Negative Positive
Title: cheap sensationalism
Review: I am not a historian, so I cannot judge the historical accuracy of this production.This shows is made to be... a show. The director tries to "wow" the audience constantly. Every fact is presented to shock or surprise. So very often this comes up very, very silly: "the rifled guns used by militia had the range of 250 yards which is 3 times the range of the average shot by a modern day sniper rifle." So what? How does the maximum range compare with an average shot?I mention "cheap" and this is obvious every minute. The same animations are repeated countless of times and the show is bloated with repetitions to artificially extend the length without actually producing additional footage.The problem with this video and with so many other science or history shows released these days is the following: the producers considers us, the audience, as a bunch of easily wowed idiots with no critical thinking whatsoever. Looking at some of the 5-star reviews here, I am afraid they are right.
Is the review positive or negative?
