest tool in the shed, his IQ was not more than two standards deviations below the mean. Besides, Mr. Hanks is an actor, and he was merely acting according to the way the author wrote the character, the way the director directed the character, and his own interpretation of both.
This is an exceptional movie--still my all-time favorite. I haven't actually watched it in a while, but when I do, I'm moved every time. How can one not be moved by a character so ingenuous, so resilient, and so good? How can one not be moved by such an incredible story, so skillfully directed? Bad things sometimes happen to good people. "It happens," as Forrest said. Someone once said that "life is ten percent what happens and 90 percent how I react to it." Never has this truth been so accurately portrayed as in this wonderful movie, "Forrest Gump."
"Is he smart, or is he. . . .?" That scene clinched the Oscar for Tom Hanks, and I still can't watch it without getting a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Tom Hanks is the best, most versatile actor of our time, and never has he been more brilliant than he was in this movie. No one with a pulse can watch this movie and not be moved by it--perhaps even changed. I could not recommend any movie more highly.

A 4.3 for a movie that was made in 1994 is definitely reasonable. Instantly I was able to tell that this movie is 4K from when little forest was walking to the school and his foot got caught in the gutter. There is a fair amount of grain throughout the movie, but there are definitely parts that Will make you smile and give appreciation for having 4K in your home! The amount of grain is comparable To the amount of grain in Saving Private Ryan, but it is never overwhelming and you will definitely be able to look past the grain for the appreciation of the 4K graphics. However, the 4K graphics in Saving Private Ryan are absolutely incredible and the sound is better as well.
If you can look past some grain you'll definitely be More than pleased purchasing Forrest Gump in 4K.
