Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent miniseries
I watched this on cable before the Blu-Ray set was available and bought it as soon as it came out. I believe this is by far the best film/TV treatment of War and Peace. The acting is consistently excellent and so are the production values. There were enough battle scenes to make it realistic, but most of the story takes place away from the actual fighting itself.
The actor who plays Pierre is the first actor I have seen who makes the part believable. His naivete is offset by his good heart, so instead of finding him annoying (which can happen even when you're reading the book), he comes across the way Tolstoy probably wanted him to, as a decent person who evolves over time.
The Blu-Ray set has 2 discs, each with 4 episodes. The second disc also has 5 short extras. Image and audio quality are excellent .
War and Peace [DVD] is a great miniseries-very enjoyable

War and Peace fantastic mini series
When it was on TV I was not going to watch it. However I tuned in just to see what it was like and I was hooked. You feel as if you are a part of it. I could,hardly wait for,the next episode. The nice part about the Blue Ray Collection is no commercials. The country side views are breath taking. As well as the Mansions and locations. If you have not seen this mini series then don't miss your chance. You will,enjoy it.
