DVD Reviews of Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Great, Great, Great
Summary: 5 Stars

Can I say more, this was a great mini-series I just wished I had HBO at the time it first came out. But that's okay, now I have a copy of my own on Blu-ray.

DVD Review: AWESOME visual effects in Blu-Ray
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best mini-series I have ever seen. I have watched this at least 4-5 times and never get tired of it. I would highly recommend it to any and every person.

DVD Review: poor video sound synchronization
Summary: 1 Stars

Had original Band of Brothers--great--5 stars, best war movie ever made. My blu ray edition had poor video sound synchronization---voices did not synchronize with speech on screen--terrible effect--like a poorly dubbed movie. Suspect a manufacturing defect. Not an issue with my Blu-ray player--it works great with all my other movies. I returned Blu-ray version.

DVD 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.

DVD Review: Great Video
Summary: 5 Stars

I had To Send It Back When Playing it On A Blu ray I Hav A 5.1 Dolby Digital Input Via Fiber. When The Movie Starts Ther Is No Audio At All You have To Use RCA Cables To Hear The Sound. It works Pefect Up Until The Movie Starts Then The Sound disapears. I Wanted to use it inThe Digital 5.1 Mode Through The Fiber Cable. But It Did Not Work Right. may If i I Had A 7.1 Digital Dolby With DTS It may Have i dont know for Sure. Great Movie Anyway.

Description of Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]

Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Run time: 705 minutes Rating: Nr
An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details (such as the rattle of a plane as the paratroopers wait to leap, or a flower in the buttonhole of a German soldier) and procedures (from military tactics to the workings of bureaucratic hierarchies). The scope of this miniseries (10 episodes, plus an actual documentary filled with interviews with surviving veterans) allows not only a thoroughness impossible in a two-hour movie, but also captures the wide range of responses to the stress and trauma of war--fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion. The result is a realism that makes both simplistic judgments and jingoistic enthusiasm impossible; the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. The writing, directing, and acting are superb throughout. The cast is largely unknown, emphasizing the team of actors as a whole unit, much like the regiment; Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston play the central roles of two officers with grit and intelligence. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment. --Bret Fetzer
