Sometimes bigger is actually better. Nearly matching the size of director Michael Bay's ego, this massive four-disc set is a veritable Pearl Harbor archive, and ironically, Bay's film remains the least interesting component. It's a purely conventional Hollywood take on the tragedy, using a clichéd love triangle between two ace pilots (Josh Hartnett, Ben Affleck) and a Pearl Harbor nurse (Kate Beckinsale) as an "intimate" means of spectacularly re-creating the attack that thrust America into World War II. The director's cut adds little to the previous DVD release, apart from authentic R-rated carnage during the Japanese raid, and minor expansion of the Hartnett-Beckinsale romance. Commentaries range from superfluous (Bay and film historian Jeanine Basinger) to highly entertaining (Ben Affleck and costars) and technically informative (primary production team), and a spirited examination of visual effects (with Bay and ILM supervisor Eric Brevig) is guaranteed to fascinate anyone interested in physical effects and CGI. A broad "making of" documentary is noteworthy for one-time viewing, while abundant historical records make this a valuable compilation of definitive materials. The History Channel's "One Hour over Tokyo" and "Unsung Heroes of Pearl Harbor" provide depth that Bay's movie lacks, and Charles Kiselyak's interactive timeline is arguably the finest feature included, providing an in-depth historical perspective on U.S.-Japan relations. Even a brief reenactment of a Pearl Harbor nurse's journal is moving in a way that Bay's film can only try to be, while the "Interactive Attack Sequence" provides a multifaceted exploration of the entire production process (a highly educational feature for aspiring filmmakers). All in all, these four discs offer an admirable balance between Bay's technically impressive but ill-conceived epic and a thorough, fitting tribute to those who endured hell on that fateful Sunday in 1941. --Jeff Shannon

 Great Movie !!!!! February 5, 2010
Scott J. Adelstein (New York)
Great movie that un-covers the bombing raid that had been classified over Japan for many years and just now more and more facts are comlng out on how the US new that the Japanese fleet was going to hit Pearl Harbar, sound formula ( 911) .
This movie will bring a tear to your eye during the bombing and during the sence when all the men were trapped.
Think of the Hundreds that were trapped the next time you start your Japanese import.
Great seller. Very Responsive! February 1, 2010
S. Shelton
Original DVD had a couple of 'glitches'. Seller was quick to replace with another DVD that had no issues. Would do business with this seller again.
Thanks.

Janice (Ocala, FL)
This is great entertainment combined with a realistic peek back into our nation's history. Great acting and a wonderfully romantic movie, but exciting enough for the viewers who prefer great action. The air-fight scenes are fantastic -- especially with surround sound.

P. Goodman (upstate New York)
This film makes one who cares anything for our veterans and history ill. Emphasis was not placed on the attack, but on ridiculous romantic relationships. Who wants to see a movie with Ben A. anyway?
Pearl Harbor January 7, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
On a sleepy Sunday morning in December as children played and families prayed, squadrons of Japanese war planes screamed across the skies of a Hawaiian paradise and launched a surprise attack on the U.S. armed forces at Pearl Harbor--the infamous day that jolted America from peaceful isolationism to total war and altered the course of world history. The story focuses on the life changing events surrounding December 7, 1941 and the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots--one from the U.S. Army Air Corps, the other from the British Royal Air Force--and a beautiful dedicated nurse, with whom both of them fall in love. It is a tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, personal courage and overwhelming love set against a backdrop of wartime action. This movie is a blockbuster entertainment that has passion, valor and tremendous action.
