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

Hollywood cynicism knows no bounds in this "Titanic Meets Tora! Tora! Tora!" rehash. "Pearl Harbor" was made specifically for viewers too young to remember the Oscar-winning "From Here to Eternity." The producers could have saved a fortune by reissuing director Fred Zimmerman's 1953 classic - thus sparing us three hours of bad cinema. Nearly as embarrassing as the 1982 fiasco "Inchon."

After watching this movie I thought it was pretty good going on great. Then after reading the bad reviews I think the problem is that some people in historic/war movies look SO far into history and the exact little details that may be a little different in the actual movie.
Bottom line is when making a movie you can't show everything totally realistic and perfect. If you do that it will be just another educational documentary about pearl harbor.

I really liked the way this movie was presented. It took alot of the horror out of the element and showed love and compassion in a 1000 times told story. Pearl Harbour is history. History can be embellished pretty easily, especially by Hollywood. Not to worry, you won't feel like this movie was fake. I think most people walk away seeing this time and time again. Fact this is my second copy (I think I loaned amy other one out and never got it returned!)

I love Micheal Bay's movies, this movie has crazy war scenes and a great theme song. As for the Vista Series, you are paying for a lot of behind-the-scenes footage and other kinda cool stuff.
