Movie Reviews of Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: A salute to soldiers everywhere; one of the best on Blu-Ray
Summary: 5 Stars
This is, hands-down, one of the best war stories ever made. I've been waiting a long time for this to come to Blu-Ray, and it was worth the wait. With the right TV, the right sound system, mild hearing loss and several irritated neighbors later, you can emerge from some of the scenes shaking and twitchy, as if you'd witnessed it first hand.
I can't express enough how much you walk away from this series respecting these men, what they did, and the entire generation and armed forces. "Wow" is about the best way to put it.
If you have a Blu-Ray player and enjoy military movies, this is the series you're going to be pulling from when you want to leave your friends in awe.
Note to all you guys out there - my wife enjoyed watching this series, and her best friend enjoys watching it with her fiancee. This isn't just a shoot 'em up. There's a lot of drama in here, and some fantastic character build-up. This may be your best shot to get your significant other to watch a war movie with you, and what better one to watch that a series which masterfully articulates the bravery, suffering, sense of duty, and just "doing what needed to be done" of this time period.
Movie Review: Great on DVD, even BETTER on Blu Ray!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even if you have the DVD set...get the Blu Ray version. The DVD extras are cool but the Blu Ray extras take it to a whole new level. While playing the episodes you can either have video commentary from Easy Company which really adds to the scenes (great if you have seen the episodes multiple times...) -or- you can have a field guide timeline that displays facts at certain points...really informative and awesome supplement to the episodes. I have seen the series several times so the new features really add to the experience, they also fill in gaps that make certain scenes make complete sense.
Great gift - I recieved the DVD set for Christmas in 2003 and was my cherished present for years. Got the Blu Ray set for Christmas 2008 and renewed that feeling!
Really, I don't think a series has come out since Band of Brothers that has captured my attention like this has. I watched all 10 episodes over the course of a week with my Grandpa who is a WWII vet...he couldn't wait for me to get home so we could watch another episode. He stated he had not seen a movie that captured the authenticity of the War like Band of Brothers.
Movie Review: Best War Series/Movie Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Band of Brothers is a wonderfully written and acted series. I really enjoy war movies (I'm not sure why), and this one kept me on the edge of my seat for all ten episodes. I just could not stop watching it.
The story takes place during World War II. It follows a group of soldiers from boot camp, through the end of the war. The story is very detailed and intricate. I like how the characters develop and how attached to them I become; which brings heartache when one is killed during the course of the series. And I absolutely love how the actual survivors from Easy Company introduce the episodes and provide commentary.
Another thing I loved about the DVDs/blu-rays themselves are maps and ranks. You can view maps of each episode, and track Easy Company's movement throughout the world and what battles happened where. You can also view the various Army ranks and what it takes to get the rank.
The blu-ray quality is superb. The picture is clear and crisp, and the audio will blow you away. Especially if you have surround sound, you can hear the bullets whizzing by and the mortars all around.
Movie Review: Best series I've ever watched !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this on DVD, not Blu-Ray.
I usually don't like watching a series because I don't want to be constantly glued to the tube.
To say I was mesmerized with this production would be an understatement. I have never watched TV this long in one day before but I watched the entire series (I believe it is 11 1/2 hours long) on ONE SUNDAY. Went to work tired the next day because I didn't finish until midnight.
When you see the actual men that were portrayed in the movie at the end it really strikes home.
I asked my son who has his own place if he wanted to watch it after I described it to him. He had already heard a great deal about it. After a month I asked him why he hadn't watched it yet. He and his friends are waiting until they also can devote an entire day to it - not my idea - their own.
I decided to let him keep it and get myself another copy. When I saw that Amazon had the Blu-Ray version for the same price that I paid for the DVD copy I ordered it right away.
Hmmm.... Maybe this Sunday. And this time in Blu-Ray!
Movie Review: Great Picture and Sound
Summary: 5 Stars
Band of Brothers is a true story told by the survivors of easy company of the 101st airborne during World War 2. It begins in boot camp, and it spans all the way to the end of war, when the men hear about Japan's surrender.
This blu-ray version has great picture, it almost has the same quality as planet earth but what this blu-ray version of the series shines in, is the sound. Mind you, I never owned the dvd version but I have never heard such sound quality from any other dvd/blu-ray I own. The explosions sound very real as does the bullet whizzing too. Also, in the 1-2 parts when the troopers are in the c47 planes, it sounds just like you're in the airplane together with them.
Overall this series has it all for the action/war film fanatic. Even though it has great picture/sound quality, I wouldn't recommend if you own the dvd version already. However, if you saw it on tv, or you've never seen it but you like action films or war movies, then this is definitely a must have. The price is also a steal since I bet you won't find another blu-ray set (of such quality) of 6 discs for [...].
