For all the reviewers that knock this series - I would like to see you do better.
Despite the lack of a block buster budget, this movie does a great job of recreating the horror of war. It has young actors wearing accurate uniforms firing authentic looking weapons.
Just the scene with the lines of men going over the top, to immediately be shot down, makes you realise the stupidity of it all. How some of Australia's and New Zealand's best were cut down because they wouldn't refuse an order. If only the top brass had been brave - and smart enough to stop sending them over.
This series is very underrated. I've made a point of watching it again this Anzac Day, and I want to say thank you to all involved in this production of giving us a glimpse into the hell that was Gallipoli.
