I read Bob Lefleur's take on this set. He was there, in the real battle and we mere mortals can only imagine the Hell they went through during WWII. My dad and uncle were there. They had some very amusing stories about the great group of GI's they fought with, but some very grim details about the actual war. So, I want to thank Bob Lefleur and all the vet's that were there. Without them, things might be much different, in this world today. As for the Band of Brother's set? It is THE most realistic series about WWII ever produced. If you want to see how it really was, get this set, as it is awesome to watch.

There's already enough reviews out there regarding this epic mini-series, so I won't go into details here. I will mainly focus on this Blu-ray package instead.

My cousin owned the DVD version of Band of Brothers and I borrowed it, watched it, and loved it when it first released many years ago. So when the Blu-ray version released, I decided to buy it and watch it ASAP. I was immediately reminded of the super-high production value, special effects, quality acting, story-telling, realism, attention to details, engrossing sound, and emotional aspects that made this mini-series so good.

The Blu-ray version is definitely worth the purchase for anyone wanting to experience one of the best mini-series ever filmed and arguably, the best on-screen depiction of World War II... ever. I was amazed at the picture quality and sound. Most Parts (episodes) have highly-detailed, crisp, and clear images. The only instance where I found some "graininess" was during the bombardment Easy Company received during Part 7: The Breaking Point. However, this was probably an intended artistic decision choice made by the director and not an issue with the film itself. I personally didn't find it a problem, but I thought I should mention it here. Besides those scenes, most of the episode had near-perfect PQ on a 1080p display.

The sound is just awesome. I don't have a good enough sound system to take advantage of the DTS-HD Master Audio feature, but I do have a system that supports regular DTS audio. You will feel like you're actually there on the battlefield with Easy Company if you turn up the volume, trust me.

The only minor complaint I have is the fact that it takes a while to load up each disc. You have to sit through all the warnings, brief "HBO Video" introduction (can't skip), and loading session each and every time you pop a disc in. I haven't timed it, but I estimate that it takes roughly 2 minutes to actually view the first episode each disc (2 episodes per disc, 10 episodes total).

The metallic box it comes packaged in is sturdy, just like the DVD version. It is slightly smaller and shaped slightly differently compared to the DVD box, but is very similar to it.

Overall, this is a must-buy product for anyone that likes this genre. If you own a Blu-ray player, you need to get your hands on this boxed set NOW.

First of all let me just say that i have never seen Band of brothers before so I'm not a blind fanboy or anything like that , and because I'm not an american so i thought this mini series is not going to be interesting to me , However this mini series is highly praised everywhere and it have 9.6 score on IMDB plus it won the Golden Globe award and Emmy as the BEST series made for TV , so i said to myself lets give it try

So far i have seen only 5 episodes on the BLU-RAY and i have to say that the picture quality is insanely good i own over 30 Blu ray movies and series like Planet Earth, Band of brothers picture quality beat every movie i have ever seen ,yes even Disney Blu rays like pirates, the colors is perfect and its crystal clear, its just UNREAL how good its, i was really surprised i didn't expect TV series picture quality to beat Movies picture quality (Its simply the Best picture quality so far on blu ray to me, but sometimes picture quality jump from crystal clear to "extremely" Grainy on some parts which is intended i believe)

Blu-ray.com reviewed the series today also and gave the picture quality 5/5 and everything else 5/5 kinda XD

I have only seen 5 episodes so far! and i don't want it to end ;( that's why i'm watching it slowly, to be honest i have always hated and avoided World war Movies because to me they are boring as hell, i have heard the story god damn million time in books/video games and Hollywood movies even school books and most of the times each version of the movie is different so you don't know which version is real or accurate about what happened in the world war 2 because a lot of movie directors change events and make them different to sell tickets, but with band of brothers the men who went to the war speaks to you and tell you there REAL story "there is picture in picture mode where you can watch the movie and small screen like 1/4 of the TV pop and the Real people who was at the event speaks and its optional"

Band of brothers is a masterpiece its Story,Characters,Script, Events,Sound is too good plus its very emotional story.... i don't know where to start about this series it just blow my mind from its goodness

I hope this review was helpful to you
