They've digitally restored and colorized old film of actual fighting and soldiers on the front line from WWI. They digitally corrected for the jerky hand-cranked film, recreated voices and sound effects and interleaved it all with interviews of actual WWI veterans.
I got a tear in my eye just watching the trailer.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 100%. I'll need to watch this. We ALL need to watch this.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

To check for screenings of They Shall Not Grow Old near you, visit Fathom Events: https://www.fathomevents.com/events/the ... t-grow-old
The only dates so far were today and the 27th. Thankfully you have the option of watching it in 2D or 3D. I hate 3D.
Looks like it's playing right around the corner from me. Hopefully this will be eventually released on BluRay here (it's already out since the 10th in the UK for region 2).

I completely missed my opportunity to see this. Bummed out.

Saw it in a packed theater. It was amazing. There's also a 30 minute documentary at the end that shows how they made the film and that was extremely interesting.
My only complaint is that it starts in B&W for the first 10 - 15 minutes when they're talking about leading up to the war and men joining up and shipping out. It doesn't transition to color until they get to the front line. It seemed too long.
I'd keep a lookout for the US Blu-ray release.
