Peter Jackson and crew did an incredible job of restoring this 100 year old footage, cleaning up the image and improving resolution, converting it all to 24fps, adding voices to the soldiers with realistic sounding explosions. The widescreen and color add to the entertainment value. This movie puts you right in the middle. It's too bad its not on 3d blu-ray.

Extremely Powerful Film, & without question the best computer enhanced cleanup of old film coupled with what would be realistic sound available today. They certainly got rid of the Charlie Chaplain style of movement, & gave this old film some modern character. The voice overs match peoples lips perfectly on the color film. I have a 7.1 stereo surround sound in my living room that rattles things when bombs, & shells go off. Beautifully done how they transition from old black & white footage into color about 25 minutes into the film. watched it 4 times already! My relatives are also as fascinated with as I am!

The picture quality is stunning! Do not miss this. You really have no idea what these people had to live through, this picture will really give you a reality check! It amazes me what can be done with old black and white footage. The restored film and added sound looks as though it was filmed yesterday. I bought the BlueRay version. It was money well spent.
