Pearl Harbor (Two-Disc 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition) Description History comes alive in the unforgettable epic motion picture PEARL HARBOR, the spectacular blockbuster brought to the screen by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Astounding visual and audio effects put you at the center of the event that changed the world -- that early Sunday morning in paradise when warplanes screamed across the peaceful skies of Pearl Harbor and jolted America into World War II. This real-life tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, and personal courage focuses on the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots, Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) and Josh Hartnet (BLACK HAWK DOWN), and a beautiful, dedicated nurse, Kate Beckinsale (SERENDIPITY). PEARL HARBOR is extraordinary moviemaking -- a breathtaking reenactment of the "date which will live in infamy" and a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who lived it.

Pearl Harbor (Two-Disc 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition) customer reviews: Who wouldn't? Great service, the product was in great shape. I really just like Ben Affleck's face... and lip syncing to Faith Hill's "There You'll Be". (The only good use for Faith Hill's music...) 3-Star Rating for Visual Design Only -- Very Bad Screenplay A better Pearl Harbor attack film is 1970's Tora Tora Tora, made at a time when CGI didn't exist (and before Ben Affleck's career existed). Those filmmakers had to rely on models, matte shots, and sometimes real airplanes, ships & explosions for their special effects. Also, Tora Tora Tora takes a straightforward, almost docu-drama approach to this historical event -- no cheesy love triangle, thank heaven -- and its performances and dialogue are almost like Citizen Kane next to 2001's Pearl Harbor. What does Pearl Harbor (2001) have going for it? Very good, often thrilling, visual design -- photography, sets and mostly (I'd guess) computer-generated special effects...and not much else. The attack on Pearl Harbor is excitingly shot & edited. Otherwise I thought the equally dumb characters & dialogue from Independence Day had been digitally copied and pasted into Pearl Harbor. Just skip the pre-attack DVD chapters and watch the Japanese bomb Hawaii. Then take the disc out of your machine, do yourself a favor and watch Tora Tora Tora. You'll be glad you did. Awesome Movie, Terrific Awesome Drama, Powerful.... this is a pretty good movie. i enjoyed it very much. i recommend it to everyone Great buy!!! This product is deffinatly worth buying if you want or u like the movie, it comes with a 2 disc special edition DVD of the movie pearl harbor (the movie is split between the 2 discs), though i would like to see more behind the scenes and special features but what are you gonna do! to make up for that it comes with a National Geographic DVD that relates real life people and events to the movie pearl harbor! Then it also comes with a LARGE double sided National Geographic map, one side is the layout of the U.S. in 1943(authentic Replica*)and the other side illustrates the approach, the battle, and the attack on pearl harbor. The movie it self is a Michele Bay production and is an amazing movie! This all comes neatly in a nice leather bag Looking* (cardboard) box with a little note stating president FDR's speach to congress after the attack! I really like it and if your gonna buy it buy it like this! An insult to those who were there Fantasy is one thing but when an event of major historical significance is trivialized to fiction, I think it's a disgrace. A 60th anniversary commemorative edition? This movie is an insult to those who were actually there and the entire generation who lived through or died in WWII. It is nothing more than the producers' attempt to benefit from the anniversary of others' misfortune. Sure Ben Affleck is in the Eagle Squadron in England and is shot down over the English Channel and NOBODY knows he survived until he miraculously turns up in Pearl Harbor. Did he swim all the way? Then he and Josh Hartnett are the ONLY ones to get their planes in the air during the Japanese attack. Then we see them trying to save sailors trapped in the Arizona because, apparently, nobody else could do it. Then Affleck and Hartnett become pilots for the Doolittle Raid, in spite of the differences between flying a fighter and a bomber, not to mention flying bombers off an aircraft carrier deck. And when Hartnett dies in the Doolittle Raid, they drag his rotting carcass all the way across China with Japanese soldiers on their ass so there can be a hero's return in a coffin at Pearl Harbor? Puh-lease! Interwoven is a lame love story that has a syrupy ending. Hollywood has taken fictionalized characters and made them larger than the event on which the movie is based. Therefore, this movie flat-out sucks.
