- Casey BrysonApril 26, 2026Insane that this is almost 25 years old. At the time it came it out it paled compared in comparison to Saving Private Ryan, but seeing it now there's little to compare it to so it just hits different. Sound wise the DTS-HD MA track is fantastic. If you have Dolby Surround and Atmos speakers I highly recommend upmixing it as it makes you feel like you are as equally surrounded as the combatants--almost paralyzing given the context.
