Rating: C --
An all-star ensemble cast consisting of the who's who of British films can't save the war epic from being a bore.

This 1969 big-budget extravaganza is noted for its realistic recreations of aerial WWII dogfights.

Surprisingly flat considering the talent involved.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 3/4 --
Succeeds in giving the general impression of a pivotal historical moment, and excels in crafting some of the most astonishing aerial-warfare sequences ever put on film. [Blu-Ray]

Rating: 1/4 --
There are so many characters we never get involved. We can't even keep them straight. The writers never solved the problem of incorporating the top-heavy special effects into their thin little plot.

Product Description:
This documentary package chronicles, in epic scope, the many and varied aspects of one of the most legendary conflicts of World War II, The Battle of Britain. It begins with a look at the battle itself, as a pair of pilots (one Allied and one Nazi) reflect on their raids in the British skies, before moving into an exploration of the conflict's impact on the London citizenry ("Battle of London"), a examination of Nazi Germany's development of weapons of mass destruction ("V.I.!"), a documentary reflection on the heroism of ordinary British citizens ("London Can Take It!"). The package then moves into a segment entitled "Attack Air" - a look at the WWII superpowers' gradual honing of attack aviation into a lethal art form - and another titled "Defenders of the Reich," about the Nazis' attempted use of the Luftwaffe to dominate the world - plans permanently upset when the Allies joined the battle for control of the European skies.
