Gods and Generals Extended Director's Cut Blu-ray Review

I have seen on several different locations that the 6 hour extended Edition of Gods & Generals would be released in April as well as the Extended Edition of Gettysburg.

Has anyone else heard or seen anything on these two (with some inaccuracies) excellent movies?

Now where or not these will be on Blu-ray is anyone's guess. However as some of you may know this year we are entering the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War and if there was any shot of the Extended or Director's Cut of these two films seeing the light of day. I would think it would be over the next three to four years.

I have also seen where the Ken Burn's: The Civil War series from PBS will be re-released again in the near future. However again I haven't heard if it will be on Blu-ray. I think this would make the 3rd release of this series so I would hope this one would be on Blu-ray.

Gettysburg / Gods and Generals Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray
On the 4th of July

I agree i would love to see these both released, they are my number 1 all time favorite civil war film, another one i would like to see on bluray is Cold Mountain.

I heard out the release as a director's cut for Gods and Generals just nothing on Gettysburg.

If Ken Burns releases Civil War on Bluray i will Buy it.

Gods and Generals is already available on Bluray.

WorkShed · 01-24-2011, 11:49 AM

The MPAA recently rated an extended cut of Gods and Generals so, yes, an extended cut Blu-ray IS in the works.

EDIT: The rating is PG-13 but I have no idea how long it is.

Extended Gods & Generals? The original version was long enough. The worst part about it is that Gods & Generals did not make enough money for Maxwell to make The Last Full Measure, but you never know maybe he'll still tackle it in the future.

Crimson King · 01-24-2011, 02:02 PM

Me being a Civil War buff, I will definately be getting these!

Strange that they released G&G on blu but not Gettysburg?, very strange

Not that many Civil War films on blu at the momo:

as of now I own the following Civil War related blus:

Gods and Generals
Gone With The Wind (Scarlett Edition)
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Ride With The Devil (Criterion)
Glory
Gangs Of New York (Remastered)
How The West Was Won
Dances With Wolves (extended version)
The Colt

and one documentary blu:

Civil War Battlefields (not the best doc on the subject, but well worth the $2.37 I payed for it at Borders.com, plus it's the only Civil War doc on blu as of my writing this)

I also have many othet DVD's and book on the subject, way to many to mention!

PS, I would love to take part in a Civil War reenactment in the future, that would be intersting, educational, and fun all the same time!

Maxwell is already working on his next CW Film.

The only good thing I see possibly coming out of this would be seeing the Battle of Franklin on film which had a larger, bloodier and deadlier assault on Union lines than Picket's Charge did at Gettysburg.

true, but I thought the worst part of the film, was that the filmmakers couldn't make a battle scene remotely interesting or visually exciting.

even at the very end of the credits there is mention of the third film forthcoming - which we all know never happened.

I bought these and stupidly sold them before opening them. I got all my money back but regret it because I'm dying to watch these now

HD Goofnut · 10-24-2011, 09:02 PM

Uploaded this from Gettysburg yesterday.

ckirsch98 · 11-08-2011, 08:21 PM

I got the Digibook Versions for a belated Fathers day present this year. ARe these releases a better version? Gettysburg is one of my all time favorite movies.

Gardenofstone10 · 05-19-2013, 07:58 PM

Seeing this boxset now on sale for like 30 bucks....such a good deal (even though it's about the same price as individually). Picking that up for sure this week

Just remember that the box does not have the films in digibooks.

Sancho Panza · 05-19-2013, 10:16 PM

I paid $55.99 for mine, over 2 years ago.

I'm up for Gettysburg because of my fond memories of it. My 8th grade class trip was to Gettysburg, and on the bus ride home we watched the movie, which I bought the VHS at the gift shop. 5 or 6 of us were mesmerized by it, while everyone else complained. It was really great watching it so soon after we had walked through the battle sites/ locations.

The running time on the extended Gods and Generals scares the living crap out of me. I'll need to watch G&G to see what I think of it in it's theatrically form, especially after reading all of the polarizing reviews that it has.

Walts Ghost · 02-25-2011, 06:09 AM

I love the artwork for the movies. I can't wait to have these in my collection!
