3.0 out of 5 stars WARNING TO BUYERS, Dec 24 2008

By

Cannucklehead Film Addict (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Zulu Dawn (DVD)

Three warnings for potential buyers. First, this DVD is in square, old-TV format. The original film was shot in widescreen (2.35:1 ratio, so you will be missing the left and right sides of the image. Second, this particular transfer is weak, being blurry and with poor colour rendition. Third, and perhaps more serious for users of Amazon, as with other movies, vandals have been at work on the product description, replacing the actual headline actors with a string of minor bit players. Presumeably this is the work of flamer teens, but when I brought previous instances of vandalism to Amazon's attention, nothing happened. So, buyer beware: product descriptions on Amazon cannot be relied upon one hundred percent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Zulu Dawn DVD, Nov 17 2005

By

Fredwin Carr (Auburn Hill's Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zulu Dawn (DVD)

This is a great movie of the true story of the worst defeat in British history,the acting is great and the battle scenes are second to none. There are no computer added soldier's or Zulu's in this picture. The transfer is a lot better than the tape I have,but I wished that Tango Entertainment Had went the extra distance and enhanced the 16by9 widescreen picture and remastered the sound for Dolby Digital 5.1,the same problem exist's with their release of The Wild Geese.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie of true History, Feb 21 2006

By A Customer

This review is from: Zulu Dawn (DVD)

Although the motives behind the British invasion of Zululand is a painted little thin in the movie, I thoroughly enjoyed this production. The story depicts arrogance, followed by the gallantry and hopelessless of the British troops, as they are overwhelmed by the brave Zulu warriors protecting their homeland. Peter O'Toole is suberb as General Lord Chelmsford, who is depicted as responsible for the debacle. There are also beautiful vistas of Natal, South Afica. The only shortcoming ... I wished the story had continued with more details on the aftermath and effects of the defeat. The end of the battle is the end of the movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Boer War movie
I recieved my DVD new and well within the promised delivery date. The DVD Zulu Dawn is a must see prior to watching Zulu. Both movies are great to watch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice scenery, slow pace, NEEDS TO BE SUBTITLED
We missed far too much of the content because we couldn't follow the accents and there was no subtitling.
