Movie Reviews of The History Channel Presents Shootout! - Seasons 1 and 2
Movie Review: From the perspective of a weapons person.
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, I like this series and I don't feel ripped off. At least, not entirely. Why? Because I apparently know far more about weapons than I'd like to admit, and this series added nothing to my gun acumen. The cover of the series shows a guy aiming a combat ready M4 carbine, and sure enough, you'll see all sorts of weapons, but that's about it. So, if you're a bit geeky about weapons, then this series might leave you empty. That said, the video has good coverage of engagements, big and small. Much like a 6 O'clock sports anchor, they have the advantage of hindsight and only need to call the shots based on records, history, and interviews. Use of 3D animation, and reenactments mixed with live footage are their tools. Live interviews really builds drama, some of which are gripping, and all are heartfelt. Maybe they should have focused on the interviews. Either way, war is a senseless way to prove your point, but when fights happen, this describes the devastation at a personal level.
Summary of The History Channel Presents Shootout! - Seasons 1 and 2
