This movie was definitely one to show off the Blu-Ray format, but some corporate genius decided not to pay MS royalties for the use of VC-1, and they went with MPEG2 again on PH. Unless you have the sharpness dialed down on your set, or a 720p display blocking can be seen on this title pretty easily. If you're not sensitive to it then you're lucky. It comes through looking almost like a second layer of grain, but not the very fine grain of good film we're used to. I know some films are intentionally grainy, but rather than error diffusion (like real grain) this movie exhibits patterned grain. It is an artifact of MPEG2 block in motion.

Titles released on Blu-Ray in VC1 encoding have proven how much better they can look. Why won't they maximize the potential of the format already?

This movie is very enjoyable in plot and special effects. But, unfortunately the video transfer was poorly done in Blu-ray. If you already have standard DVD version, save your money.

The SQ and PQ is simply amazing. Worth paying and collecting. One of my treasured few.

This movie should only be viewed on blu ray, full 1080P with a surround sound system. You can really feel the impacts of the bombing and gunfire on surround sound. This movie was awesome. It speaks of how the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and would bait the U.S. into WWII. But before that, a group of pilots would return the favor with their own bombing attacks on the Japanese. Seeing all those U.S. sailors running for their lives when they were being attacked is truly scary. Much respect to the men and women of the armed forces.

I love this movie! When I saw it on blu-ray it seriously took my breath away. If you want great picture and sound then please get this blu-ray.
All the features that are on the two disk dvd is on the blu-ray. If you love this movie then I know you will love it even more on blu-ray.

Great movie. Had this on DVD for many years and I am so glad to finally be able to watch it on Blu-Ray.

The poor picture quality has been addressed elsewhere, but my major gripe is the lack of subtitles. People who are deaf or those of us who have hearing loss due to age can't really enjoy this movie. What a shame.

Great price for this blue-ray. I absolutely love this movie! I am so happy that I purchased it for this price. Thank you so much!

Its not a full true story but Hollywood has to spice things up to make their money! I enjoy this movie everytime I watch it. Killing and romance in one.

Didn't care much for the lovey dovey stuff but the special effects are immaculate. Love it on my 240hz tv!
