Editor's Notes

Note

B-Tier from Paramount on a film that deserves better. The steelbook has been commanding high resale prices, with some listings hitting $200 USD. Sony taking over Disney's disc production created temporary OOP situations across Paramount's catalog too, and Saving Private Ryan availability fluctuated. The Omaha Beach sequence is the obvious demo material, but the B-Tier transfer means it's not showing what a proper 4K restoration could.
