I love the movie. Steven Spielberg movie are all best movie.

Lock & load - just watch your thumb on the M1 Garand ! This mini series really brings to your living room the horror of WWII and the sacrifices made and hard ships endured by our troops securing our freedom in WWII. We salute them thru and across time & space

Brought to us by Tom hanks, Stephen Spielberg, and Gary Goetzman - who also brought us The Band of Brothers on Home Box Office. But instead of taking place in The European Theater, it takes place in The Pacific Theater as the name implies. The series is based on actual events from such books as Helmet for My Pillow, The Old breed, and others. The show includes performance s by Rami Malek and Joe Mazzello from Bohemian Rhapsody. They are joined an outstanding cast of others who give us an idea of what went on in the Pacific of World War 2. It's an excellent program that should not be missed!

I was more familiar with the ETO (European Theater of Operations) as it was primarily Army. (I served in the Army from 1968 - 2010). The series focused on Marine operations but I was fascinated as my father was an infantryman serving in the Pacific with the 43rd Infantry Division. The interviews with the Marines who were portrayed by actors in the series were fascinating. I also recommend the book for those who like to read. The movie is very close to the book The Pacific by the historian Ambrose.

As a former Marine I found this an outstanding series. It provided back story to many of the names that are a part of Marine Corps history. I will say that some of the combat scenes were difficult to watch and brought back memories but the camaraderie of the men reminded me why Marines are what we are. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone....especially former and current Marines. It should be required viewing for new recruits.

One of the best series. I already owned it on DvD but had to oick it up for Blu-ray. Gives a great look into lives and deeds of American hero’s. Both those that came back and those that didnt.

Great depiction of the World War II's Pacific theater, engrossing dramatic stories that will give you a unique experience of what are Military went through.

Tom Hanks and Spielberg hit it out of the park again with another fantastic homage to the heroes and experiences of WW2. It's worth noting that even though it's a WW2 drama, it's different from Band of Brothers in almost every way possible. Band of Brothers, in my mind, is a celebration of the brotherhood and courage of Easy Company 101st Airborne. It gives a glimpse into the heroism and resolve of the soldiers who endured some of the worst that the American forces faced in the war in Europe from DDay, Carentan, Market Garden, Bastogne, and a few other key engagements. The Pacific continues the trend of a character driven narrative with high production value but tells a much darker and more abysmal story of the horrors that the 1st Marines faced at Guadalcanal, Peleleiu, Okinawa, and Iwo Jima. The supporting cast is rather large, though the main focus of this series is on 3 particular individuals; Bob Leckie, John Basalone, and Eugene Sledge - the material for most of the series was taken from Bob Leckie's autobiography "Helmet for my Pillow" and Eugene Sledge's autobiography "With the Old Breed: at Peleliu and Okinawa". While there are some scenes which visually romanticize the American vision of the rugged bare-chested marine fighting the "Japs" in the pacific - the charm is quickly overshadowed by the horrors of the non-conventional warfare our marines faced in the Pacific theatre. The Japanese warriors who engaged in night attacks, banzai bayonet charges, and suicide attacks are portrayed in a very dark and terrifying manner that definitely does justice to the brutality of the combat which took place. While Hollywood typically demonizes America's enemies in these sorts of features - the writers did a good job of respecting the Japanese as people and giving an accurate portrayal of the motivations of combatants on both sides of the conflict. What this series does that Band of Brothers didn't is show the difficulties of the soldiers who returned from the war and the mental toll that the war in the Pacific took on them. There are some scenes that are real tear-jerkers, having felt especially bonded to the characters and their experiences. While I think I prefer Band of Brothers if I had to pick a favorite, I still greatly admire The Pacific as a spectacle that stands on its own. It shares a very different story than Band of Brothers and I would highly recommend. Note: This series is especially violent and gratuitous in its portrayal of many of the themes of the war in the pacific. Everything from the violence, the language, and the secksual content is quite R-rated so this might not be the most appropriate for younger audiences.

Fantastic 10 parts series about the war in the pacific. Engaging from start to finish. Anyone with interest in WW2 or the time period would enjoy this series

This mini-series follows the lives of a fictional group of U.S. Marines, during the Second World War, fighting in the Pacific theater. These Marines not only fight the enemy but boredom, diseases, and their personal demons and try to maintain some semblance of humanity amid the chaos, and hell, of war. A powerful look at men in war.

Spend some time in the greatest conflict the world has ever known. See the Greatest Generation at its best. Learn things about World War II that you never knee. This DVD set should be required viewing by all Americans. There are so many lessons to learn. Watch this DVD set before our society fades away.

The Pacific Theater comes to life in this stunning film series. Spielberg & Hanks did another masterful job of recreating what our greatest generation did for the world. "THE PACIFIC" does for that World War II Theater what "BAND OF BROTHERS" did for yhr European Theater. Another can't miss Mini-Series!

WW2 was more than just the German's. The GI's had to face massive challenges against the Japanesse. You'll see that here. Great watch

Delivered in a timely manner with no damage. All the disc's were held in the case and had no scratches.

Acurate movie series based on WWII in the pacific side of the war. Best WWII series in my opinion.

While most people know the story of WWII in Europe few know about the struggle and fierce fighting that took place in the Pacific. This series is a good portrayal of the other side of the War going on simultaneously with the invasion of Europe by the Allies.

A tear dropping, heart breaking telling of the war in the Pacific.

This is a must see series for WWII history buffs, Based on real life stories of WWII heroes, Very realistic actions that took place in historic Pacific battles. This blue ray DVD's are replacing the original dvd's that I purchased a few years ago.

Our son loves history. He watched this over the summer break. Very good series.

This, along with Band of Brothers, are my favorite military shows/movies to watch. Greatest storytelling.
