Movie Reviews of Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: description of collection
Summary: 5 Stars
blu-ray case is noticeably smaller than dvd case. thin metal case without any sharp edges. when case is opened and inside is pulled, all discs are attached to one long roll except for the last (6th disc), which is stationary to the bottom of the case. the last disc is the special features disc, which not all the contents are in 1080p resolution, rather, some segments in the special features are in 480 resolution.
from the beginning to end, there will be parts of the film where there are heavy grains in the picture, especially during intense "in your face" action sequences. the grains are intentional to keep the mood of the time period and the gritty documentary feel. 2 parts per disc with total of 10 parts equals 5 discs + special features 6th disc. each disc features picture in picture commentary from the original surviving members of EASY COMPANY as well as a neat feature called "interative field guide". the IFG is simply a feature where there is a time table line on the bottom of the screen and moves along with the movie to give an in-depth educational points of interest to let YOU the viewer choose an icon and educate yourself on anything from army ranks to old WWII film clips. very intuitive and intelligent feature. kudos to HBO.
Movie Review: Band of Brothers is what film was made for
Summary: 5 Stars
I rarely review things on Amazon, but Band of Brothers was so excellent, I just had to put in my two cents. So many war epics go for either the "realism" route (i.e. violent battles) or what I call the "philosophical" route, essentially making it seem as though war is a classroom where soldiers debate the pros and cons of what they are doing. But Band of Brothers doesn't fall into either of those traps.
Essentially, by the end, you will feel like a member of Easy Company. You'll understand them as people, share in their fears and their hopes for what the end of the war can be, and have the utmost respect for the sacrifices they made. You'll laugh at the occasional shenanigans they pull to keep themselves sane, while you'll also feel the incredible sorrow when one of their brethren falls.
Band of Brothers might be the best piece of work ever committed to film. I realize that is an incredibly bold statement, but it will be well worth your time to see if you agree. Every moment of this miniseries is incredibly well done--including the opening credits, which I was happy to sit through before each episode.
I highly recommend the Blu-ray version. The detail in the pictures is simply amazing.
Movie Review: Great Series!
Summary: 5 Stars
Band of Brothers is a must have for any Blu Ray collection. I am about half way through the series and have fully enjoyed each episode, and cannot wait to watch the next one. I am taking my time with it because I want it to last. First off, the price was excellent. I purchased it for $39.99 with free shipping, the day it was on sale other customers were stating that they bought it for $31.99 and were saying $39.99 was too much. $39.99 is still a great price considering it is about eighty bucks at best buy, not to mention it is the best audio and video I have seen on Blu Ray yet.People talk about how Planet Earth is really good as well, I own them both and BOB is much better. The only gripe I could make was during the first couple episodes it was difficult to keep track of the soldiers during the initial battle scenes....I was also a little distracted watching the first couple of episodes, so it is probably just me. The additional features are great with commentary from the real members of Easy Company. I never knew the series was a true story, which makes it even better. You will not be disappointed and will be hooked and mesmerized instantly. I would probably wait until the price drops to about forty dollars again, I am sure it will.Movie Review: Must have if you are into War stories or Blu-Ray or just good stuffs
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my 2nd contribution to my Blu-ray collect (1st being BBC Ed Planet Earth) and I cant tell you how proud I am to be an owner of the Band of Brothers!
First impression the tin box was in perfect condition with embossed letters on it. as you open up the box there will be 6 disc which comes out in accordion style along with some really nicely designed photos from the scenes in B.o.B.
In a nutshell, if you like Saving Private Ryan, you will love every bit about B.o.B. because it is an even more detailed version of S.P.R. What I liked about B.o.B. is that you get to not only feel how it's like behind the front line the world's biggest war, but you also get to see many different aspect of the war. How the group break apart when led by an inferior leader, or what it was like to be a combat medic in the front line, or how everyone mentally gets through the pressure from being attacked, or even the reality of how fragile life really is during the time of war.
The image quality is unforgettable especially at the last few episodes :D
Overall it's very very well done piece. I wished it was longer than 10 episodes but I think I can say that to all the good things in life :)
Movie Review: Band of Brothers - Blu-ray
Summary: 5 Stars
I had purchased this set originally when it came out and had a little difficulty with one of the discs so I had planned to replace the set at some point. The series itself is the quintessential story of a company of men going from basic training to combat during World War II. The best as far as I'm concerned. When my wife and I recently bought a Blu-ray theater system I decided I might start replacing a few discs but assumed they would probably be just Sci-Fi. I was glad I happen to spot this series while looking through the Blu-ray section. I couldn't beleive how reasonably priced this set was on Amazon. I immediately ordered it and the quality is astounding. You won't believe how real the picture and sound are even though they were remarkable with the original set. It truly looks like there is depth to the picture and if you have surround speakers it will blow you away. Superb quality DVDs with many extras including interviews and commentary by members of Easy Company. Don't miss out on this set if you enjoy dramas and if you have a friend or family member that enjoys war movies, I strongly urge you to get it for them. If you enjoy this be sure to catch "Saving Private Ryan".
