Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mini series is outstanding! Every episode is action packed and emotionally moving. If you are into WWII or history shows, you will like it, but it also goes into the personal lives of these young soldiers and what they were facing and not just the fighting. The soundtrack is great, the dialogue is on point, the combat scenes are breath taking, and the acting is top notch. Watch this series, you won't regret it.

I got it home, unwrapped it, and binge watched it. The last disc had the extra's on it. If you like history, and especially war history, this one's for you. All during this one and Band of Brothers, I kept thinking that there was a whole other war going on in a whole different part of the world at the same time. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are attached. Horrifying and incredible. Definitely one to own.

I LOVE WAR/MILITARY MOVIES! THIS SERIES REMINDED ME OF "BAND OF BROTHERS" AND I TRULY ENJOYED IT. THE SERIES WAS SO GOOD I WATCHED IT ALL THE DAY I BOUGHT IT! IF YOU LIKED "BAND OF BROTHERS" YOU WILL LIKE "THE PACIFIC" INDEED. IT DEFINITELY DEPICTS THE HORRORS OF THE PACIFIC BATTLE BETWEEN THE U.S. MARINES AND THE JAPANESE. EXCELLENCE IN CONVEYING THE BRUTAL REALITIES OF WHAT OUR MARINES HAD TO ENDURE ASSOCIATED WITH WAR.

'The Pacific' rates as one of the best mini-series ever produced. While 'Band Of Brothers' covered the exploits of a single unit in Europe during W.W.II, 'Pacific' follows three marines through the horrific battles against the Japanese as the U.S. fought their way from island stronghold to island stronghold. A terrific cast, great production values, and a strong script highlight this top notch historical drama.

when I saw both saving private ryan and band of brothers, I was blown away by the near realism. real combat isn't quite as cinematic. it is as close as can be without being there. it relays the fear, insanity, and (dare i say), futility of war. the pacific is a cinematic and storytelling gem that adds to the crown of great war movies. I hope mr. Spielberg and mr. hanks makes more movies about distant wars.

If you have ever seen "Saving Private Ryan", or "Band Of Brothers", you will be happy to know that you will experience the same kind of extremely high quality storytelling, cinematography, and thrills that you get in the previously mentioned productions. The story and action will draw you in, and tug at your emotions every second.

I watched this after watching the Band of Brothers. While I felt it did not reach the level of Band of Brothers it is still a fine production. The extras are excellent as was the $10 sale price I found at Best Buy. Would recommend watching The Pacific then Band of Brothers if you have not seen either.

If your into these WWII series then this one you have to have. The set itself is great and a pleasure to have. It comes in the similar Tin Case setup as the "BAND OF BROTHERS" Series but not as large (The Pacific is 1/2 inch shorter). The series is 10 parts and the set contains 6 Blue ray Disc with exclusive features included. Well done series and will fit nice in your collection.

This series does an excellent job of portraying the demands and sacrifice placed upon US Marines during the struggle for control of the Pacific islands during WWII. Taken largely from memoirs of Marine mortar man Eugene Sledge and others who were there. The result is a gritty realism and entertaining portrayal. Recommend purchasing the series- you'll want to see some parts more than once.

The Pacific is quite different than Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks Band of Brothers. There is more setup on life back home. The Pacific starts slowly building the background of where and who the characters are. It invests you in their lives and builds a strong personal bond with you. It's a very emotional experience and exacts a strong toll. Outstanding production, outstanding acting and directly.

The Pacific follows the lives of a U.S Marine Corps squad during the campaign within the Pacific against the Japanese Empire during WW2. ... Where The Pacific takes a new direction from its "older brother" is in its depiction of the lives of soldiers who were picked to return home to increase the sales of war bonds.

10 part miniseries that delves into the lives of a group of Marines who do a little island hopping to battle the Imperial Japanese Army troops stationed on the islands of the Pacific. It touches on the horrors of war and the hardships these men suffered in their quest to defeat the enemy so they can get back home.

The Series the Pacific is a good one about the war against Japan.

Quality presentation both in packaging and the actual watch.

Excellent quality release, it features the entire Pacific miniseries in a fold-out paperboard case, within a good quality steel case. The video quality is great, and the show itself is an amazing and realistic look into the Pacific front of WW2, from the point of American soldiers fighting against the Japanese. Great deal, would buy again!

If you are into war movies the first 4 or 5 episodes are the best war movie material I have ever seen. The last episodes are more about the characters and what they had to do to survive the experience. The Ble Ray version is so much better than the DVD version. The picture and the extras are worth having both version if you already have the DVD.

The Pacific gives a unique look into the Pacific theater from the perspective of a core group of marines, that fought at the time. While I enjoyed Band of Brothers more, this is a solid companion series. Both by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. I bought the Pacific at really low sale price and couldn't pass it up.

We have friends with whom we travel. Over the years we have gathered for weekly TV series events. We have watched "Band of Brothers" and various travel shows of places we have been or may want to visit. The plan is to gather and enjoy "The Pacific" as a group. Expectations are high as those who have seen this saga rate it very high.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Pacific series when it was originally broadcast. It helped me recognize the horrors experienced by the Marines who fought in the Pacific. Being a 4 year vet of the US Navy, I would have liked to see more emphasis on the Navy's contribution though. Nonetheless, it was incredibly well done. Now I get to enjoy it again and again.

A space saving design and a lower price makes this a better value than the old version
