Band of Brothers [Blu-ray] [6 Discs]

This is a really good package for an excellent miniseries. The digital code said it was expired but I was still able to redeem it. Well worth it!

Fantastic show, everyone who has the slightest interest in World War 2 needs to watch this short series. Go get it in-store so you can make sure you get the version with the beautiful slip cover. If you have it on dvd it's still worth it to upgrade, not just for the improved visuals and sound quality from bluray but because it has a new picture-in-picture commentary "In the Words of Easy Company". The discs have an interesting print on them that reminds me of film negatives that my camera cannot accurately capture.

This series based on the U.S. Army 101st Airborn Division's inception and missions from Operation Overlord to V-J day. I found it to be moving, though it had a couple of historical inaccuracies...they did not liberate Kaufering, a sub camp of Dachau, but arrived the day after it was discovered by the 134th Ordnance Maintenance Battalion of the 12th Armored Division, and which Allied unit first reached and breached Kehlsteinhaus is still disputed. The Battle of the Bulge sequences were heart-wrenching. What these heroes of Easy Company experienced was so vividly portrayed on screen. It was hard to watch at times. Excellent drama.

Band of Brothers offers a realistic and unique perspective, from the soldiers who lived it, into a period of American history and that of the world. It is the dramatic story of these young men's war journey from basic training to England's battlegrounds and depicts their bravery, sacrifice and bond of brotherhood. The story is captivating and worthy of watching.

One of the best War movie series put together. Great cast and kudos to Spielberg/ Hanks for their work to get this collection made. Visuals and special effects along with extras make this a must.

Fantastic show, that follows a company of soldiers/brothers during WW2. Not to be missed. Great packaging!

The blu-ray quality is amazing, as is the sound. The extras offer a great lesson in history, and an interesting background to the action in the miniseries.

Always wanted to add this to my collection. The series is amazing. Heartwarming and heartbreaking. The characters are well written and the world building really helps with immersion. Couple that with a great price of 9.99 (when I picked it up) and it was definitely a must buy. Only wish it came with a digital copy too. Still great though.
