Absolutely Fantastic

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Practically every comment on every release is just "Thanks" or "gr8 up". On occasion I'll post a review or critique of the show to let others know if it's worthwhile. I wish others would too. . . .Now then. This is a typically terrible and lazy NG/DC/HC/MC documentary: to make what ought to be--given the amount of information presented--a ten minute show last an hour, they rehash everything after each commercial break and roll the same historical video clips and lousy animations over and over again. Featured are breathless experts of dubious credentials, terribly acted "reconstructions" (with an actor who looks nothing like Hitler), and, of course, facts taken out of context, such as the first episode's implication that Rommel was forced to commit suicide because of the failure of the Atlantic Wall defenses to stop the invasion of Normandy. . .not because of the assassination plot in which he was (probably wrongly) accused of being a conspirator. Anyway, if one can stomach the numerous flaws endemic to these shitty productions, you might learn something in the few minutes of interesting content per episode. Just keep your finger near the fast forward button.

I really wanted to like this show.In each episode you get a total of maybe 15 minutes showing cool and interesting inventions, development, and history surrounding the creations of the Nazi war machine during WWII. The rest of the episode is either:Terrible CGI battles Horribly acted reenactments of some guy pretending to be Hitler yelling in German at other actors"Professional historian experts" stumbling around the country side magically finding entire wrecks of aircraft and other war memorabilia that some how hasn't been cleaned up or discovered since the 1940's (Yeah, right. The ruins of concrete buildings I understand, but an entire plane wreckage in a field? Come on.)A dozen or so painfully boring and long reminders at the end of each episode about how Germany lost the war to the allies repeated over and over and over Ad nauseam with montages of allied forces running up the beaches of Normandy and shots of Winston Churchill randomly walking around placesThis show is more of an unnecessary propaganda piece to constantly remind the viewer that Germany lost the war than it is an informative historically accurate show to watch about the curious inventions during WWII.We get it. Germany lost. We get it. The allies won. I know the victors write the history books (shows) but give it a rest. We just want to see some cool and revolutionary inventions that were created during that time period, not be shown the same shots of Omaha beach being invaded as an outro of every single episode while the historians and narrator desperately make sure the viewer knows that the Allies crushed the Nazi's.Sadly, almost every show or documentary (History channel or not) attempting to show any information about the Nazi's or Germany during WWII takes this "propaganda over informative" route. You'd be hard pressed to find any type of media or entertainment that is unbiased enough to simply admit Germany had revolutionary inventions during this time period, without also shoving the fact that they lost down your throat.

Well made.Interestingly it appears the series was commissioned by a US Company but produced in by a UK crew (due to the nature of WWII being partly in Europe I imagine).Consequently, this TV show actually has 2 names and 2 narrations.In America I believe it is called Nazi Mega Weapons with a American narration.In UK I believe it is called Nazi Mega Structures with a British narration.It's nice to have a choice of narration.The series aired on Channel 4 in the UK.

This comes across exactly like a History Channel produced show, with a combination of history, CGI, and reality TV style fake drama.A few years ago someone at the History Channel got a new computer. Suddenly all their history shows looked exactly the same, with phony computer generated tank battles, CGI plane battles, CGI ship battles, etc. This looks like it was done on the same computer. Same overly dramatic music, same need to create drama, same inability to just tell the viewers what happened and why. It's history. It has already happened. Just tell the viewers what happened, why it happened, and how it happened. If you have footage, include it. If I want to watch a fictional drama based on history I'll watch a movie. Not worthy of PBS.
