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.

The Pacific

I bought The Pacific DVD set on the basis of the Speilberg/Hanks' previous offering, 'The Band of Brothers'. I suspect that 'The Band of Brothers' was an act too hard to follow, because 'Pacific' was a sore disappointment. The dialogue was very difficult to follow, the battle scenes were, by comparison to 'The Band of Brothers', very poor and the use of CGI, in some instances very bad. I did not detect the hand of Speilberg much throughout the series, and I suspect his name was used mostly as a selling point. Overall, a poor performance of a subject just crying out to be told.

The Pacific - Boxed set

Once again Spielberg has created a superb piece or story telling. The gritty realism - this being based on true events - makes you realise how lucky we are now. We owe a lot to these guys. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Watch it and don't let such loss of life occur again.

Poignant & Epic

The directors move in a different direction from Band of Brothers with this series, focusing more on the lives and relationships of a small number of Marines, rather than the action of the platoon/company itself. It brings about new thoughts on the war and how relationships were made and broken thanks to it. A well-made series, especially enjoyable for people interested in WWII and its events.
