The HBO docudrama The Pacific starts tonight at 9pm EST.
I'm really looking forward to it.

Man the Boats, The Pacific launches tonight on HBO
- Thread starter Bloodwhiner
- Start date
Over here, I believe it's due to start at Easter on Sky Movies. I'll certainly be getting it on dvd when it comes out though
Sounds great, but I'll wait till Netflix kicks the DVDs loose in oh, six months or so.

I don't think there's anyone with a Sky subscription who hasn't been smacked over the head enough times with that information.

Indeed - They're being all evil and trying to tempt me
.So far, I think that may have been one of the only things they've advertised as a Sky Movies exclusive which is tempting for me at least. Any of the films they advertise that I fancy, I've either seen or can wait until I can get hold of it on dvd.
Oh cool, been looking forward to it and didn't realize it was on tonight.
I just recently got HBO just so I could watch this. I watched Band of Brothers again over most of last week, so I'm ready to go. 
I think the feeling of The Pacific will be different from BoB, though; instead of a whole company, the focus is only on three specific characters. I also get the feeling that this will be darker and more brutal than BoB was.

Having just watched the first installment, I think you called it right Skywalker.
This seems darker and much more introspective than BoB.

My roommates and I picked up HBO just for THE PACIFIC. And yeah, I liked the first episode of this series, but not nearly as good as the first episode of BAND OF BROTHERS. Like has been stated, its a lot more introspective, a lot darker, but I don't like the fact that we really only got to know (and by know, I mean recognize) one, maybe two of the main characters.
