GETTYSBURG (Released to Theaters USA 1993)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì 

Gettysburg provides some detail about a turning point in the American 1860s Civil War. The background scenery is outstanding. The movie shows calmness and professionalism of battle leaders as they plan next war decisions. While it is not the WOW! presentation, overall it is a suitable watch. Plan time to engage this movie as its length runs over four hours of watch time. The battles are the best part of the film.

? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Maybe. Know that the movie requires time to watch. The Battle of Gettysburg receives a sparse and superficial representation in this movie.
