During the four-hour and 1-hour civil war, there is a depiction of historical and combat events that took place. It is a realistic view of the thousands of civil war re-enactments waged by the federal army and the Northern Virginia Army. During that documentary presentation, Beckett's drawings will be highlighted in that three-day battle. Also, many letters of command officers, plans and personal reflections of combat men in a clear picture and a comprehensive look at that war, which aroused great controversy.

Ought to be seen for Jeff Daniels' performance alone.May 20, 2003
Mr. Daniels's luminous performance as the heroic colonel dominates ... half of the film. And when the actor all but disappears in Part 2, he is sorely missed.January 01, 2000
While sincerity obviously can't guarantee quality, it's still a refreshing step up from the blatant commercialism of most West Coast media projects.February 09, 2006
It's a movie that parades authenticity, but never settles on its own point of view.May 30, 2011
Wins the day by giving a detailed account of the three-day battle (for the first time in a feature film), shot on the actual locations where the events took place. [Blu-ray]January 01, 2000
The result is not without interest, but the sheer length is a ridiculous indulgence.May 28, 2004
Gettysburg succeeds as a motion picture event, and as a re-creation of a pivotal chapter of American history.October 14, 2005
Awesome telling of Civil War battle with stellar cast, set pieces.
