Review

"The technical improvements to the film, including a new resolution that restores parts of images that were cropped away for the original TV broadcast, may be most interesting to hard-core film fans. But even casual viewers will be able to see that the remastered version of "The Civil War" is a strikingly different film from the movie that preceded it." --Washington Post

" …(The Civil War) is most likely the most significant historical documentary PBS has ever done". --The New York Times

The product seems fine , but it was obviously bounced around pretty good because the discs were all loose and pieces of the cases were rattling around as well. Sounded like broken glass. Hopefully will play okay when we try and watch them this weekend 😳🙄 would give 5 stars but waiting to see if it’s damaged

When I decided to buy the blu ray copy of Ken Burns film The Civil War, I read some of the reviews. I don't agree with the negative ones. The picture quality is very good. The border is indeed black not gray, which one reviewer was griping about. All the disks have played perfectly. The photographs used in the film are much clearer than the old dvd copy that I previously owned. This is well worth the money I paid for this set. Very satisfied. The seller was very prompt with the shipping 5 stars to them!

25 years ago I could not afford the video tapes... Now I have these, and they are better than the originals! The series is well done and all the images have been remastered. There are bonus features as well on the making of the series... The thing is, this is totally enjoyable for the civil war buff as well as the neophyte who just wants to know a bit more about the war that was so foundational to this country. I also found it to be a very balanced North/South presentation on the war... There is no Northern skew here.

I've watched this a few times on TV and always enjoyed the story and the interviews with the historians. A remarkable documentary. The stories, letters, and pictures as narrated bring a personal touch to something that happened so long ago. Decided to finally buy the Blu-ray version. This is supposed to be remastered. i don't have anything to compare it to but I'm happy with the visual quality. If you enjoy Civil War history, this is one to own.

This is so incredibly good! After watching it on the television, I couldn't wait to get my own copy and watch it again. You truly feel like you are living the Civil War, going through it all yourself. You feel every aspect and turn in the war. This movie is better than good. If you like history or the Civil War era, you have to purchase this set.

4.0 out of 5 stars New 4K restoration of Ken Burns’ “The Civil War” is let down by disappointing video quality.
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2015
Verified Purchase
In October 2015, PBS marked the 25th Anniversary of “The Civil War’s” initial broadcast with an all-new,4K restoration of Ken Burns’ masterpiece on Blu-ray disc (BD). When I first saw this BD set on Amazon.com, I quickly pre-ordered it, eagerly anticipating its arrival. When it was delivered, I immediately began watching it…

…and was almost instantly underwhelmed by what I saw. Artistically, “The Civil War” itself was as good as ever, certainly one of the best documentaries ever produced, regardless of subject matter. But technically, this BD set simply did not live up to my high expectations for it.

The quality of the video in this supposedly 4K restoration was a major disappointment. The video throughout all nine episodes was just too bright, suggesting, perhaps, misadjusted black levels. That problem was easy enough for me to fix, however; I simply adjusted the brightness level down a bit on my BD player.

But there was a bigger problem that I couldn’t fix: the sometimes overpowering graininess present in many scenes. Now, I learned a long time ago that film grain can potentially be a good thing, especially in high definition presentations. At appropriate levels, grain actually enhances resolution and gives a video presentation a wonderfully realistic, “filmic” quality. That was true for much of “The Civil War.” Unfortunately, film grain was so pronounced in many sections of the film – in both monochrome and color scenes – that it became for me a big distraction. And I could find no adjustment that would allow me to compensate for it.

It’s too bad this 25th Anniversary edition of Ken Burns’ “The Civil War” is let down by what I consider (at best) disappointing video quality. If this version of “The Civil War” had fully met my expectations, it would easily have garnered a five-star rating from me. I’m deducting one star because of the video problems. I won't lower my rating any more than that because I believe it merits least four stars, based on the overall artistic strength of the film, the first-rate audio quality (5.1 DTS-HD MA); and the many bonus features included in the set. Recommended.
