Summary: Best Civil War Movie Ever!
Comment: The movie was so enthralling that I had to buy and read the book "Killer Angels" that it is based on. The movie was 4 wonderful hours itself, and had so many special features that gave me a couple more hours to enjoy.
I watched it first from the rental store, but after seeing it, I had to own it. Tom Berenger and Jeff Daniels were fantastic in their roles.
I have watched it three times alone and a couple more with friends and family. This is a four-star movie!

Summary: DVD Sound Compared To VHS
Comment: I love this movie to death, in spite of all the flaws mentioned in the reviews found herein. I personally feel we're lucky the producer made this film at all, and that it turned out as well as it did. But I will not dwell on the movie content, and focus instead on a technical point that keeps me from giving this DVD 5 stars. While the DVD picture is superb compared to the washed-out look of the VHS tape, the audio has been re-mastered, and in the new soundtrack the former bold crack of the guns is now quite muddy and muted. The original VHS soundtrack is still available on the DVD as an option, but this is only useful if you speak French. I much prefer the original VHS mix myself, and believe a 5-star DVD should give viewers a choice of soundtracks - all of of which would be in their own language. While I will definitely keep this DVD in my collection, I have also purchased a back-up set of tapes for the long-haul.

Summary: A Classic Piece of American and Film History
Comment: Gettysburg is a stunning film with strong characterization, amazing action and enthralling epic atmosphere. Jeff Daniels does his best film work ever as the Colonel from Maine who does a desperate bayonet charge to stop the Confederate onslaught. That single event held the line. The other actors are stellar, including Tom Berenger, Sam Elliott, and Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee. I especially liked Richard Jordan (Confederate general Lewis A. Armistead) whose dearest friend was in the Union Army. The heartbreak that Jordan conveys in wanting to see his friend, separated by this war is so palpable that it's just heart renching.
This film is a Must See for anyone interested in America and American History.

Summary: Keep it with your copy of "Killer Angels".
Comment:
Unique and yet lock step with the book it was based on. Both simply fabulous.
