I bought this DVD as a christmas gift for my husband & now he is glued to the tv. guess I'll have to set a time limit for him so I can watch a few programs of my own.
Thank you for the good service.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome series!    January 6, 2009
M. Bell (Arlington Heights, Illinois United States)
This is a tremendous look at the fight in the pacific. There is a lot of computer generated images that some may find disquieting, however, it is the only way to tell the story. If you like world war 2, then get this set!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent show for getting kids interested in History    January 5, 2009
M. Powers (Minnesota)
When this originally aired on History Channel, my 10 year old son was glued to the TV every Friday night. He learned so much about the Enterprise and LOVED this show. He had tears in his eyes after the last episode when they scraped "The Big E". He really liked the music, the action, the CGI graphics, but the best part is he retained everything he learned. We had an opportunity to spend a Saturday afternoon with a local gentleman who was on Enterprise during WWII and he and my son really hit it off - all for the love of a ship. I just bought two copies of this series, one for my son and one for his new friend - the WWII Vet. For myself, I grew tired of seeing much of the same CGI and the constant music, but my son learned so much and became interested in other historical accounts of WWII that buying this is well worth the money.


2 out of 5 stars Good Show, Disappointing DVD Set    December 14, 2008

I'll save space and say that I agree with the other posts that laud the show for it's quality and usefulness.

Unfortunately, the DVD set is seriously flawed. TvBoxset lists the aspect ration as 1.33:1 and technically that is correct. But, just as the History Channel did with the Dogfight series, the DVDs are actually letterboxed 16:9 matted into a 4:3 frame. Why the History Channel continues to use this outmoded format for their DVD releases is a mystery. Even cheap direct to video DVD releases are in anamorphic format. I can author a disc in anamorphic format on my home PC so it can't be that hard or expensive to do.

If you have an older home theater system, this set being letterboxed may not matter to you but if you have a HDTV with your DVD player connected via HDMI, it is likely that you will not be able to watch this in other than letterbox format without lowering the resolution of your system.

Come on, History Channel, move your DVD releases into the 21st Century.

historical accuracy on a scale of nine out of ten. actual film clips intermixed with computer graphics. more care should of been taken in selecting some clips.
