I will probably watch THE PACIFIC instead. That is truly one of the best series on the war in the Pacific to never come out. Anyone here who has not seen this yet needs to do so before even thinking about this new movie.
Do you mean the 2010 HBO production?
“The Pacific” is fairly good, but why do we need to see it first?
That series doesn’t even mention, IIRC, Midway. Or Leyte Gulf. Or Coral Sea. Or the Marianas Turkey Shoot.
It’s fine for representing ground combat.
But it provides zero info about the crucial naval battles.
