Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Two - The War Years
Movie Review: Worth The Price
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank You Amazon!!!!!
I finally recieved my copy of YIJ Vol 2. I must admit, the price is steep, but well worth it! I could not wait for the price to go down, as I have been waiting for this volume with great enthusiasm. I have read about other customers complaining about the shoddy packaging by Paramount for this volume in the series and I must admit, it could have been better, but Amazon shipped it well secured and wrapped in such a way that no discs shifted in shipment and "broke loose". I have had other DVD's from other sources break loose in shipment from their packaging and get damaged. Amazon took the extra caution in shrinkwrapping this volume and packing it very securely. Not a single DVD was loose or scratched in shipment. Thank you for the extra care!!!! Ninety dollars is alot, but well worth it. YIJ volume 2 should be watched, as WWI is forgotten. Yes, some critics complain that Indy could not have possibly met all of those famous people, but the war scenes are terribly graphic and correct. Just watch this well done series and enjoy. Isn't that what Mr. Lucas wanted?
If this series sparks just a small interest in WWI,then congratulations!!!
Thank you again, Amazon for packing the rather lame packaging from Paramount so carefully!
Sicerely,
V. Genova
Summary of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Two - The War Years
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 12/18/2007 Rating: NrGeorge Lucas? The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume Two, The War Years continues the extraordinary narrative, historical, and production achievements found in Volume One. As with the first series, each feature-length program (re-editing material from the original, one-hour broadcasts to smooth out the chronology of Jones? experiences as a child and young man) resembles a theatrical experience more than episodic television. Each drama is remarkably rich in layered detail, shedding light on major events, figures, and ideas from a pivotal era in world history. Where Volume One largely focused on the early childhood of Indiana Jones as he traveled the world in the company of his parents, meeting the likes of Picasso, Tolstoy, Freud, and T.E. Lawrence, Volume Two is exclusively concerned with Jones? experiences during World War I. This time, Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery, introduced in the final episodes of Volume One) is serving in the infantry of the Belgian army under an assumed name, eventually rising in rank from corporal to captain and becoming a spy after paying extensive, nightmarish dues on the war?s front line in Europe. The series captures some of the horror of World War I?s most infamous battles, directly inserting Jones into the thick of the action at Verdun, the Somme, the Middle East, and elsewhere. In time, Jones is repeatedly recruited to become a secret agent, going undercover in Austria to help forge a separate peace between the last Habsburg emperor and the allies, and playing a crucial part in the survival of British and Australian forces crossing a merciless desert. Along the way, Indy befriends Bolsheviks preparing for the Russian Revolution, has a romance with Mata Hari, attempts a prison break with Charles de Gaulle, and has a wonderful encounter with Albert Schweitzer. As with Volume One, this follow-up box set includes an astonishing number of excellent special features, primarily dynamic documentaries about many of the real-life people and incidents introduced in the stories. These extras provide much depth and analysis without being at all dry; a creative history teacher would do well to incorporate them (and, for that matter, the shows themselves) in a class about the 20th century. --Tom Keogh
