DVD Reviews of Battle 360: The Bloody Battle of Guadalcanal
DVD Review: Good but could have been better
Summary: 4 Stars
In telling the story of the Big E, an over-reliance on compouter-generated imagery (CGI) is quite evident and often annoying. There are lots of archival sources for combat video which could have been and should have been used. The graphics utilized are done so repetitiously as well. Individual CGI sequences however are done well and get the point across cartoon-like.
On the positive side, the story of the Big E's actions are clearly described with a fair amount of detail. Daily life on board the carrier, armaments, weapons are dealt with often in an abbreviated style. Comparisons of Japanese and American weaponry and tactics are present but sparsely explained. The relationships between these differences and the resultant tactical choices are sketched but could have been expanded.
The benefit of this 1 disc out-take is to give an introduction to the entire Battle 360 series which ran on the History Channel. If you like it, you would probably like the entire series, and the price of the whole series isn't much more than this one DVD offering. On the other hand, there is a lot of filler in each episode (I have also watched the entire series which unfortunately suffers the same flaws of this single DVD)
