"A gripping and respectful wartime drama with strong performances, excellent aerial sequences, and impressive craftsmanship. The restoration is outstanding, preserving the film's classic look while adding remarkable clarity."
"This film looks incredible. Not just for its age, but just incredible. It’s very much a film for war-film fans, no surprise there, and it’s documentary feel won’t be for everyone. I liked it - its depiction of these important mission and servicemen is timeless and enduring in its respectful depiction of what went on and, well, down. The extras are very, very well done."
"Let’s get this out of the way first - yes, there are aspects of The Dam Busters that haven’t aged well. The somewhat logy first half, for one, and the stuffy, removed approach to heroism. (VEDDY British. ) And of course, there’s the dog’s name… Yet the film’s story is so compelling - and the final trench run so exciting - that the film still works as a cracking war procedural. And the Film Movement special features are thoughtfully produced and all interesting."
"Wow the picture quality of the 4K disc looks fantastic! What a transfer indeed looks pristine. I'm happy to finally see this flick as I've heard it's reminiscent of the Death Star scene in Star Wars. Actually quite similar. Great movie and there are so many great extras too. It's crazy that Michael Anderson is the same guy who directed the schlock classic Orca."
"Film Movement's worldwide 4K debut of this 1955 British war classic is a genuine event for anyone who's been waiting for it to get the treatment it deserves. StudioCanal's meticulous restoration looks extraordinary, the grain structure untouched, and the aerial sequences have never had this kind of clarity. A three-disc set distributed through VS and loaded with historical extras to match the material."
"Great 1st time watch. Highly recommend. Star Wars scene taken from this movie."
"Beautiful example this one A plethora of extras gorgeous slipcase/cover and decent transition to 4k A very welcome addition"
"Classic movie. Awesome to see this get an absolutely amazing release. Picture transfer is awesome."
