"The Pacific" Miniseries

Saw "The Pacific" miniseries last fortnight and having enjoyed the previous Spielberg/Hanks production ("Band of Brothers") my expectations were pretty high. I enjoyed the series very much, I loved the visuals, the camera work, breathtaking shots - especially during the Peleilu and Okinawa Invasion. The shots were intricate and detailed, graphic, fast yet extremely sharp and clear. That's not very common in productions like this. Guess the advance of the modern visual technology adds to this kind of production a great deal. I was really happy that the traditional Spielberg's dull and predictable "family values" plot was not the big part of the story and was minimized to a nice story of the main character's struggle to take part in, what he perceived, a glorified and worthy war. Loved "The Pacific" for its characters and for their struggles during The Pacific invasion. Loved the altering character and perception of main characters and the story of John Basilone. I loved it so much that having watched all ten episodes in couple days I already miss the characters and the opportunity to witness their days in mud, rain, heat and blood.
