review by: brysie date: 2007-03-29 rating:

One for you DVD list.
A great DVD on the Battle of Balaclava with a brief history why the war was happening and ending on the Charge of the Light Brigade. The history is well written and very informative including the Charge of the Heavy Brigade and the Thin Red Line (although it does not include the controversy about whether the Turkish Soldiers helped or not) and includes words from soldiers who fought during the war.

The maps and graphics were very enjoyable but I found the music distracting from the whole DVD as you have to re-watch it in order to forget the music which is distracting as well. I also thought the quiz was good but it does not take the same format as most other DVDs of the same type. The gallery was not really worth putting in as they took some of the film in this part and the maps of the battle and uniforms of the brigades involved would have been better.

Never the less it is well worth buying and is worth the money but maybe it could have ended in the whole war rather than just the charge.
