The transfer itself is beautiful, and this anime looks better than ever on blu-ray. However, the new release has only one subtitle track for both the Japanese and English. Previous releases had better, more accurate subtitles for the original Japanese audio. This is the only reason for 4 out of 5 stars.
Acting, story, and directing - all masterfully done as can be expected from almost every Spielberg film. Following 2013's "Lincoln", he has once again outdone himself in making a gripping historical thriller, with yet another outstanding performance from Hanks. What truly defines a masterpiece of historical drama is the feeling of utter suspense you feel despite already having some idea how the story will end. This is one of those kinds of movies.
