Band of Brothers with The Pacific Part One

If you enjoy any war movies, especially Saving Private Ryan, this series should be the next thing you watch. The blu-ray version of this series is beautiful. The grainy film looks amazing on this version. The whole series takes on new life. I watch this series once a year and have ever since it came out on VHS (at that time my neighbor handed it to me one day and said, "Go watch this."). I consider this a must own blu-ray boxset along with The Godfather trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne trilogy, the Oceans trilogy, and The Dark Knight trilogy.Disclaimer: This movie will make you feel a thousand times more patriotic and appreciative. A great reminder of why we should be thankful for the privilege of living here.

then they release this series on Blu-ray. It might be a bit of hyperbole, but I think BOB is perhaps the best mini-series ever made--perhaps the best television series ever. The writing, acting, directing and photography is wonderful. I bought the regular series on DVD sometime back--then I watched the first episode on Blu-ray and was captivated. The level of detail that you can see in the Blu-ray is much better than the regular DVD. I highly recommend BOB on Blu-ray.The Pacific, too, was technically very good. But, I was a little disappointed in the first episode. Judging from the reviews of my friends, it sounds as though the rest of the series is pretty good--but not on a par with BOB.

this story invites you into the minds and hearts of some very fine people called to serve and fight in world war II. I felt a measure of what they did and at the same time came to realize what a touch and go thing the allied victory really was. It also made me understand the large measure of graditude we all owe the vets who are very much just like us. Like all of us except for the fact they stoodup for their country and for basic human decency. They demonstrated strength and endurance I doubt they knew they had and they changed the world by being there for us at a time when the world was going mad.

The box set arrived as promised. This is one of my favorite series and i was excited to find it at such a great price. The bonus disc came as a blueray which was a let down since i do not yet own a player. I dont understand why it was sent as blueray since i ordered the series in dvd. Oh well, its a bone us.

Very entertainin & informatve dramatic epic WWII story. Tying the real life personal interviews to the characters is super. It's nice playing the picture in picture personal interviews - lends a great deal of depth and realism to the events you watch unfolding in the movie. The Blu-ray video quality is super. Audio is also great. Incoming shells, bullets are bouncing off the walls - wow. You just don't watch the movie-you experience it! It's worth every penny!

One of the best WWII adaptations I've seen. This series made me a fan of actors previously unknown to me, like Damien lewis and Scott Grimes. Known actors like Ron Livingston and Neal Mcdonough give the performances of their careers. The box set arrived in excellent condition, no problems whatsoever. It also arrived about 3-4 days faster than I expected.

I am a big fan of the HBO Band of Brothers series and I was prompted to purchase Pacific without ever seeing the series. I was not disappointed. Pacific is a reality check on just how hard the War was for our Marines. Outstanding, do not miss out on owning these series.
