SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

jwelsh8413 Not band of brothers, but still great. The three main characters are all phenomenal. Hits you in the gut on multiple occasions.

Amy Edwards Mini Series like The Pacific are one of a kind just like its European counterpart Band of Brothers is. They both serve a purpose. While more and more of the surviving veterans who fought both wars are leaving us to join their fallen brothers, those two are keeping their memories for the next generations to come. They are reminding us of their sacrifices, their bravery and most importantly to remind us that they went into harms way so the world can finally leave in peace again.As a great grand daughter of one of those heroes, I thank you, Steven and Tom, for serving that noble cause. We should never forget those heroes who witnessed death at each step they took, losing many of their friends and sometimes siblings while getting wounded themselves.My great grandfather never talked much about what he saw but we could feel that it's something that haunted him for the rest of his life. He didn't consider himself as a hero but just as a young man willing to do his duty. I'm so proud of him and all his brothers who fought alongside him. I miss him so much. ♥So there is no need to compare both The Pacific and Band of Brothers because they are both an amazing tribute to the ones we call the Greatest Generation. Through them, we saw the ugliness of war and how mankind can be able to display unbelievable cruelty to each other. When you see Snafu digging gold through the denture of a dead Japanese or the horrible manslaughter of a Banzai charge, it takes you to the guts and you realize how traumatizing that war was and we should fight to never allow such a bloodshed again.So thank you Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg for reminding us that terrible truth in an age where war still rages on a lesser scale but still claims lives everyday. It seems we still have much to learn.

denis888 I will now speak the simplest variant of English, only to make my point clear and precise - this 10-episode serial is very bad. The first reason, is that although it cost more than $200 ml to make, it is not clear as to where this money went. It seems to be a very poor choice to waste money on this flick. The plot is so terribly predictable and yes, we have seen all of this many times. Do we need a poor rendition of equally poor Band Of Brothers? Do we need a terribly inferior variant of Private Ryan? The casting is of a dubious merit. We do not feel any empathy for all these seemingly vapid and shallow characters. The battles are loud and they grow tiresome so quickly that one can skip them all as fast as possible. The message is clear but again, do we need to see that again? Tom Hanks made a huge misstep here and he did not deserve any praise for this third-rate formulaic flick

Mayank Agarwal I was really excited to watch the series knowing this was a Companion piece to Band of Brothers (BOB) covering the Pacific Theater of Operations during WW-2, the series covers 1st Marine Division's battles on islands such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa. As a standalone series Pacific is excellent, but BOB being there a comparison had to be made and when done I felt Pacific to be a notch lower in almost every department. It's a different series than BOB in covering more on depressing side of the war than the heroic side.The series visualizes the war from the view point of three individuals of 1st Marine from very different backgrounds, getting into their private life. Its show how normal citizens become hero, some are heroes by action during battles, some by just surviving the war and not turning into monster. A lot of time is spend away from action, an episode covers a year spent in Australia, one recovering from battle trauma, another on finding love & getting married. The series focuses more on individual emotions & bonds, frankly the time spend away from action is not entertaining as mostly it covers the gloomy side of war, the damaged soldiers & there condition. The sad part is the time spend on war also gets repetitive after a time with most of the islands being similar in nature, the jungles with its malaria, rains, heat & the unrelenting japs. The action shown in the series is more gory then heroic, the series probably sets out portray wars as grim thing and not grand stuff and is successful at it.
