    For those who 'enjoy' Gettysburg (the movie and the battle), this should be an interesting addition to your film library. Actually, if you can rent it, just do that. It's a good introduction to Gettysburg for those who aren't familiar with the battle, but I think it helps to know something about the Civil War in order to appreciate the battle/movie.

    We have seen the movie twice, and this video doesn't offer much as to the actual 'making' of the movie, but it is still shows unique perspectives of the movie (as seen from historians, Ken Burns, re-enactors, etc.).

    Those who aren't deeply moved by Gettysburg might not find this worth watching. If that's the case, you probably wouldn't even be reading this review anyway. :-)
