A worthy "Quest".......2007-05-05

I can't get enough of documentaries like this one. I highly recommend Bismarck to WWII history buffs out there as well as those interested in lost vessels and undersea exploration (also those Clive Custler fans out there like myself). The recreations were fantastic and having contributions from some of the actual German survivors really added depth to this top-notch production.

Another DVD worth owning for the Cameron/historical adventure enthusiast is The Lost Tomb of Jesus

review of expedition bismarck . . ........2007-03-09

modern technology meets world war II era saga. being of german descent, i've always held a fascination with the bismarck. well presented documentary -- historical facts, modern technology, involvement of actual survivors, etc. a brave ship who fought against overwhelming odds . . . AND finally good to set the record straight .... she WAS scuttled by her own crew.

If you want to know the whole journey of Bismarck better, "The Search for the Battleship Bismarck" by NG is the choice. This one is about the analysis of its sinking based on the wreck.

The animation is pretty cool and successful for the illustration. The film is more movie-style than documentary and some parts are very similar to the movie "Titanic" by James Cameron.

In my opinion, the main contribution of this film is to settle down the dispute about if the British sank or the German scuttled the Bismarck. Without this, I shall rate this film three stars.

Dear reviewers.......2006-10-18

The fact that this was an excellent documentary is beside the point after having read some of the strange reviews here. For example, Nicholas Dujmovic said how Bismarck was threatening the very lifeblood of civilization. A bit dramatic there buddy? If my memory serves me right, it was England who declared war on Germany and not the other way around. And when you said the good guys BEAT THE ODDS and sunk her, which odds were you talking about? The entire British fleet vs. one ship? Wow dude, dunno how the British did it. And stop talking about having young boys around, you're creeping me out.
As for Mr. Dilam Mattia, go watch Jerry Springer and leave Cameron alone. He's made enough money to buy a small country if he wanted to, and if his passion is to go and shoot underwater documentaries on sunken ships then more power to him.

Excellent portrayal of what REALLY happened!.......2006-06-06

If you ever truly wanted to know what happened on that tragic day that the awe inspiring Bismarck sank beneath the waves of the Atlantic ... this documentary is for you!

A titan amongst ships, technologically leaps ahead of her time, she was still a graceful lady ... just armed to the teeth! Allied naval experts during the war classified her as being the best floating gun platform worldwide. The British reacted accordingly: "Sink the Bismarck at all cost!"

Excellent computer animations give insight into how people of the day must have seen the ship: from her maiden voyage, her passing through the Nord-Ostseekanal to her final days in the Atlantic.

However, this documentary also proves that the British covered up the truth for decades, claiming a victory that was not theirs.

This review was written with the deepest honor to the fallen on both sides: the Bismarck and the HMS Hood.
