Product description

Product Description

From the producers of Band of Brothers, The Pacific tracks the real-life journeys of three U.S. Marines--Robert Leckie (James Badge Dale), Eugene Sledge (Joe Mazzello) and John Basilone (Jon Seda)--across the vast canvas of the Pacific Theatre during World War II. The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the impenetrable rain forests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J Day.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Unsurprising attracting awards attention, The Pacific is a ten-part series set in the midst of World War II, that follows the actions of three US Marines In the Pacific Theatre Of War. It’s a series not a million miles away from its spiritual predecessor, Band Of Brothers, which is understandable given the crossover of creative talent.

Yet The Pacific is still a show with an identity of its own. It boasts the same sky-high production values of Band Of Brothers, but it also has a broader canvas, and a slightly slower pace to it. It’s absorbing drama, though, and the standard of it is kept high right throughout the ten-episode run. During that time, it takes in many key events of the time, and presents them with staggering confidence and strength.

All of this, of course, makes you hope that the high definition transfer can do all of this justice. Fortunately, the news here is good. Few television shows have been treated to anywhere near the love that The Pacific has been in its 1080p transfer, and matched by surround sound work that’d put many blockbuster movies to shame,

Is it Band Of Brothers 2? Absolutely not. Instead, The Pacific is a wonderful drama series in its own right, and one well worth picking up. --Jon Foster

A spectacular series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2020

Verified Purchase

Pacific is compulsive viewing, so get some beer and crisps in and be prepared for the long haul. You won't want to wait between episodes and who needs sleep anyway?.

Had it come out before, the quite unbeatable, Band of Brothers, another creation by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks, it would have set the standard for such a mini series.

Following the progress of 1st, 5th, and 7th, regiments of the US 1st Marine Division as they fought the Japanese army in Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, Pacific lacks the cohesion of the Band of Brothers series and seems more of a loose joining together of these historical actions.

Conclusion: A huge and epic series, totally gripping, lacking a natural flow from episode to episode, but definately a five star success.
However: If you haven't seen this or Band of Brothers, watch Pacific first.

It appears to be a sincere tribute...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2016

Verified Purchase

This is (like Band of Brothers) obviously a produce t and as a product, it's designed to make money but it certainly
is no wham, bang, blood and guts for the sake of it war yarn. There's plenty wham and bang and blood and guts but ONLY as part of the narrative,
any sex and violence is part and parcel of the whole.
I am a real critic of war movies set in the 20th. century, mainly because I and my family served and have to say that there's nothing at all
that is over-dramatised or tasteless about THE PACIFIC or indeed BAND OF BROTHERS, it is carefully researched and there is a sincere respect held by the actors for the men and women they portray.
It's perhaps not totally appropriate to file the DVDs under 'Entertainment'... I feel it's intended to be and succeeds at being, much more.
Others who view the mini series may disagree but it is only my opinion.

Used to avoid exercise!

It made me want to know more about the war in the Pacific.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I watched this one because it was made by the same people that made Band of Brothers (one of my favourite series of all times). I was disappointed. It is good but it is not at the same level as Band of Brothers. The story is not as gripping, the acting is not as good. The main thing I take from it is that it made me curious as to why the fighting in the Pacific was so different from the fighting in Europe. And that, to me, is justification enough to watch it.

Bought this as we loved Band of Brothers and this claims to be the Pacific equivalent. Found that it did not work as well at following one central character and felt like I was playing catch up every week. This may be in that it was based on more than one book from more than one author, but felt it never quite drew you in early enough to who was who.

WWII - watch the full story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2019

Verified Purchase

While this was very good, anyone born since 5 or 10 years after WWII should watch 'The World at War' to get a full picture of the horror, death and destruction and hopefully will be determined to not let such a thing happen again.
Yet will realise that they must be willing to sacrifice themselves if necessary to overcome such evil tyranny.

Stick to Europe my brothers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Band of Brothers this is not. What it is, is an elaborate attempt to rinse and repeat the success of BoB with a few more palm trees... Sadly - given the true life stories of pacific WWII forces - none of the central characters win you over, the narrative is very one dimensional ('See Jap! Kill Jap!) and the result is much money spent for too little reward.

HBO's The Pacific

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2014

Verified Purchase

As with "Band of Brothers" I found this series difficult to get into - probably more so because the series immediately pitches into the vicious battle of Guadalcanal and there is little time to get acquainted with the characters. The third episode, set during a moment of respite in Australia, remedies this and from this point I found the series increasingly gripping.

The fragmented, and sometimes pointless, nature of the Pacific campaign means that this series is perhaps even more character driven than "Band of Brothers" with its Normandy to Germany narrative arc. In some ways this makes it easier to relate to as it focuses principally on just three marines: Leckie, Basilone and Sledge. On the other hand the brutality of the Pacific fighting, the underlying racism of the conflict and the marines culture of taking no prisoners leavens our thinking about these people and poses back to the viewer the uncomfortable question of how we would behave if we had to courage to face similar circumstances.

Consequently the series avoids jingoism and mock heroism. The combat sequences are terrifying rather than exciting and the overall tone is sorrowful rather than celebratory. It raises difficult issues and does not provide comforting answers.

It is quite simply a masterpiece.

After watching Band of brothers I was a little bit disappointed in The Pacific the 1st time around but now that I had chance to watch it again it was really quite good the action scenes are really graphic where band of brothers concentrated on the men only The Pacific gives you a little bit of insight into the background of the characters good series worth a second go
