Review Date:

'A Bridge Too Far' is a decent WWII film, ambitious yet uneven; a rental suggested.

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 39

Despite initial low expectations, the Blu-ray release of 'A Bridge Too Far' impresses with a better-than-DVD quality, 1080p/MPEG-2 video, despite some blemishes and a muted palette. It's film-like with accurate fleshtones, though occasionally soft due to filters and weather effects, and suffers slight posterization and noise.

Audio: 29

MGM's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track for an old film is front-heavy with minimal surround sound and some balance issues, yet offers robust bass and clean sound, despite its limitations and occasional distortions.

Extra: 0

'A Bridge Too Far' Blu-ray lacks extras, featuring only the HD theatrical trailer, plus promotional spots for 'Windtalkers,' 'Flyboys,' and the unannounced 'Platoon' Blu-ray.

Movie: 41

A Bridge Too Far," despite its all-star cast and ambitious portrayal of Operation Market Garden, struggles with pacing and coherence, yet captures the futility and spectacle of war.
