- Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2023Verified PurchaseI very much prefer this 1930 version of the film to the 2022 version. It is a truer adaptation of Remarque's book, in both spirit and narrative. In fact in many parts the dialogue is not even changed. The movie is a fantastic and realistic watch today, given that this was a very early movie made with sound.
Lewis Milestone's masterful direction, combined with innovative cinematography, powerful screenplay adaptation and the excellent acting, truly make it an extraordinary film that holds up well today.
Universal Studio's restoration of the movie into this 1080p blu-ray is just fantastic. The process of restoration is explained in one of the included extras.
(The 2022 version, available on Netflix, is a timely new adaptation of the book for present day audiences. However, it detracts considerably from the story line and also the spirit of the novel, thereby losing much of the original meaning.
For example, the entire part of Paul's visit home on leave, where his feelings of disconnection and lack of belonging in his village - a significant element of the book - has been removed in the 2022 version! The inclusion of the armistice talks and of the (historically inaccurate) order for a last attack, minutes before armistice is to take effect also seem to detract from the meaning of the book.)

- Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2021Verified PurchaseThis movie was done old format without all the bells and whistles that modern movies have. It is black and white and the acting is of the calibre that should be expected from that era, a little corny and exaggerated. All in all it is a great movie that depicts WW1 from the soldiers viewpoint on the German side, which, all things considered, is the same for all sides in this type of conflict.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)
Verified PurchaseAn excellent film. Although some of the acting may be a bit suspect, it sticks to the original storyline unlike the 2022 version which is utter rubbish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimative Luxusedition des Antikriegsfilm-Klassikers
Verified PurchaseDiese Hollywood-Verfilmung des Bestsellers von Erich Maria Remarque von 1930 hat auch nach fast 100 Jahren nichts von seiner Faszination verloren: Packend und realistisch zeigt sie gnadenlos die Brutalit?t des Stellungskriegs in den Sch¨¹tzengr?ben, in dem Millionen junger M?nner als Kanonenfutter verheizt wurden. Sie zogen um der Ehre Willen als Helden in den angeblich patriotischen Krieg, um das Vaterland zu verteidigen. Alles L¨¹ge! Wer nicht get?tet wurde, kehrte verst¨¹mmelt oder f¨¹r immer traumatisiert zur¨¹ck - die Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts. 140 Minuten lang dauert der Film, der als einer der fr¨¹hen Tonfilme ein absoluter Meilenstein der Filmgeschichte ist.
Nat¨¹rlich hat diese Schwarzwei?-Verfilmung nichts mit modernen, von Computeranimationen unterst¨¹tzten Filmen gemeinsam. Und trotzdem steht der damalige Einfallsreichtum, mit dem die Brutalit?t des 1. Weltkriegs anschaulich gemacht wurde, der heutigen Technik in nichts nach. Abgesehen davon war der Krieg beim Dreh gerade mal 10 Jahre vorbei. Viele der Protagonisten hatten selbst Kriegserfahrung, ein nicht zu untersch?tzender Faktor.
?Im Westen nichts Neues¡° war als Film von Anfang an sehr umstritten, weil er wie die Romanvorlage von Erich-Maria Remarque mit pazifistischer Grundhaltung schonungslos die Sinnlosigkeit dieses und ¨¹berhaupt aller Kriege aufzeigt. Viele Deutsche waren verkappte Militaristen und wollten das nicht wahrhaben. Im Gegenteil: Krieg wurde noch als legitimes Mittel der Politik betrachtet.
Der Film ist mehrfach gek¨¹rzt, umgeschnitten und synchronisiert worden. Die wechselvolle Produktionsgeschichte wird in der Dokumentation ?Geschundenes Zelluloid¡° dokumentiert. Als weiteres Extra gibt es ein Gespr?ch zwischen dem legend?ren Film- und Theaterkritiker Friedrich Luft und Erich Maria Remarque von 1963. Der Autor pr?sentiert sich als ein liebensw¨¹rdiger, charmanter Mann, der mit Witz und Esprit aus seinem Leben erz?hlt.
