Only get this movie on blu ray Sep 02, 2010
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.

Don't waste your money Aug 10, 2010
I bought this because I saw the aircraft used in the movie being wrapped up to be sent to Hawaii. The only thing true in this movie is that the Japanese did attack Pearl Harbor. While the graphics were fair, I still can't understand how the director can think the viewer is that stupid as to think a Japanese pilot would fly between hangers during the Pearl attack AND they would be shot at by airplanes and ships shooting down, into the Americans that were on the other side of the airplane.
Plus, the "heros" of the story end up crash-landing together after the Doolittle raid. Yes this is a chick-flick for those who have no idea of history or reality.

Story of Pearl Harbor- NO! Chick Flick - Yes! Apr 21, 2010
This is not a war movie! This is a chick flick! I wish I could give it -5 stars!!!

I bought this movie based on other reviews which made it appear to be a great movie about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It's not! It really is a love story. The Japanese just happen to attack during this love story. This movie is crap! It's not even a good chick flick.

I'm angry that I was duped into spending my time and money on this tripe! I think I'll use it for target practice!

Great Movie, but could be better. Feb 13, 2010
First of all, This movie is great, and even better on bluray. As far as entertainment goes its 5 stars but i gave this movie 4 stars because there was too much love story telling more than the actual pearl harbor story. It was a bit distracting when the blood is rushing and flowing in other parts of my body besides my brain, I like the love story, but i feel it overpowered the historical attack on pearl harbor, the Movie is called "Pearl Harbor" so I feel it should focus more on the historical facts more than the love story. Also near the end, when the airforce plans a counter attack, it would be nice to see more war and fighting action, but instead it was a sad ending.
I am a history major at uc irvine and i learned in one of my classes that there was more depth in why japan attacked pearl harbor. It would be nice if this movie could explain that, but there are too many details to go into as far as japan/usa politics,I had to buy 2 textbooks for that class which covered a lot of material, it was interesting, but also a challenge to read that much. the movie would be way too long, but i wouldn't mind. Basically like the saying goes," a good defense is a good offense". That is basically why japan attacked pearl harbor. But the movie didn't clearly show the reasons for why pearl harbor was attacked, it just jumped straight into: japan attacking pearl harbor and when and where are they going to strike? It would be more interesting to show a story with a wider spectrum of the attack on pearl harbor start to finish, and not focus so much on the love story. As for the love story,
I thought kate beckinsale was awesome, but the only problem is that she is so darn good looking that it actually distracted me from focusing on the movie. That is why i give this movie 4 stars because im afraid the may have made a mistake casting such a sexy lady to play the role. shes so darn sexy that I just focus about her and not the movie.
Anyway it would have been 5 stars if they did not use such a gorgeous hot sexy woman, i was a little hot and bothered, but for those who arent as perverted as i am, this bluray is an awesome 5 stars for those who do not easily get distracted by beautiful women.

One of the worst war movies ever. Jan 08, 2010
This has to be one of the worst war movies ever made. I felt very angry after watching it. It takes some effort to take an important historical event like this and turn it into a routine soap opera. Bay doesn't even have the talent to create his own soap opera plot either. He has to "borrow" from Titanic. Talk about a no-talent director. This movie is not interested in teaching anything about the Pear Harbor attack or honoring those who fought and died there. It is only interested in shoving the hokey love story, Ben Affleck, Josh Harnett and Kate Bekinsale down your throat. I wouldn't have been bothered with a love story if it was actually good and not completely implausible. I have nothing against good love stories or even war love stories. However, the defeat at Peal Harbor is the wrong venue for this. This was a very influential and emotional event in our history. Obviously, Michael Bay has no conception or appreciation for this. To him, it's just another thing that happened that he can try and make money off of. It is a total insult to every American WWII vet (hero) involved in the attack. The casting was horrible. Affleck and Hartnet are terrible as Air Force pilots. Although, they were dealing with a very bad script. The movie goes out of it's way to make Affleck into a super hero. He flies fighters over Britain, he flies a fighter in the Air Force, he flies a bomber, he pulls sailors out of the water, he single handedly guns down a platoon of Japanese soldiers, he gives blood for wounded sailors, and he barn storms out of a hanger during the attack and shoots down Japanese planes. Wow, all this and no cape. What a joke. If you want to watch a real movie about Pearl Harbor, see Tora Tora Tora. If you want to see a good love story, see Titanic.
