This is very good documentary. It’s a 3 disk set in 1 …
Hello ,This is very good documentary. It’s a 3 disk set in 1 container , but very good.Half way through disk 2 is where all the action starts , and it never stops.It’s unbelievable. I didn’t know they had video cameras in World War 1.Disk 1 gives you insight on all the European Countries , what they weretalking about , how they dressed and what led up to WAR.The way they dressed was pretty way-out , but great to look at.Put your seat belt on , because when the action starts , your goingto be in for a ride.They film everything.Bombs from cannons exploding in the trenches on top of men.They had so many cannons out there , I though they had NickCannon out there.I never saw so many cannons in a war documentary.Bodies all over the place.John Wayne could not survive this one.I didn’t make it to disk 3 yet , I’m still on disk 2.A lot of times I will rewind something to see it again.World War 1 was off the chain.Listen to me. Have patients through disk 1 to get all the insightabout the Countries associations with each other to have war ,and those crazy outfits.About 1/4 the way through disk 2 the action starts and never stop.You will be completely entertained and educated.Buy IT NOW!Thank You ,Satisfied Customer.

WWI The War To End All Wars.
I was look for some more information on WWI when I chance across WWI The War to End All Wars The DVD came in a factory seal box. The first disk I loaded I was surprise and delighted The War to End All Wars coved some information about pre WWI I didn’t know about. The narrator has a good deep voice and has a steady narration all though the DVD. The way the subject matter would fall into someone who is either in high school or the first years of collage. All and all I came feeling a little richer about the history of wars to end all wars.

I liked the episode on the air battles
I will agree with most of the other reviewers who indicated displeasure with the effort to produce this version and the low quality that resulted. I won’t bother repeating all the comments they made which were all true but I will add that often the commentary and the video seemed to be about two entirely different things. The one shining episode was the one covering air battles. I did enjoy that one and hadn’t seen the air battles covered very well in other WWI offerings.

Not bad, but far from the best. Narration is high school level.
On the plus side, this 3 DVD set has film footage and still photos that I have never seen before which adds much new visual information. This is the strongpoint of this DVD.On the negative side, the narration is sophomoric: dull, monotone and lifeless; rather like an overlong lecture from your worst history teacher. Added to this is his atrocious mispronunciation of foreign words which is highly irritating. You have to hear it to believe it but typical examples are General Petain pronounced “pitane” and the city of Liege pronounced “leej”. His butchering of German names is comical. Clearly he is reading from a script and pronounces foreign words phonetically. Not very professional.Added to the irritation is the use of classical music in the background of many of the scenes; not only do the musical selections not fit the film or the narrative, they are distracting.The story is told in more or less chronological order but there is a disconnect to the chronology which negatively affects the flow of the documentary. Keeping to one theme rather that cutting it up into smaller parts would have been better.The film footage makes this a 3 star DVD; otherwise, it would not rate more than 1 star.

Pretty Good and Different
I have several DVD series on World War One. The Complete Story of World War I, narrated by Robert Ryan is an older series and dated in some ways, but is pretty good. The more recent “The First World War,” based on historian Hew Strachan’s new work on the war, is also very good and covers some different material. This series, “WWI: The War to End All Wars” differs from the other two in some ways. That is, you can own all three and learn something different from each one. Having said that, this series could have been a lot better in many ways. The narration is so-so in that the narrator mispronounces a number of names and places. The series editor should have caught those mistakes. The music is inappropriate; sometimes it reminds me of Ken Burns’ “The War” which inexplicably used very slow jazz and other inappropriate music when describing a battle or related events. This series does the same, and it can be distracting. The theme song of this series is a fast, happy, Dixieland tune – very inappropriate for the material covered. Another weakness in the documentary that could have been a signficant strength are the interviews with several WWI veterans and some recordings of actual high-level officials (or nearly contemporaneous readings from their speeches and writings). For some odd reason, these excellent interviewees were not identified in the documentary. Sometimes you could figure out who they were from the script, but you had to listen carefully. It would have been good for the series editor to put the names of the interviewee at the bottom of the screen. If they didn’t know who was speaking, they probably could have figured it out from the script or from historians familar with these figures (one appeared in World At War also and was a staff officer in the First World War, and wrote up diaries and other narrative accounts of WWII, Sir Edward Spears). Why names were omitted from the DVD is hard to understand. Other aspects of the historical narrative that are better understood today should have been corrected, such as the myth, popularized by Barbara Tuchman, that the generals and their timetables started WWI. The documentary mentioned this, and given that it is a very new production, I would have expected this to be corrected (the origins of the war are more properly rendered in the Hew Strachan DVD, though also covered rather briefly there). Overall, this is a pretty good DVD production with a lot to recommend it. It is ashame that the editor was not much more careful with the narration and other aspects of the production. We are still waiting for the definitive ‘World At War’/’Civil War’ documentary for WWI – an enormously important event in modern history.

World War I
A nice film about World War I and I’m glad I have it for my collection of war films. We have no World War I VETERANS left in the world as the last one died in 2012. I have a long history of VETERANS in my family history and this tells part of that story.

The first world war was extremely difficult for everyone living in Europe. Finally the old empires would soon come to an end. There was to many dead for a lost cause.

This could have been better. The commentator should have been better. His French was bad, his German was bad and indeed, his English was bad. It took me a some time to figure out what the British admoralty was. His shorthand was also disconcerting. Two November instead of second etc. The quality of video was to be expected. The music was good where the full orchestra was used. However, the scenes with piano background music reminded me of the silent movies. (yes I am old enough to remember the piano players in the theaters, protected by screens because of boys like me who came armed pea shooters). In short this was somethng done on the cheap. Save your money for a better production.
