They Shall Not Grow Old [Blu-ray] [2018]

This is an amazing documentary that spans pre WWI fervor of young men looking forward to chivalry and battle, to the horrors trench and mechanized warfare to the sober aftermath of European powers gone made over entangling treaties. The restoration of original film is nothing less than masterful. Stick around for Peter Jackson's commentary of how the film was made. Understanding the respect, diligence and the lengths of getting the story and the film details correct is awe inspiring. A superb film produced by a world class film maker.

This film is a living journal, not a documentary. Same director as the Lord of the Rings too. Limited availability at the retail store. No commercials, no interruptions, and never edited. I cannot find it on my online service.

A first class documentary film of the horrors and general life experiences of the British and Commonwealth forces in France during the Great War. Naration is by men who were there during the war. It gives great insight into the motivation and values of those who experienced the futility of war.Required viewing for all historians and contemporary politicians who think going to war is "fun " and without short and long term consequences.

From Peter Jackson comes this fantastic documentary highlighting footage and true stories from WWI. Much of the footage is presented in color for the first time and really takes you into the mindset of the soldiers. Recommended viewing for anyone with an interest in the subject.

One of the best movies ever made about war let alone the Great War. An amazing piece that brings the war to true life that even today is hard for recent conflicts. Should have gotten an Academy Award

What Peter Jackson and his team did is truly remarkable. Not only is the technical wizardry amazing, but it is personalized and like being there. As a Vietnam veteran I appreciated the humanness of this film. This is the standard for updating old archival films.

Amazing and, in my opinion, underrated WWI documentary. Painstakingly restored footage of troops during WWI shows the reality of who was fighting in 1917.
