I bought this product because I didn't have The Pacific box set and I really wanted to upgrade from the Band of Brother DVD tin boxset I had from 2002/2003. Several friends had tried to dissuade me from getting the BluRays since they said the DVD's upscaled well and they didn't see a need for BluRay.
The transfer to BluRay, in my opinion, was pretty good. Performing a side-by-side comparison of the Normandy invasion in the 2nd episode of Band of Brothers, it was clear the BluRay version was superior. I have not yet watched The Pacific, but I am sure that will also be an excellent rendition of that show. You can see grainy-ness in the episodes, but that is a small price compared to the distorted darks/blacks of the DVD being upscaled onto a 1080P screen - it may even be intentional.
For anyone who has purchased the original DVD tin of Band of Brothers, you will not be disappointed with this purchase. The discs are packaged in a folder which is placed inside a cardboard/magnetic container (not tin, sorry!). The folder is well made and I think it's actually nicer than the fold away style of the DVD tin.
This is one of the best movie series of all time. You really get a feel for the WW II "experience" and how ordinary people did such unbelievably extraordinary things for our country. I will certainly watch this series multiple times and encourage others to watch it so that we are remember what these soldiers did to ensure our freedom.
Also, the interviews with some of the actual soldiers portrayed in the movies are both enlightening and heart-wrenching. They are truly heroes in so many ways.
This series deserves 100 thumbs up!
I bought the product because I love war movies and this miniseries is a must have, it is very well made the sound the acting the locations and the storyline is very awesome is like a documentary, it is full of action very well made special effects and its very entertaining I would recommend to all war movie lovers.
Excellent DVD set, it put you in both the Pacific and European theatres. The DVD puts you at the battle front, with the emotions of soldiers on the sleeve. I am a history buff, and recommend putting this into your war archive.
This is not for the weak stomached it is very gory, and brings every detail of war to the forefront.
Great set of series. Really can watch it over and over again... Includes great special features and looks pretty good in HD.
