Review: Patton was a famous WWI General that has created a mound of controversy, most of which was posthumous.  Known in the army as "Ol' Blood and Guts", Patton had a lust for glory that could sometimes place his troops at danger and override his sense of duty and honor.  He has been referred to as a rogue general at times and was even relieved from duty by Eisenhower.  The 360 series gives us an inside look at Patton's personal accounts, journals and more as we get a complete view of the situations and the battles surrounding WWII!  This show is ground breaking, with their CGI and 360 degree look into the past, it gives a whole new perspective that really hits home.  This series looks amazing in high-definition blu-ray!
