Empire of the Sun

One of the all time great films. A must watch

Tedious version of a great book. Moments of leaden boredom. Posterity has not been kind to this film.

Simply put. One of the best films ever made. Cinematic Excellence!

This film should be labelled the cure for Constipation Thanks Steven Spielberg you're the man !! In a film with Christian bale loses his parents to tragic circumstances. In the course of the film he learns to deal with his Issues By putting on cape and fights crime In the mean streets of Gotham city

Empire of the Sun is a true epic, beautifully filmed and moving. An all time favourite and glorious to finally be able to watch in HD. One of Spielberg's very best.

To me Empire of the Sun is one of the most underappreciated movies ever, it is a beautiful film, brilliantly captured and amazingly put together. I love this film and recommend it to everyone who thinks they know Steven Speilberg

J.G. Ballard is one of Britains most important writers and will remain so for a long time to come. This is essentially Jim Ballards autobiography, with a few modifications - and well worth the watch. Spielberg's adaptation is pretty good in the main and does the book proud in many respects. Like most movies there are parts missing or inventions in plot and aim, but otherwise it is very watchable. However, like that well worn cliche - the literary text will always outshine the film. Great stuff all the same.

This is a great film! Funny in places and heart breaking in others NB my dad was part of the sound crew who won Bafter for Best Sound with this film (Gary Weir & Collin Charles). Photography is amazing too. This is not an action film for those who have not seen, but a tale of a journey.

I live away from my parents and family….this movie is beyond anything that will touch your heart.

Empire of the Sun is one of my all time favorite movies Spielberg cast unknown british school boy Christian Bale in the lead of this epic telling of J.G. Ballard's book I have watched this film many times over the years and it still moves me on so many levels Filmed beautifully with an amazing cast and moving soundtrack buy, sit back and enjoy......
