An Emotional film that captures so much of the true emotions that must have been felt and experienced during the dark times of the second world war.
The films centres on Iwo Jima which is an Island of Japan that the USA troops are about to attack, the film centres around the Japanese soldiers as they get ready to take on a far bigger army knowing defeat and death most face them all.
The actors are amazing as is the films direction.
The film reminded me of the recent film Assembly which is perhaps not as well polished as letters from Iwo Jima, but worth a watch If you enjoyed this Assembly [2007]
The HD DVD is as you would expect very good, the only moan is the film has a wasted out colour theme to it (bit arty like the film 300) which didn't allow the HD format to show its true colours. Sound is amazing, the Dolby Digital was clear and bounced out of each speaker which made me duck for cover.
It is defiantly worth buying or renting in HD or Standard DVD.

"Excellent war movie"

The HD DVD release of 'Letters from Iwo Jima' is an experience and everyone should give this "other story" of the Battle of Iwo Jima a shot, whether you enjoyed 'Flags of Our Fathers' or not. Fans will be excited to see that both the video and audio quality set a high definition benchmark for future releases of this sort. And while I personally would have loved to have listened to a director's commentary for this one, a somewhat slim set of supplements is the only small dent in this otherwise impressive package that's well worth your high-def dollar.
