Since my internet went out last night, I went and watched a couple DVDs, although I only finished one. So this was watched yesterday, not today.
Gettysburg: Three Days Of Destiny: The Civil War was a war which took place from 1861 until 1865. It was a war which changed the lives of everyone involved and affects the lives of those who came after. Some are inspired enough to write books and study it. Other people love to show their commitment by going to the battlefields and reenacting the events. Others like to make movies. This last one is fine if you are Ronald F. Maxwell. When you are a hobbiest or a reenactor, please conside yourself officially out of your league.
I admire that these guys tried to make a movie. I also admire the fact that they take history so seriously. What is unfortunate is the fact that they have no acting skills whatsoever and it is this which makes this film unwatchable. I literally gave up after the first fifteen minutes. It's not putrid; it's just boring.
