Synopsis

Band of Brothers producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg re-team to produce this ten-hour World War II miniseries based on the books With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie. Additional interviews conducted by the filmmakers in collaboration with Hugh Ambrose (son of late Band of Brothers author Stephen E. Ambrose) detail the arduous odysseys of U.S. Marines Sledge, Leckie, and John Basilone from their first skirmishes in Guadalcanal to their eventual return to American soil following V-J Day. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Don't Try to Conpare to Band of Brothers

Posted by: from NC on 04/13/2013Lots of people use Band of Brothers as the measuring stick against which The Pacific should be considered. But they shouldn't as BOB and TP seem to have two different objectives: To show the relationship between "brothers" during a time of war, and the relationship between combatants and war itself, respectively. If you can appreciate it on its own merit, you'll find The Pacific is a great series.

Posted by: from Annandale, VA on 01/19/2013This is an awesome series about the Marines in WW2 in the Pacific Ocean theatre. With nothing but respect to everyone who served in Europe (and elsewhere) during the war, the depiction of what the US Marine Corps faced in the Pacific, on these God-forsaken islands and in the surrounding water makes the Band of Brothers guys look like they went through a disagreeable spat at a local country club (which they most certainly did not). Both series are amazing testaments to what these heroes did in fighting WW2. Just amazing. The DVD extra features speak to the care the producers and actors took in showing what they went through. How did anyone survive?

A highly recommended series.

Posted by: from Huntington, IN on 01/28/2012I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys military movies. It's filmed very realisticly. It will put you right there in battle and give you a bit of an idea what it was like for the people who were there. It is guaranteed to make you cry and make you feel patriotic at the same time.

Posted by: from Chattanooga, TN on 01/25/2012Excellent series in it's own right. I wish folks gave this series the credit it deserves and let go of the Band of Brother's comparisons.

???JH72???

Posted by: from on 06/19/2011Please, please ,PLEASE. Do not let this JH72 sway you from watching this series. It is absolutely the best war drama available. WOW, this person would not recommend this to a friend yet gives it a 4/5 star rating??? Also if you are worried about "s.e.x" scenes, do not watch because the gore is much to bloody for you!

Does not live up to Band Of Brothers

Posted by: from Denver, CO on 01/15/2011Although The Pacific was touted to be similar to Band of Brothers, The Pacific takes liberal dramatic license in the personal lives of the soldiers the stories focus on. The sexually explicit series does not have any interviews with the living veterans of the Pacific Theater, something that I regard as a particular strength of the series predecessor Band Of Brothers. This being said, the cinematography is superb, the acting brilliant. Just not as well done or honest as Band of Brothers, which was a disappointment.

Awesome Mini-Series

Posted by: from Miami, FL on 01/14/2011When I saw this Mini-Series, it blew my mind away. To realized what our young men did, during WWII, makes you wondered how they survived any of it. Great Blu-ray
