Customer Reviews of National Geographic's Ultimate WWII Collection
NO captions or subtitles???!!! I can't find captions or subtitles anywhere on this DVD, and I've looked a number of times. There's no caption symbol or mention of them on the DVD cover, so I can only assume they're just not there. This is a particular shame given that the DVD is otherwise so excellent, and this is inexcusable in this day and age. I would give the content 5 stars, but I have to mark my rating down to 3 for this apparent omission.<

>On a different note, I also wish the DVD came with an update on the search for the minisubs, which I find intriguing. The inside view of the Arizona was amazing, with the officer's desk, papers and items still perfectly in place, was striking.
Best birthday gift for Dad, ever.
I gave Pearl Harbour to my Dad last week for his 74th birthday, and when I spoke to my mum this evening he was watching it again, for eighth time. Quoting my father: "I see something different every time I watch it!" and, " This will be a collectors item in ten years!". It's fun buying him things he likes.
History Worth Watching
I got this video as a part of a three DVD National Geographic set of WWII related topics. What interested me the most about this video was the combination of original film with elderly veterans giving a first person account of what they experienced at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. There is a third aspect to this DVD having to do with a modern underwater search for a sunken Japanese mini-sub. There were times that this story was somewhat interesting but mostly it interfered with the rest of the program. As I understand it, this search was the reason that the National Geographic took on this project. If so, I guess this documentary had to give that search SOME coverage. However, I would have preferred more of the interviews and the the original film of the attack and its' aftermath. History is presented well in "Pearl Harbor; Legacy of Attack" and it is aided by the excellent narration of Tom Brokaw. Overall I give this DVD a "4.5" but it could have been a "5".
