Informative, with well-staged battle recreations...
“Barbarians Rising” is the HISTORY Channel’s four-part miniseries tracing the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The series contains dramatic sequences from the point of view of the enemies who brought Rome down — specifically Hannibal, Spartacus, Arminius, Boudica, and Attila. The Romans referred to them as “barbarians” — savage tribes beyond the fringe of civilization. But they were also fierce warriors who rose up against absolute power to live free or die trying.<br /><br />Action reenactments put the viewer in the midst of battle, showing how the barbarians waged a 700-year fight against oppression. Also included are extensive interviews from authoritative historical experts and contributors.<br /><br />Many movies and TV shows have depicted the Roman Empire as a bastion of civilization in the face of barbarian hordes. This series illustrates the abuses of the Empire on those under its control. Most people have heard of Hannibal, Attila, and Spartacus, but the other leaders aren’t as well known, so it is interesting to learn about the role they played in Rome’s demise.<br /><br />Historical TV shows can be awfully dull, with numerous “talking heads” telling us about significant events and their effect on generations to come. The reenactment technique definitely enlivens what might otherwise have been a bland series. There are still on-screen experts’ commentary, but they almost seem extraneous. Perhaps the series should have been a straight dramatic look at the events, with historians serving as off-screen contributors and advisors.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the unrated 2-disc, widescreen Blu-ray release. A digital HD copy is included.
