I have been a fan of this film since it first appeared in theaters, so I've owned just about every copy of this film on home video: VHS, laserdisc, DVD, Blu-Ray. However, this 4k release is the best this film has ever looked. If you're a fan of this film, I highly recommend this 4k disc. You won't be disappointed.

This looks great on my TV, but the film is sadly dated. In 1995, this was an epic film with intense action, great cinematography, realistic production design, and an engaging story. However, 25 years later an epic on the David Lean scale this is not. Mel's acting is a bit over the top, he monopolizes every scene with a macho bravado that makes your eyes roll after the first 30 minutes, and the historical accuracy is laughable. With that said, its still a fun film to watch, but I don't think this film is worthy of being called "classic."
