Description of Pearl Harbor [Blu-ray]:
To call Pearl Harbor a throwback to old-time war movies is something of an understatement. Director Michael Bay's epic take on the bombing that brought the United States into World War II hijacks every war movie situation and cliché (some affectionate, some stale) you've ever seen and gives them a shiny, glossy spin until the whole movie practically gleams. Planes glisten, water sparkles, trees beckon--and Bay's re-creation of the bombing itself, a 30-minute sequence that's tightly choreographed and amazingly photographed, sets the action movie bar up quite a few notches. And in updating the classic war film, Bay and screenwriter Randall Wallace (Braveheart) use that old plot standby, the love triangle--this time, it's between two pilots (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett) and a nurse (Kate Beckinsale) who find themselves stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, during what they thought would be a nice, sunny tour of duty. Then, of course, history intervened.
br/> For the first 90 minutes of the movie, Affleck and Beckinsale find a nice, appealing chemistry that plays on his strengths as a movie star and hers as a serious actress--he gives her glamour, she gives him smarts. Their truncated romance--the beginning of which is told in flashback so we can get right to the point where he has to leave her to go to England--works, thanks to their charm. They're no Kate and Leo from Titanic (a strategy the film strives hard toward), but they're pretty darn adorable in their own right. Hartnett, as the not entirely unwelcome third wheel, squints bravely but makes only a slight dent in the film. Everyone else in Pearl Harbor--from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s brave navy seaman to Jon Voight's able impersonation of FDR--is pretty much a glorified walk-on, taking a backseat to the pyrotechnics and action sequences that keep the three-hour film in fairly constant motion. But when that action does take hold, Pearl Harbor is quite a thrilling ride. --Mark Englehart

Pearl Harbor [Blu-ray] Reviews:
See this is why we should be able to go to negitive stars!
2009-12-17 - It dosn't matter what they do with this movie. Unless they burn all of them it will still be the worst historical play on a US tradgity ever made. People who like this hours and hours of tripe really need to think about they're lives. You can't be to intellegent if this cast seems to good, or fair or the story is realistic to you. This is one of the worst movies I had to sit through. This movie drags, the story is false and could be more fake(the pathetic love story) and the lousy acting all make this a terrible movie. My one star dosn't even account the this takes three and half hours of your life. I would give this negitive five stars! And counting the two days worth of additional footage it should be banned! The cast should never work again for this.

An enjoyable war-romance movie
2009-12-16 - I always love this movie on DVD and the Blue-Ray quality just make it perfect! The resolution and sound are a lot better, the war scenes feel so real.

Too long, love story was stupid
2009-12-15 - Baisically the movie was too long and the love story was tacked on and unnecessary. My grandfather was at Pearl Harbor (bugler West Virginia), he talked about it all the time, he saw the movie and he agreed with me. He liked the battle scenes, but thought the love story was dumb too. I think we both wanted (and I'm sure I'm not alone on this one) an updated version of "Tora, Tora, Tora" I think Michael Bay would have been better off doing that, and having the Doolittle raid at the end rather than the lame love story. Make it more like "Saving Private Ryan" and less like "the Notebook" It was supposed to be a war movie not a chick flick! Oh well it is what it is.

Special effects extravaganza with a great love story to boot.
2009-06-21 - If you want action this movie has some serious action. Will you have to fast forward a bunch to get to it? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes, great action.

If you want a great and unique love story this movie has it. Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett play best buddy airmen who vie for the same women's (Kate Beckinsale) affection. Without giving too much away through a strange twist of fate they both end up with the girl at different times and it seems like everything is falling apart when the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor. From then on out the movie takes a quick detour from Romance to Action and does so abruptly and amazingly. This movie makes you feel like you are there at one of the most horrific days of American history. The buddies of course must work together to save their friends and in doing so reach an understanding with one another before they both have to leave the girl they love to attack Japan with none other than General James Doolittle.

In the end this becomes a very touching thought out story that I enjoyed tremendously. There are a few side stories that seem forced, but overall the cast is fun and the story is excellent. The Blu-ray is excellent for both sound and picture.


Great movie and great video quality
2009-05-18 - If your a fan of the film and are looking for the HD experience then rest assured it delivers. Even if you haven't seen the film, chances are you'll enjoy it.
