I wanted to go see this but I'll have to wait until it comes out on streaming or BluRay.

I think the main problem is people expect war to be like D&D or a Hollywood film. 90% of the time you are not in combat as a soldier even on the forntlines, the other 10% you are crapping your pants. So any real footage is probably going to look tame compared with a Hollywood film.
Combine that with national mythologies about the war and yeah. Over here its all about Galipoli despite Passchendaele being the battle where we took the most casualties. There is a romantic view of WW1 and its over shadowed by WW2 probaly due to Hollywood and the Americans mostly skipping WW1 except near the end.

It really is an amazing project and I think PJ made excellent decisions on how to focus the archival footage, which includes a lot more, on just the army experience in France. The scary part is the ability to put in the context of these soldiers in a particular shot, captured live on camera, were just about to assault a position and most of them didn’t walk away from it.
