Only For Diehard Civil War Buffs |
If you are interested in learning about the Gettysburg battle, then this dvd is worth taking a look. However, don't expect alot of passion from the "actors" because most of the acting is so very poor, that it is barely watchable.
More shocking than the cold and dull lines were the appearance of some of the "actors". I am not a fan of the "Lost Cause", but I was stunned and disappointed to see General James Longstreet and General Robert E. Lee as paunchy and portly. Both men were physically fit and the "actors" that protrayed them certainly were NOT!
The movie is okay for its cheap price, but anything over $10.00 will be a rip off. I would only recommend "Gettysburg Three Days To Destiny" to the most diehard Civil War buffs.

Gettsburg: Three Days of Destiny |
|
This film war fair because it only review the battle of Gettsburg from a reenactor's viewpoint. |

I was There |

I was one of the reenactors during this event and for those of you who though the reenactors looked uninterested or whatever; the reason behind that is because there were more Confederates than federals. Plus the location this event was at was different than previous Gettysburg events. For cryin out loud there was a stream in the middle of the field where Pickett's Charge occurred. Not to mention that half of THAT field was burned by pyro so we had to march around it in column of fours. I havents seen this docudrama or whatever but i was at the event where this was filmed and the event itself was a farce. |

Disappointed |
|
I bought this and several other Gettysburg related books and films to help prep my son for a trip to the battlefield this spring. I did not have high expectations, as the previous reviews were so mixed. But I was still disappointed. Horrible acting and editing aside (I understood that this was filmed during the reinactment and these were not professional actors) the film was impossible to follow. The timeline and details of the battle were unclear as was the layout of the ground. The narrative was often difficult to understand and there were endless scenes of men moving across smoky fields without any explanation. Try another film if you are trying to understand more about what happened at Gettysburg. |
