Pearl Harbor is a film that was so reviled by serious critics, so poorly reviewed, and with what normally would have been career damaging performances, that it may seem odd showing up here.
But the purpose of these short pieces is not to denigrate the films, but rather to illuminate those that have made sparkling transitions to DVD.
That said, and no matter what one may think of the film, Disney's BD disc is a superlative example of what the format can deliver both visual and sonic terms -- and even better for those who can fully decode the uncompressed audio.
The sheer audacity of the 40 minutes or so of pyrotechnics which encompass the attack sequence can easily stand as a gorgeous demo for the format.
For those who like the film, you're in luck.
For those who don't, this is a BD disc of such high quality that you may wish to have it on your shelf simply to show off your system.
Recommended for BD disc quality.
