| Georgia StraightJanet SmithFew films have detailed the logistics behind the complex, elaborately plotted-out mission better than this. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe real strength of this movie is that it shows the massive scope of the triumph while retaining an intimate sense of the sacrifices it demanded. |
| User ReviewMercedes DExcellent documentary. If you would like your children to understand the importance of D-day, but without the psychological scars of most war movies, this is the one. The film illustrates (literally) military strategy and movements, with sketches and moving maps, but keeps your attention. I highly recommend everyone see it. |
| User ReviewJohn BWell done as they brought to life the horrors of WWII and the hard bought battles that these men & women endured as everyday was a survival for them and the real life veterans telling the stories of each battle |
| User ReviewPaige HYou'll feel a catch on your throat... |
| User ReviewJames MOf all the Imax films that I've seen, this one was the least interesting. The visuals were fair and they included too many "sand drawings" and the 3D pop up book made me feel like an elementary school student. I thought thought that they really missed the mark on this one. |
| User ReviewGrant TThe 3D didn't enhance the film at all. I thought the story was bland and boring which didn't do much to keep the audience involved. |
