Full Metal Jacket (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital)

Product Information

The majority of the urban combat was filmed at an abandoned gasworks facility that hadn’t been used since after World War I. Joker tries to keep Pyle in line, but his slowness and lack of physical stamina provide him with a world of verbal and mental abuse. Pyle, breaking Robert De Niro's movie weight-gain record (60 pounds) for Raging Bull (1980) (a record that still stands as of 2020). From there we hear about casting and performances, recreating Vietnam in England, the length of the shoot and its effect on the actors, Kubrick’s working methods, some themes and interpretation, and thoughts about the movie’s legacy.

Surround Sound Presentation: Surrounds are working mostly for echo at first… Hartman’s voice is commanding in the front AND the rears. Warner’s Ultra HD release presents the film in native 4K, newly scanned from the original camera negative by Warner Bros. It covers much of the same territory but still manages not to repeat a lot of the content from that track.After five years spent making ' The Shining, Stanley Kubrick decided to venture once again into the war genre. Jacket featured a fairly subdued palette for the most part, and the disc replicated these hues well. In addition to the film’s trailer, we find a documentary entitled Full Metal Jacket: Between Good and Evil. Undeniably, even though he’s only in the first half of the film, most people come to remember the late great R. The folks at Warner’s Motion Picture Imaging have done an excellent job here on yet another one of Kubrick’s classics.

D’Onofrio dominates the first part of the film and still appears in the rest even though his character is gone; he just shows up less frequently, so the track becomes Cocks’ baby. The Vietnam sequences provided the strongest colors, especially during sunset shots, as on those occasions, the golden tones were strong. Full Metal Jacket ambushes to 4K with a brand new 2160p UHD transfer with HDR10 that was supervised by Kubrick's personal assistant Leon Vitali. This sound mix is definitely not what some had hoped for, but given its limitations of source material still delivers a somewhat impressive surround presentation. His centred close-up shots lend the feature a haunting edge and a distinctive look, cranking up the tension for that final haunting sniper skirmish, even if what will always be best remembered about this movie is the horrors that the recruits faced before they were even deployed.His team, Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Eightball (Dorian Harewood) and others are welcoming to Joker and Rafterman and they tour together, fighting off the Vietnamese and facing horrors of war at every turn. While location scouting for the film Stanley Kubrick was driving his wife's new SUV around the countryside with cinematographer Douglas Milsome and R. It’s nothing at all bothersome, by no means, but it’s again, just some obvious occasional hiss in the center channel, where the dialogue is delivered. Upon graduating, one of the recruits, Joker (Modine), is thrown into the war at the height of the Tet Offensive.

There are also a few lines of dialogue that reference other movies (Apocalypse Now, for one) which may or may not be intentional on SK’s part. The film finally hits the format on 9/22, and here we have it, all the info you need on the release.The performances in this film given by Matthew Modine, Vincent D’Onofrio, Adam Baldwin, and the late R. Hartmann's performance and the recruits' reactions as convincing as possible, Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, and the other actors playing recruits never met R.
