Looking for another triumph, Buster Moon (voiced by Matthew McConaughey) reassembled his menagerie of musical discoveries to mount a new show in the entertainment capital of Redshore City. However, their backing will come through if-and only if-they can coax reclusive rock god Clay Calloway (Bono) out of a lengthy and self-imposed retirement. Anticipated family follow-up co-stars the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Nick Kroll, Tori Kelly. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Young Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) is a lonely 11-year-old boy who escapes from his bleak reality by glorying in the action adventure movies of his favorite film character, Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). When his best friend, Nick the projectionist, gives him a special ticket to the new Slater film, Danny is magically transported into Jack's world, where the good guys always win. Danny becomes his helper as Jack battles a trio of nefarious bad guys, Benedict (Charles Dance), Vivaldi (Anthony Quinn) and The Ripper (Tom Noonan). But things get out of hand when Benedict steals Danny's magic ticket stub and transports himself into the real world, where crime can, and often does, pay. Jack and Danny must leave fictional Los Angeles for real-life New York and battle the villains without the aid of movie magic or stuntmen.

Steven Spielberg's WWII epic has been hailed as a senses-shattering, realistic depiction of war, telling the emotional story of a no-nonsense U.S. Army captain (Tom Hanks), who, after facing the horrors of Omaha Beach on D-Day, receives orders to lead his troops on a search somewhere in Normandy for Private James Ryan, a lost paratrooper whose three brothers had been killed in combat. Also stars Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, and Matt Damon as Ryan. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Not much different from the blu-ray
By Jake from Triangle, VA
First off, this is a fantastic movie. Hands down. I own the original DVD, blu-ray and now the 4k version. Unfortunately the 4k version is not much different from the blu-ray. Yes, it's definitely more crisp. And the sound is phenomenal. But they're still many scenes where there is a white glow and firery glow trail from fire's. The original DVD did not have this issue. Only the blu-ray and 4k disc have this problem. Also, there's a lot of grain in the 4k transfer. I understand it's an older movie and it was shot on film. But if you watch Leon (The professional) in 4k version. Which is a few year's older than Saving Private Ryan. You'll notice it's a lot cleaner with almost no grain. Personally I wouldn't buy the 4k version if you already have the blu-ray version. On the other hand, if you have a killer sound system like I do. I would definitely buy the 4k version. I give this 3 star's only because of the sound quality. The Dolby Atoms will blow you away.

Certain elements did not transfer well
August 22, 2019
I began watching this and was immediately impressed with the beach scene. However, as the beach scene started to get closer to the end there are a lot of white, washed out areas and the fire behind some German soldiers had long vertical trails that looked absolutely awful. I read that this was an awesome transfer and I am disappointed with that aspect. A little grain and off color is fine, but this was very distracting.

Elevate your home entertainment experience with this Samsung 7.1.4-channel soundbar system. Wi-Fi functionality enables remote control via a virtual assistant, and the wireless subwoofer and rear speakers combine to deliver an immersive audio experience. This 510W Samsung 7.1.4-channel soundbar system features Bluetooth connectivity for wireless media streaming from compatible devices.
 

I looked at the manual and didnt see any recommendations for room size, in particular the recommended ceiling height for the system. The vizio atmos soundbar gives a recommendation for optimal performance, so what does Samsung recommend for theirs?
