Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elete rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend.]]> Review: Incredible series - moving, exciting, horrifying & breathtaking. - Band of Brothers is the true story of Easy Company, one of the most active and important companies in the US Army during the liberation of France and the eventual invasion of Germany. It traces the various characters from beginnings in boot camp (look out for a brilliant David Schwimmer in the first feature length episode), through their time in England waiting for the big push, the terrifying brutality of D-Day, the subsequent chaos of the liberation of Normandy and the ongoing campaign in Europe. The characters remain consistent throughout, though their appearances and importance to the story ebbs and flows, sometimes waiting in the background and occasionally coming to the fore, as the series explores the multi-faceted war machine and the personal stories set within the context of this huge operation over 10 episodes lasting at least an hour each. Band of Brothers comes from the same people that made Saving Private Ryan, and it exemplifies the same approach to production values. There have been no compromises made in terms of the effects, with explosions and gore pounding the camera in very visceral scenes that do not pull any punches, and are not suitable for youngsters. Equally, the visual or aural fidelity is outstanding in this bluray reproduction. There is occasional graininess to the pictures, particularly in some of the darker scenes, but these add to the gritty realism rather than detract from the polish. Overall, the bluray picture is outstanding. Of even greater note is the sound. When listened to in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound this is an amazing experience, as bullets whizz past your ears and explosions rock your sofa. There is an option to have the full, uncompressed Master HD Soundtrack whic must sound unbelievable, but unfortunately my system is not capable of playing it back, which is a shame. This is an amazing box set, and represents great value for money for what is one of the most important pieces of TV cinematography ever, in my view. The intimate stories it tells, set against such an epic and tragic background, are extremely moving, while the action set pieces are filmed with such flair that your heart rate will soar. Of particular note are early sequences in Normandy where Easy Company storm an anti-air battery, and a later sequence in which soldiers are under siege in a snowy forest, as trees literally start exploding around them. Such scenes are likely to stick in your mind for many years, as well they should. Review: A masterpiece - I'd heard fantastic things about this series. Nothing I'd heard or read though, prepared me for this. Once I'd started watching I simply couldn't stop. I watched the series back to back to back over a 3 day period and I believe I've re-watched it fully 10 or so times. The script is based on the events and real life accounts of the men of the US 101st Airborne Division's "Easy" E-Company. The direction of the series is simply superb and the CGI/ special effects and stunts are excellent and really do the job of portraying the sheer enormity and savage horror of the war. The most fantastical aspect to this series is the acting. Every performance is terrific and really brings to life each character. The main cast, before shooting, had a boot camp in which they had to get to a fitness standard to deal with the physical demands of the manoeuvres and stunts of the series, as well as carry out "ops" in character to make sure they could perform them at a realistic level. An entire generation of British actors can be seen in the series and there is no better performance from any of them than that of Damian Lewis, who plays Major Richard "Dick" Winters. In my opinion this is the greatest TV series of all time. It is essentially 10 mini movies. This is an extremely powerful, emotional and gripping piece of work that demonstrates that even in the most dire, inhospitable circumstances; in the absolute carnage, brutality and stark horror of war, the human spirit in the form of individual courage, selflessness, bravery and a collective bond between brothers, can overcome. The extras include interviews with the real Easy company soldiers and I challenge anyone to get through those and not shed a tear.

