The narrator does a good job of summarizing the Pacific War in a logical and chronological manner. Key details are regularly presented. For example, key ships sunk or damaged, numbers of invading forces and defenders, and the false assumptions that all kamikaze pilots were volunteers. Notably is the inclusion of first person video commentary by battle survivors. However, this documentary lacks a coherent accompanying video. Outside the veterans' videos, everything else is just a series of unrelated WWII video clips, often repeated multiple times. Examples are Korean war gun camera clips, discussing Midway battle while showing F4U Corsairs, Japanese ships cruising when discussing USN fleets, and periodic movie scenes. It is a poor effort by producers to create a worthwhile documentary.
