THE MOVIE \u2014 4\u00bd\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>It is the first year of Germany’s occupation of France. Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine (BRAD PITT) assembles a team of Jewish soldiers to commit violent acts of retribution against the Nazis, including the taking of their scalps. He and his men join forces with Bridget von Hammersmark (DIANE KRUGER), a German actress and undercover agent, to bring down the leaders of the Third Reich. Their fates converge with theater owner Shosanna Dreyfus (MELANIE LAURENT), who seeks to avenge the Nazis’ execution of her family at the hands of brutal SS Officer Hans Landa (CHRISTOPH WALTZ).<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Inglourious Basterds<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t on my list of favorite Tarantino movies with Pulp Fiction<\/em> and even Jackie Brown<\/em> being at the top (the latter of course an adaptation of a Elmore Leonard novel), but after seeing Basterds<\/em><\/strong> for only the second time (the first I believe was in theaters in 2009), this one still holds up so well. It\u2019s just an all around brutal yet entertaining war-thriller featuring excellent performances, but none more so than Chrisoph Waltz who took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Also worth mentioning is Brad Pitt who is charming as ever along with M\u00e9lanie Laurent providing the more emotional center.<\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t quite think this is a masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino, it\u2019s still one hell of a ride from beginning to end and never once feels its 2.5 hour running time. Given it had been 12 years since I last watched this, the replay value is right up there with a Pulp Fiction<\/em>. His direction is solid but better yet, his screenplay is taut and damn near perfect with dialogue that never felt forced.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Universal releases Inglourious Basterds<\/em><\/strong> onto 4K Ultra HD and is presented in the original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and a 2160p high-definition transfer. The picture here looks brilliant, detail incredibly sharp throughout with the original film grain and noise still ever evident giving it a very theatrical look. Even though the movie is dark in tone with the World War II setting, and savagery shown on the screen, colors are still vivid and bright. I did not see any evident flaws so this does appear to be a clean transfer on the whole.<\/p>\n

The disc includes a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which I\u2019m guessing is the similar or the same as the initial Blu-ray release. Whatever the case, though, this is a strong lossless track, dialogue comes across with nice clarity and there is some good depth with some of the more suspense-thriller sequences with an underlying bass courtesy of the LFE channel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, Inglourious Basterds<\/em><\/strong> is a standout film amongst the other greats from Quentin Tarantino with sharp dialogue and incredible performances, especially from Chrisoph Waltz.
