Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hard to watch at points, gritty and raw. Very similar the style and feel of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, often darker, as was the reality of the war being fought on the islands in the Pacific during WW2. Still, a masterpiece, if you know a Marine, or have heard stories of the Marines fighting in the Pacific, this series of films will resonate. Not for the weak stomached, this will make you cringe and leave you shaken at what horrors the brave US men and women faced in the often forgotten Pacific Theatre. Hitler was an evil that had to be destroyed, but sadly the European fight overshadowed what was happening on the other front. Watch it. Well worth the money, and watch it in Blu-Ray, the quality is awe inspiring.

This 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?

Authentic and convincing retelling of the war in the Pacific during WWII. Contains strong character development although the 3 separate stories of different regiments made it somewhat difficult to follow. The hostile conditions of Pacific islands such as malaria, dysentery, and oppressive humidity added to the misery of the American soldier there. It's extremely graphic but well worth the viewing.

This program does not try to whitewash the events in the Pacific Theater of WW II. The acting is first rate and the equipment and facilities are accurately portrayed. The story includes several key characters to give an indication of the different facets of this time in history. In addition the additional explanatory material rounds out the historical information.

One of the best DVD sets out there. Documentary footage from the men who are depicted in this series is top notch! Thanks Hanks!

Thrilling and exciting and fun too watch and gives you the experience of what actually happened

I had read the books "The Pacific" was based on before it appeared on HBO. While the books (especially "With the Old Breed" by Eugene Sledge) had far more detail, The Pacific was able to put on screen the most important and impactful battles and situations, discussed in those books, in as jarring and demonstrative ways that I never dreamt possible. The Pacific makes it possible for the viewer to put himself (or herself) in the boots of the men who endured the unendureable. Viewers can actually feel like they are an eyewitness to history by watching The Pacific.

The production value of the series is absolutely phenomenal as is the overall quality of the series. Don't go into this thinking it's a show where you'll come out screaming, "YEAH AMERICA!!!" The series is a harrowing and often horrifying look in the one of the most brutal times of warfare. Stunning work overall that needs too be watched by anyone remotely interested in World War II and isn't interested in rose-tinted glasses and romanticism about how horrifying that time really was.

Great blu ray movies thank you great production. Very realistic action packed

Love it. Great re-enactments cinematography just like band of brothers. Another great HBO production w/actual interviews from the real marines who the series portrays. Very good highly recommend! Didnt give 5 star cuz its not available in 4K.

... you might like this series. While not as good as BAND, this one is definitely worth watching.

Love these mini series good action !! Next band of brothers. Black Friday buy awesome price

Aulerb miniseries from hbo. Highly recommended to anyone that is interested in history

I like the movie it was very interesting to see the real people that were in the war.

I really enjoyed the Band of Brothers. This one is great too. It is definitely binge worthy.

Everyone I talk to when comparing Band of Brothers to The Pacific says that they don't like the Pacific as much because it jumps around. Read history books and you'll find out that the Pacific Theater in WWII did exactly that... jump from island to island. Speilberg and Hanks did a tremendous job in working with this and following the different units of Marines around the Pacific and on the home front afterwards. If you don't know much about the Pacific campaign, I would recommend reading some books first.

The Pacific is an astonishing gut wrenching eye opening followup to the Spielberg-Hanks produced Band of Brothers. It takes you along side the true stories of three U S Marines and puts you right in the middle of some of the most historic and bloody battles of WW2 with no emotions held back. You could not imagine what our heroes of the bloody South Pacific campaigne could have gone through without this 10 part film. You will have a new appreciation of these armed forces and possibly what it took for us to remain the free and the brave. This is not one to be missed!

The Pacific is a good series for those that like war movies. Lots of good acting and action.

I enjoyed this mini series thoroughly. It was action packed and intense. Highly recommend.

This was a relatively outstanding miniseries about WWII in the Pacific. There were stories within the story about individual soldiers on and off the battlefield. Each ministory was evenly good possibly because of the executive producers that were Tom Hanks, Steven Spielber, and Gary Goetzman. One or two of the ministories were also directed by one of these producers. But many of the stories were directed by other very good directors. All-in-all, a tolerable miniseries of the war in the Pacific, a subject that has been gone over many times but mostly with a depressing outcome.
