Summary: Raid On Entebbe DVD
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RZLZ3C86VRXZJ If you have, like me, wasted money on this current commercial release you will understand why people are so angry about this dvd.I have many 'home recorded' films but always prefer to buy a commercial release dvd if there is one, this purchase has left me wondering why i did so on this occasion.I have attached a set of movie clips from my own personal recording (digital TV)you will see that it is far better than this current commercial release !!
Raid On Entebbe is a superb Film ! that goes without saying. Having decided to obtain a 'commercial release' of Raid On Entebbe I was totally disgusted with the quality of the Region 1 (ntsc) issue that i ordered from a company based in the USA. I author and produce DVDs as a small concern and sell to collectors on ebay and ioffer etc and could not believe that a large company could issue a DVD produced to the low standard that the DVD was that i received. The picture is dark and grainy, the quality is so poor the film is totally ruined, and thats apart from losing several minutes from the original film ! The DVD case has what i would describe as low grade artwork, i can live with that if the film itself is good quality but neither the film or artwork are good.I ordered a second DVD from another supplier as the cover design was different and expected a better copy but to no avail, that was rubbish also. I have an excellent quality print of Raid On Entebbe which i obtained some time ago,a home TV broadcast digital recording, the print i have is sharp and the colours true. I in fact took screen stills from both my print and the commercial issue and compared the same pictures side by side,and could not believe the difference i was seing, not only that but the sound quality was much lower on the 'official' release. I author and supply many DVDs to collectors worldwide and produce artwork for all my DVDs so know whats involved, I would regard the official release DVD disc as no better than a coffee cup coaster. Raid on Entebbe however is not the only release to suffer low quality reproduction, it seems the major companies are also churning out some of the older films using very low quality film prints, i have better quality that i recorded 20 years ago on vhs than what some are putting out for sale. I used to believe that a DVD issued by a major DVD company was going to be the best quality available, sadly this is not the case these days. I have hundreds of home recordings which i will keep watching and save money in the meantime if companies keep putting out low quality dvds such as Raid On Entebbe.

Summary: Good movie
Comment: It's a good movie and definitely a great story. Anytime folks stand up to evil and prevail, it deserves an applaud. This is a true story of terrorist kidnapping of a passenger airliner and holding them hostage trying to get them exchanged for release of imprisoned terrorists. The Israeli special forces go to work and pull off a stunning rescue with minimal casualties on their side. It only briefly mentions the aftermath in closing credits, but I think it deserves greater attention. Specifically the killing of the innocent hostage who was transported into a Ugandan hospital prior to the rescue as well as firing of the Air France pilot/captain who stayed behind with his passengers. In today's world, these are issue that need more attention.
There are some great actors in this movie. I was already quite familiar with the story line and the outcome before watching this movie so for me the suspense wasn't there. However, it was still very enjoyable and I'd recommend this movie to others.

Summary: A Classis
Comment: This film is a classic and the most accurate telling of this thrilling rescue. The cast is terrific. While you know how it ends the docudrama style maintains its suspense. A MUST for the serious movie buff.

Summary: Raid On Entebbe
Comment: This is a terrific movie with a terrific cast. After an airliner with Israeli citizens was hijacked and all the jewish people were separated from the other passengers by the terrorists the Israeli government went to work to rescue them. It showed the toughness of the Israeli's and how they would stop at nothing to save their citizens. It's a wonderful true story of one terrorist defeat!! God bless them!!

Comment: The movie was not as good as the book "90 mnts at Entebbe". The picture quality was very ordinary. Looked like a low budget film. Was a bit disappointing.
