WWII From Space

About This Movie

WWII From Space is quite the interesting take on the classic war documentary. Simon George’s direction employs some pretty striking CGI to give you this bird’s-eye view of the war that’s, well, a bit different than your usual historical recount. The pacing flows quite nicely, mixing significant battles and events with a broader global perspective that connects the dots in ways you might not have considered before. The atmosphere is immersive, using visuals to draw you in while the narrative does a decent job of maintaining a sense of urgency and gravity. It’s less about individual heroics and more about the overarching conflict, which, in my opinion, gives it a distinctive edge among the countless WWII docs out there.
