Very good DVD s that give a bit more insight into the Japanese thinking and decision to attack Pearl Harbor. It also gives insights on where many decision makers in the United States made mistakes through errors in thinking. Where subordinates gave thoughts or information that was overlooked. If actions would have been taken , it would have thwarted or at least diminished the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The only thing successful was that the aircraft carriers were out for training. Instead the compilation of mistakes made by American decisions basically made the Japanese attack 90% successful. Great history lesson.

Director Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK) uses a tragic romantic triangle to set the stage for the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in this epic tale of love, loss, and patriotism. When Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), a beautiful Navy nurse, meets dashing ace Army fighter pilot Rafe (Ben Affleck), the two fall madly in love, only to be separated abruptly when he is called upon to help fight the war in Europe. Unforeseen circumstances lead Evelyn into the arms of Danny (Josh Hartnett), another fighter pilot and Rafe's best friend since childhood. In the meantime, the Japanese military is planning the surprise early morning raid on Hawaii that will pull the United States into World War II. Spectacular special effects vividly recreate the attack in devastating detail as bombs explode, torpedoes shoot through the water, and bullets fly, shaking tranquil Pearl Harbor to its core. Bay deftly captures the patriotism and the loss of innocence of the young men and women who were suddenly thrust into the war. Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin and Mako also star in this tribute to both the fallen and the survivors of one of the most horrific tragedies ever to occur on American soil.Read full review
watch the bonus features where the people who lived through this tragedy describe how they like the movie and think that it accurately describes the horrors that they lived through. don't buy into others reviews that bash this movie just because it had a love story in it. it was an amazing movie in my opinion and i would watch it again. the blu ray quality however doesn't seem to really shine in this movie. i had the regular dvd and there really wasn't a whole lot of noticeable difference in the visual quality. maybe rent it first to determine if it's worth buying to you.
Great historical story and action, the actors do a really good acting portrayal
