    I bought this last year for my father for christmas and he loved it . Very much deserves the 9.6 IMDB rateing .

      I have always preferred the original (remastered or otherwise) documentaries, they are so much more informative than ones made these days, in general ofcorse, there are still standouts.

    Isn't this series from the 70s? If so then it would only be at 576i so BD would be pointless (except for less discs).

    • Shaw on 25/06/2012 - 11:06

      70s, yes. 576i and pointless BD, I am unsure, sorry. I guess it depends what "Digitally restored and remastered" means.

      Not necessarily. If the series was filmed on film (70's, probably) and the "remaster" used that film stock to re-capture the footage in HD then it's possible this is a true HD remaster.

      However, if they just ran the old VHS tapes through a VCR and recorded them on to a computer and post process upscaled them then yes, complete waste of time/money. Only way to be sure is to read reviews and tech details of the remaster.

      (I'm oversimplifying the process to illustrate a point, I hope some A/V nerd doesn't rip me a new one)

      Short video about how they restored/remastered it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWgwd3NQh5w

    Best ww2 doco ever

  • daydream on 25/06/2012 - 11:41

    Brilliant series with some amazing interviews with historical figures.

  • UFO on 25/06/2012 - 12:15

    Definitely best WW2 doco out there.

    It was on recently late at night on free to air as a series. I missed a few and now I can watch it all in order.

    Terrific doco, very accurate.

    Note the reviews - they have fiddled the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9.
    Deal breaker for me…

  • Buzzer on 01/07/2012 - 15:55

    They have made a 4:3 fit ona 16:9 screen, chopping off top and bottom of frame….not for me!