Diese liebevoll ausgestattete, wenn auch kostspielige Box enth?lt 5 Blu-rays und 1 DVD mit diversen Schnitt- und Synchronfassungen, ausf¨¹hrlichem Begleitmaterial mit vielen Fotos und Hintergrundinformationen. Hier bleibt kaum eine Frage unbeantwortet. F¨¹r Sammler, Cineasten und allen Filmfans, die der Historie dieses Films auf den Grund gehen wollen.

5.0 out of 5 stars And suddenly, it went all quiet.
Verified PurchaseIt's fairly common for novel-movie adaptations to, quite literally, fail before a release has made it to the theatres, and the same can even be said for remakes (Colin Farell's casting in Total Recall made the entire planet groan). In the case of 'All Quiet on the Western Front - a subject encapsulated by warfare - the legibility can become even more crucial since Erich Remarque's translations of a lost generation where already harrowing in their textual form. So harrowing that it stands as one of the greatest pieces of anti-war literature ever conceived.
Fortunately, this 1930 movie is one of the rare adaptations that not only meets, but often exceeds the imagery found in the original book. Sure enough, if you're not used to watching movies from this era then it's perfectly acceptable to question the actors accents and, at times, very staged performances, but these are attributes born from the era that this film was made. Being one of the first 'talkies' to have any kind of success, it's fascinating to witness the often awkwardness of the older actors bellowing into the microphones (in order for the sound to be picked up), and the gentle naivety of guiding the audience vocally.
'All Quiet...' is shocking, thought provoking and genuinely cruel. Based upon the diary entries of a young German soldier, the experiences perfectly exemplify the propaganda, excitement, reality, frustration, acceptance and death that formed the livelihood of almost everyone involved. And for every generation lost, a new one was ready and waiting to serve.
You'd expect a film over 80-years old to not have the same degree of realism that we have come to expect today - particularly during action scenes - but in many cases, the scenes present in 'All Quiet...' are worryingly real. So real that it disposes any notion CGI could recreate this kind of drama whilst still retaining an emotional connection with the characters. The black and white photography only enhances the realism of this footage as it mirrors the similar style photography that we have come to expect from archive footage. Everything, from the explosive effects to the trenches, is completely genuine and not wrapped up in a self-indulgent mess.
As for the restoration of this film, I was pleased to read that Universal spent so much money (little under a quarter of a million) and time getting it up to shape for a new master, and the results on the whole are excellent. Detail is truly amazing - particularly if you've been used to watching an old DVD or VHS version of this film. Contrast is simply excellent, and the removal of judder from ageing film stock has really stabilised what used to be awfully shaky scenes.
Could Universal have done a better job themselves? Perhaps, but only if they invested even more time, and with the breadth of their release schedule at the moment that was obviously not possible. Their work is not always perfect - scratches appear only on certain elements - but it simply looks wonderful on the whole. If I only had one complaint, its the 'digitised' effect that the grain has on some scenes.
The audio however is flawless, which is rare coming from a mono track. The clarity and dynamic range is vastly improved (possibly beyond it's original state), and the really reveals little details that you may never have heard. One the very last scene of this movie, you actually hear the motor of the camera running in the background, and during the battle sequences, shell fire effects sound unbelievable better. Hiss is obviously a product of it's time (due to optical recording techniques), but one of this movies most powerful elements is it's lack of music, and the decision to grant silence as an emotive catalyst. It's insanely powerful.
Finally, we have the 'Digibook' itself - an addition that will mean a lot to some, little to others. Considering how cheap this product is, I think it's absolutely excellent that Universal have included such lovely packaging and a wonderful book inside to match, and the best part is that it forms part of a 'Collectors Series' that Universal have begun (with titles like Jaws, E.T and The Sting having the same format). You can read bios about the actors and much, much more. Sadly this doesn't make up for the lack of Bonus Features on the disc itself, and if it wasn't for the awesome quality of the rest of the product, then I would go down to 4 Stars. Such a groundbreaking and culturally significant film deserves at least ONE feature that critically reflects on the film, but Universal decided to include absolutely nothing apart from the silent version of the movie, and two very short features that reflect on the studios history.
Despite this annoyance, 'All Quiet...' on Blu-ray demonstrates just what can be achieved through restoring something over 80-years old, and this only serves to give the product far more impact than in its previous battered state. If you are unable to weep at the very last scene of this movie, then do yourself a favour and at least read the original diary.
