I,myself,am not a historical movie lover and I require a lot of action on screen to hold my attention. This movie had a decent amount of action/fighting scenes (but what do you expect with a pg rated movie?). Although I was a bit bored without the extra action, the movie hit many major points about the decision making that happened during the war. Honestly I learned many facts that I would never have known about the Battle of Gettysburg without watching it. The movie was quite accurate with dates,backgrounds,props,etc besides a few mishaps such as a few views of paved roads at different scenes and the view of an air conditioning unit at a farmhouse. The actors were amazing and showed a lot of emotion especially the actor who played as Col.Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. I wish that the actors voices were a bit louder because at many points during the movie it was very hard to hear them even with the volume on 60 and I am sure I missed many important lines because of this. Overall this movie satisfied it's purpose perfectly and the director couldn't have chosen better actors.

Gettysburg
(1993)
The movie served it's purpose well but could have been more exciting.
