Anyone else planning to see this? It looks like it's going be in theaters for one day.

Man, that looks good. Might be worth the 100 mile drive to Coeur d'Alene to see it.

Wow... I'd be up for that, and had better start looking into it if it's a one day run. I do detest theaters though.

I’m in. Old footage demonstrating how grunts act like grunts, regardless of the era or the country, always strikes a chord with me.

It was available for streaming for free over in UK, and as a result, I've seen it available for download (in HD) in several places.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast on WWI is great. It's about 24 hours of listening.

Or the YouTube channel “the Great War” is really good too.

I want to see this but will wait until it hits netflix or some other venue where I can see it at home.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I like to avoid those invisible foreign objects that get in my eyes at times and cause them to leak.

Saw the trailer last night on you tube. Looking forward to seeing it.

"Blueprint for Armageddon" is fantastic. I have a few hours left of this.

I haven't finished it yet just due to time, but yes, it is very very good. You really see everyone there as a real person who lived and died. It's pretty incredible.
Anyone who can't see it in the theater, PM me...

Bought some tickets to take my father-in-law (an aging Vietnam vet) to the show tomorrow. Looking forward to it for multiple reasons.

It's really good and very intense in some places.

Late to the party, but x2. I?m halfway after a strong recommendation from a buddy.

Chad, were you able to get a DVD/BD that is not Region 2? Everywhere I look won't play here and I don't want to use up one of my DVD drive region changes, but may have to.

I have it as an MP4/MKV file, so you can watch it right on the computer/stream it/burn it/whatever!

Awesome! I use Make MKV for digitizing my DVD collection and serve it from a Network Attached Storage server at home using Plex, and Kodi on Raspberry PI's and Amazon TV's, do you have a similar setup? It is so much better not having to flip through DVD's and BluRays to find a movie I want to watch!

That was worth watching. The 20 or so minutes after the credits were at least as interesting as the movie itself (to me).

Yup close to the same, I have Plex running on my FreeNAS box, got a couple Roku's and a 4k Apple TV, in addition to watching on phone, tablet, my laptop when I'm in the office, whatever!

Saw it yesterday in the theater with some friends. Wasn't as blown away as I'd hope with the hype, but damned if it wasn't an amazing technical achievement. I'd very much recommend checking it out if you have a chance.

Frankly, I really wish Jackson would have chosen this topic to build into a huge, multi-hour trilogy instead of The Hobbit.