Die Edition: Karton oder Stahl? Gesehen habe ich die Serie weil ich mir die Version mit der grünen Kartonbox (ab 18) ausgeliehen hatte. Die wollte ich eigentlich auch bestellen, weil sie mir optisch einfach viel besser gefiel, auch die Serie mehr grün als grau ist. Normalerweise haben Metallboxen was, doch hier finde ich die Aufmachung der grünen Kartonschachtel mit den ewig ausfaltbaren DVD-Fächern einfach schöner, extravaganter (wenn ich schon DVDs kaufe muss die Hülle optisch schön sein :) - klarer Farbfetischismus). Lange Rede, Sammlersinn: Trotzdem kaufte ich die Metallbox, weil günstiger. Und siehe da, sie ist wesentlich ansprechender gemacht als sich hier erkennen lässt. Sieht im Gegensatz zum Karton halt wesentlich düsterer aus - der Karton ist immer noch passender ^^ - aber wenigstens schaut die Metallbox in der Realität besser als auf dem Amazonbild aus. Jeder wähle das Seine, bei mir wählte der Preis. FSK 16 oder 18? Auch hier tendierte ich erst zum Billigeren, der 16er-Box, da in der 18er-Version lediglich die dritte Folge ohne Jugendfreigabe ist (um knappe drei Minuten gekürzt, wurde hier schon geschrieben). Aber nach dem Schauen - ich hatte vorher gesehen, dass sie die einzige ab 18 ist - dachte ich, was war daran bitte blutiger als in den restlichen Folgen? Ich vermute es wurden irgendwo 2cm Wunde zu viel gezeigt, oder die Menge grausamer Szenen in dieser Episode fiel ins Gewicht, sodass das Limit knapp überschritten wurde - aber in den restlichen, ab 16 freigegebenen Folgen ist weder an Menge noch an Intensität weniger zu sehen. Schade. Ich denke hätte ich die FSK 18 Version noch nicht gesehen gehabt hätte ich aufgrund des Preises und weil nur zwei Minuten fehlen zu FSK 16 gegriffen. Aber da ich keinen anderen Schnitt der Folge haben möchte (die außerdem einen der für mich interessantesten Charaktäre beleuchtet und auch nicht zu lang ist) kaufte ich doch diese Version - die Hochstufung ist unnötig. 2. Der Inhalt: Die Serie hält alles. Geschickte Erzählung, Charaktertiefe, schauspielerisch sehr gute Leistung (enorm im Schnitt!), Spannung, Atmosphäre, Witz, unglaubliche Ästhetik - außerhalb der Gefechte - und sehr gute Darstellung der Gefechte - wenn gekämpft wird. Allgemein ergreifende Darstellung, wahnsinns Schinken! Die Drehbücher der Folgen sind sehr geschickt geschrieben. Sie laufen nach dem Schema in jeder Folge auf einen Charakter, meist ein Anderer als zuvor, einzugehen, sodass die Truppe aus vielen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet wird. Und es funktioniert. So ist das Drehbuch auch dem jeweiligen Charakter angepasst. Beispielsweise kritisierte mal jemand die siebte Folge - Hauptperson ist Sergeant "Lip" Lipton - da sehr viel Monolog aus dem Off von "Lip" erzählt wird, aber das passte einfach zu ihm. Einerseits nachdenklich, andererseits einen Tick "schlicht" usw. ... Teilweise sind die Drehbücher richtig genial gestrickt, besonders Episode fünf überraschte mich, aber ich will nichts vorweg nehmen - in allen Folgen findet sich eine sehr vielschichtige, ausgeklügelte "Zuschauerführung". Manchmal ist lästig, dass die Namen bei zig uniformierten Stahlhelmträgern einfach nicht hängen bleiben, passt aber auch zur Kriegsdarstellung, finde ich. Außerdem war es in allen bisher gesehenen Kriegsfilmen krasser, es stößt bei "BoB" kaum auf. Oder andere Momente oder Entwicklungen, die nicht gerade zu Genuss führen, wie die langen Wintergefechte, bieten dadurch (ihre Visualisierung, Erzählweise) Schnittfläche, werden überzeugend rübergebracht. Selbst die achte Folge, die mich am wenigsten ansprach - empfand sie als ein wenig gezogen, wie ein neues Kapitel einer sehr langen Geschichte wirkend - stellt Stimmung und Situation des Geschehens einfach sehr gut dar. Nicht einmal Patriotismus ist zu dick drinn. Aus Sicht einer amerikanischen Einheit sehr realistisch - und dabei auch extrem hinterleuchtend und kritisch (!) - dargestellt: Eine verhältnismäßig außergewöhnlich ganzheitliche, facettenreiche, teils grausam ergreifende Perspektive der Kriegsdarstellung. Der Einsatz der Veteranen-Interviews jeweils zu Beginn der Episoden zog mich auch in seinen Bann: Irgendwie bekommt man da noch mehr Gefühl für Gebrochenheit durch Krieg. Will sagen, in dieser Serie trägt fast alles zur Qualität bei. Ach ja, der Soundtrack überraschte mich ebenfalls positiv: Wenn auch nicht immer Augenhöhe mit John Williams gegeben war, so war doch mit der Zeit festzustellen dass die Filmmusik überzeugend qualitativ ist, sehr sogar. Noch beim zweiten Schauen hauten mich manche Themen regelrecht um, als ich sie nochmal etwas differenzierter von den [ebenso guten] Szenen genoss. Und ich bekomme die "Main Themes" schon seit dem Schauen der ersten Folgen nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Von "The Pacific" kenne ich nur die ersten beiden Folgen und zumindest die waren um Welten schlechter, bzw. BoB um Welten besser. :) Eventuell nimmt Band of Brothers den Platz von "Der Soldat James Ryan" (zu lange her, muss ihn nochmal schauen) neben "Der schmale Grad" (auch extrem zu empfehlen) unter den Kriegsfilmen, die ich am besten finde, ein. Ließe man unter den Tisch fallen, dass Band of Brothers als Miniserie nunmal andere Ambitionen, Maßstäbe und Dimensionen als ein einziger Spielfilm hat, wäre Soldat James Ryan auf jeden Fall unterlegen. So ist der Vergleich schwierig. Der Besitz lohnt sich klar. Unabhängig davon ob man das Genre favourisiert oder nicht, wer diese Serie nicht sieht, verpasst etwas. Gewaltig. ## Frequently Bought Together - Band of Brothers (Rpkg / Blu-ray) - Pacific, The (BD) [Blu-ray] - Saving Private Ryan [Blu-ray] [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/733076891-band-of-brothers-region-1](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/733076891-band-of-brothers-region-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
