The Pacific is an epic 10-part miniseries that delivers a realistic portrait of
WWII's Pacific Theatre as seen through the intertwined odysseys of three U.S.
Marines - Robert Leckie, John Basilone and Eugene Sledge. The extraordinary
experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash
with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the
impenetrable rain forests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral
strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the
killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J
Day. The viewer will be immersed in combat through the intimate perspective of
this diverse, relatable group of men pushed to the limit in battle both
physically and psychologically against a relentless enemy unlike any encountered
before.
HBO, perhaps more than any other studio to date, has made a habit of delivering
absolutely essential television releases. For
The Pacific, five BD-50
discs have been devoted to the miniseries' ten episodes, meaning each entry has
been given ample room to breathe. The potent, wonderfully proficient result is a
fantastic, arguably perfect 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that, barring one
inherent issue, is sure to leave plenty of watery eyes in its wake. Framed with
blazing white skies, gorgeous green jungles and rich, inky shadows, the
miniseries' bloody battlefields and war-torn theater of operations is a
staggering sight to behold. Dirt explodes around advancing Marines, blood
spatters across the stone-strewn ground, explosions send shards of shrapnel
flying and gunfire reduces dense foliage to powder. The color and clarity of the
hotly contrasted chaos is nothing short of amazing and fine detail is as
riveting as it is revealing. Magnificently resolved textures bring every
sweat-streaked face and grimy uniform to startling life, razor-wire edges are
crisp and clean (without any significant ringing to report), skintones are
lifelike and precisely saturated, daytime delineation is impeccable and nary a
brightly lit scene goes by without something of note to offer its wide-eyed
audience.
Read that last sentence carefully though and you'll guess what
comes next. Sequences that take place in the US, particularly those filmed at
night or in low-lit interiors, aren't nearly as dazzling. Detail is still
apparent, mind you, but not to the extent that it is during the sun-bleached
scenes abroad. Delineation takes a hit, contrast is a bit flat and primaries are
slightly muted. (The same quote-unquote shortcoming affects the moonlit battles
that take place overseas, but I found these instances were far easier to
overlook. If anything, the reduced visibility enhanced the tension and horror of
the midnight skirmishes and dropped me in the middle of the murky madness.) All
that being said, it's clear the presentation accurately reflects the intentions
of the miniseries' masterminds and the darkness, dismal as it can be, rarely
becomes a distraction. Otherwise, HBO's encode is immaculate. Artifacting,
banding, smearing, aliasing, halos, crush and aberrant noise are nowhere to be
found, and the miniseries' faint veneer of grain, though a tad uneven at times,
remains natural and unobtrusive from episode to episode. As was the case with
Band of Brothers, HBO has treated
The Pacific with tremendous
respect and honored its filmic efforts with an outstanding, true-to-its-source
presentation worthy of the most discerning videophile's high praise.
Wow. One more time: wow. As if it weren't already difficult enough to watch
The Pacific without feeling a deep, emotional connection to its fallen
heroes and steadfast soldiers, HBO's jaw-dropping, chest-splitting, hair-raising
DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track makes every bullet, every death, every
sacrifice, every act of selflessness a resonant, heart-wrenching experience. The
LFE channel bombards the listener with earthy, at-times thundering
thooms
and
booms, infusing explosions, roaring planes and blaring battleships
with profound power and presence. The weight of each sound effect, be it subtle
or earth-shaking, is convincing and intense; the impact of each rifle shot and
artillery salvo won't soon be forgotten. Likewise, rear speaker activity is bold
and arresting. Gunfire whizzes across the soundfield, rocks skitter from channel
to channel, voices cry out in the distance, wind snakes through the jungle,
waves advance up the beaches and the whole of the soundstage peppers the rear
speakers as much as the front. Through it all, directionality boasts pinpoint
accuracy and pans are as close to invisible as they come. Dialogue never wavers
in the face of the sonic storm and voices are crystal clear regardless of the
passive or aggressive nature of any particular scene. Shouts and whispers are
given equal footing, barked orders mingle perfectly with the fury and the only
lines that are consumed by the soundscape are those meant to be consumed. As it
stands, I don't have a single criticism to level against HBO's lossless mix or
the miniseries' sound design. And yet "perfection" seems like an understatement.
