Where are you?


Also, I have not seen this movie, or Flags of Our Fathers and I was wondering which movie should I watch first?

 

[gatti-man]

IMO watch letters first. Watched it last night and thought the movie was great and had a refreshing perspective.

 

[shadowrage]

Watch Flags first. Otherwise you'll be dissapointed, because Letters is top notch.

But Flags isn't bad.

 

[bferr1]

A split vote. How about this: run both movies at the same time on separate TVs?

Watched it last night and thought it was incredible. head and shoulders better than Flags. PQ is top tier easily. sound is as good if not better than anything i've heard on my system. the bombing of the island shook the house pretty good. what a great day for blu-ray, both pirates, apocalypto, letters and flags. all very well done.

I have the HD DVD version and think it is stunning both Video and Audio. So I would imagine the BD is the same. It is definately worth having.

 

[javry]

for the stodgy of us who are still stubbornly wachting things in 720p, is it still worth it?

 

[eddy_winds]

Flags was good

Haven't seen Letters yet

 

[Jenova]

I bought it last night when I picked up both Pirates movies. I'm watching it tonight when i get home from work, can't wait. I've always wanted to see this movie, but it wasn't playing in any of the theaters in my neighborhood when it came out.

Absolutely!

Some HD-DVD reviews of this movie is out. I wonder if the movie will be the same VC-1 encode.

 

[Majestic12]

Great movie, but I found its picture quality to be overrated.


Flags has better PQ.

Am I correct in assuming that you have to see Flags of Our Fathers to fully get into the storyline of Letters (I read about intertwining plots)?

 

[H9K_]

Or the other way around. You should see both.

 

[slksc]

Just saw this last night for the first time. I think it has the most impressive audio quality on any BD I've heard yet. Extremely active use of the surrounds.

I really believe that is what is recommended. "Flags" was released first; later "Letters" was released. It seemed to complement and complete "Flags."

Personally I recommend seeing them in that order. Superb films, both!!


I, too, have them both on HD-DVD but I also see no reason why the Blu-Ray discs shouldn't be just as fine.

 

[robertc88]

Didn't care much for Flags so I didn't buy it. Run, don't walk for Letters. Top notch quality and the content was great!


Thank us later folks if you still didn't see this one since the OP posted almost a year ago !

 

[steven975]

Letters is the better of the two.


Both movies have parallel story lines, but you don't need to see both as the characters are different
