Perhaps much more important than Jackson’s other contributions to cinema form. Yes the visual chicanery is enlightening, but it’s the sound design that’s enveloping - interviews are masterfully outlined to elicit memory long repressed. We often say, “Thank you for your sacrifice” like it’s some physical loss, but instead what is sacrificed is experience - others did this, so we don’t have to. Film brings us close enough to appreciate that loss, and know it shouldn’t be repeated.

As nice it was to see colorized footage, the restoration work didn't always look very good (and sometimes made it fell less, rather than more, real). I also wished the film had emphasized certain moments more, and frequently I felt that just showing the person that was talking at the moment would have made a stronger emotional point than the scenes that were being commented on. Still, several captivating scenes, particularly the encounters with the German POWs or their welcome back at home.

Brings to mind James Morrow's words: "That 'there are no atheists in foxholes' isn't an argument against atheism, it's an argument against foxholes".

An admirable and worthy project, but as with most areas of technology, the work done here will probably be able to be done better and cheaper in a few years time. But there's a good deal of merit in the footage and interviews, if you're a war buff, this should go on your short list.

Peter Jackson and his team didn't try to create a comprehensive doc about WW1, but rather than shallow, I'd say it's focused; one reads that 10M soldiers died in the War, and the old quip "a million is a statistic" comes to mind. They Shall Not Grow Old is here to remind us that those were 10 million tragedies. Plus the recording of "Mademoiselle from Armentières" is a gift that keeps on giving.

Adding sound and restorated visuals to old timey WW1 footage does an impressive job to bring the terrifying feeling of war to life. Probably the best way to "experience" the horror of WW1.

Just like The Irishman, the technology is imperfect, rendering some uncanny valley here, but the intention that's conveyed makes it work anyway. Better than most war movies because the voice-over here is so revealing of just about the whole gamut of the war for these young men, who speak of its hardships, enjoyments, and whether or not it positively shaped them.

Impressive that Peter Jackson was able to create a narrative from these old clips. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the colorization/smoothing process, but my god those soldier's eyes were zombiesque. If you stared into them for too long, you felt your soul slowly leave your body. Also, the sterotypes are true....just get a look at those British teeth. The horror.....the horror.

Far better use of Jackson's technical tricks than the entire Tolkien hexalogy. There are probably more insightful, well-rounded, informative WWI documentaries, but none that will simply put you in the place of witnesses long gone better than this - old men, trying to remember what it was like, trying to not just repeat the old cliches. This is about as far back as our modern, technology-dependent memory can take us, and Jackson almost makes it seem like no time has passed.

men who were there take us back, without interference from narration or text. They tell their tale. They tell us of their adolescent eagerness to fight, the camaraderie, the fear, the blunt violence. They look back, still not sure why we have to fight, yet sure that they became better men for surviving it. The various voices coalesce into a single person, someone you feel you know by the end -- the boy who went to fight in the Great War, now an old man teaching you what he learned.

Did WWI footage need colorization? Like Jackson’s infamous 48fps Hobbit, the answer is probably no. This, however, is so fascinating and so honest that I could have watched hours more in spite of the often uncanny-valley-of-it-all. Jackson focuses on the faces before anything else and it is the personal stories that take the forefront. Pretty incredible.

Jackson's editing of the interviews to make the soldiers sound pro-war is almost as sickening as the war itself. Regardless, the 7 or 8 minutes they have of colorized video footage is really quite amazing and well worth a look.
