GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Tomfrost The Series starts with an astonishing shot of New York Grand Central Station passing from 2009 to 1939. It also shows magnificent shots of the most famous WWII campaigns like the Attack on Pearl Harbor, D-Day, War at the Pacific. Really great shots. I think the main title maybe miss the point, but it is the second one is accurate. We do not really have high-definition quality of WWII footage, but the best I have ever seen. I think it is impossible to improve the quality of this kind of material to real HD, because of its source material, which of poorly quality itself. For me the creators of this series restored footage on WWII at a really high level. I think the color is its what this series makes successful. This type of documentary is a new look of WWII, because of color footage and lost and unseen films. Comparing to another good documentary "World at War" I prefer "WWII in HD" because of its original new style of showing WWII. The first one shows more details of the campaigns but the second one is the essence of the war. Series shows War simultaneously through interesting real-life stories and historical lessons with convincing, brutal footage supported by color. The stories are convincing and intensified by really interesting testimonies of the war veterans. From this series I found out lots of interesting things about Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the longest serving American President. I did not know this figure almost at all. I think he passed to history by becoming the greatest American president of all time. I highly recommend this series. It is a memorable and haunting series about WWII, so I gave it maximum rating.

Kristaps Ozolins ...if only we took away politics. This is just another propaganda material, which justify some allied war crimes and demonize Germans and Japanese. It's understandable when you make such movies in war time, but it's not understandable when you make them 50 years after. In reality there is no bad or good people, there is no evil ones or holy ones, there are just people, some are worse, some are better. OK, if we put politics away, then there is left a bunch of good and not so good quality WWII war footage. It's very educational and impressive to watch. You can get sneak peak into real WWII world, not Hollywood-made one. Movie is made chronologically and starts with Guadalcanal operation, some intro is made before. Movie tells the story of American version of WWII - Pacific front, North Africa, Italy and France, so if you are more interested in eastern front and events before 7th December of 1941, this movie is not for you. I can't give this movie more than 3 stars because of massive propaganda. If you are easily influenced, don't watch it, otherwise get ready for some brainwashing and good luck!

mattmccleary I think people are generally misunderstanding that just because the film footage is not as clear or detailed as recent films that this is not "high definition". It is a high definition transfer of the footage we have of the war. This is just about as good as we are going to get this footage. A good complaint would be that this footage would generally be properly displayed in a 1.33:1 format, but people are unfairly complaining of the video quality of the film footage.The work they did here is generally fantastic, even if it is not in the correct aspect ratio.

giavonna0308 (This is only like my second or third time writing a comment on a film/series, sorry if it is confusing.) I did not expect much out of this series just because I have seen so much on World War II, but I gave it a chance and to my surprise it was very good. The information was basic knowledge but the film was good. I usually stick to books so there was a lot of film that I have never seen before. My mother, who does not know much about History watched this with me and did learn a lot but not so much to where the information was confusing to her. I think the best show out of the 10 episode series is "Glory and Guts." All in all this was a good series. I am going to buy it and add it to my collection.
