Rating: - Intelligent survey of a fascinating period
Someone authorized a big budget for this History Channel survey of 1000 years of European history. The re-enacting is pretty good most of the time, wisely omitting any dialogue, just action snippets that depict what might have happened during the Dark Ages. There's enough here for a good horror movie. Kids will enjoy this. I did.

- Wonderful overview by History Channel, again

Rating: - Informative and Dynamic Enough to Maintain Interest
This production is a thumbnail sketch (1.5 hours) of the Dark Ages, from the fall of Rome to about 1,000 AD.Overall, I enjoyed it and found it informative.This DVD follows a typical History Channel pattern of breaking up history into meaningful segments and illustrating broad social changes by focusing on specific events and individuals for illustration.

Rating: - educational viewpoint
As a high-school teacher for history and English foundations, I must utilize movies as a visual aide supplement to help them connect with the characters, setting, dialogue... I strongly recommend using this dvd to support your curriculum to teach on all levels of student learning (auditory, kinesthetic, visual).
Rating: - Fun and informative.
Im a netflix girl so I rented this twice because I love history and documentaries so there you go.
