Vietnam in HD Blu-ray Review

Vietnam in HD Blu-ray

This fall, A&E Entertainment is planning on bringing The History Channel's Vietnam in HD to Blu-ray. Done in a similar style to the network's acclaimed WWII in HD program and narrated by actor Michael C. Hall (Showtime's Dexter), this new documentary miniseries uses a wealth of never-before-seen color footage and archival sound clips to tell the story of thirteen individuals directly impacted by the Vietnam War.

While a full list of technical and supplemental specifications is not yet available for the two-disc Blu-ray set, the series does cover events beginning with the troop build-up in 1965 through the fall of Saigon.

Vietnam in HD is expected to street on November 15th. Click here to pre-order.

I'll be getting this one, I was really impressed with WWII in HD.

Why does Amazon say December 6th for release date? Which is it?

AeroK · 11-12-2011, 02:14 AM

Playing on H2 right now. Very gripping and graphic. Some of the footage has virtually no grain. Looks like it was shot yestreday. Day one purchase for me.

Great series. I caught most of it on air, missed a bit of it, but it's on the DVR for now.

Caught a part of this on the HC one night while channel surfing.
Very gripping, but had to go back to my football game.
Might have to pick this one up on BD.

Did you make this submission to Amazon? I think the only drawback is that Target.com doesn't offer free shipping.

I think I'll keep my pre-order with Amazon. I need to keep this to qualify for free shipping with today's order.

absolutely NOTHING is worse on a bd release imo than stretched 4:3 material.
just a complete disgrace that renders such bds unwatchable to me.

History channel should be ashamed and recall this bd immediately and do it right.
totally pathetic.

Mobe1969 · 11-29-2011, 07:01 PM

Preorder cancelled

wow, that is pathetic indeed. Might still pick it up for the price of $11, but then again maybe I/we should send the message to them that we won't buy this kinda BS....dissapointing

Definitely something they should be ashamed of. Simply unacceptable.
