Beyond All Boundaries was good. Another 4-D adventure. If you have been to one, you really have been to them all. But the story is good and makes you proud to be an American, while also making you scared as shite about how society is today haha God forbid we get into a confrontation like that again, would your fellow American be willing to defend lady liberty and our families with their life like our grandfathers did for us? As a 25 year old, I respect the heck out of all vets, but it scares me seeing how spineless our country is becoming. Go and enjoy it! And thank your grandfather for me. His generation was among the greatest in our country's history.

Just to clarify, I love everything about the D-day museum. I just thought the Beyond All Boundaries part would have been better. I hope you and your Pow Pow have a great experience together

The USS Tang let me down more than Beyond All Boundaries.

I have seen the movie three times, but I don't need to do the Tang again.

research the time period. There is more public support for war now than then. The public opposed going into WW2 until 12-7-1945.

Spineless?
Or just not in support of causes that have little to do with our defense.

If our country was attacked, would you be able to take up arms and defend this great country, even if that meant sacrificing ones self? Or would you take to a message board where you spread your biased opinions and bash our country? I'm talking a WWII incident where we are provoked and attacked. I know damn well I would not want you in the foxhole with me Napoleon. And I see lots of morons around today I would not want with me either.

Well worth it. I wish my grandfather was with me to experience the museum. USS Tang has exhibit now also. The most interesting, noteworthy, misunderstood and gruesome parts of the war actually occurred in the pacific theater, therefore I recommend taking more time when walking thru that section. Enjoy the day.

The thing about Beyond All Boundaries is that it's a summary of WWII. It's a GREAT summary, and well worth it, but a 40 minute documentary film that summarizes of WWII is potentially elementary stuff for most history buffs who have catalogued hours and hours of documentary films and just generally know the subject pretty thoroughly.

Having said that in order to properly lower your expectations, the film is very well done and does include enough specifics to keep it very interesting even to history buffs.

Yeah it was about 45 mins. I liked it but my grandpa didn't care for it too much . The museum was awesome! My grandpa fought in France and Germany during WWII and when we came up on those exhibits, some of them would remind him of a story he's forgotten about and he would tell us. I've never been able to get him to open up about the war but when we were in the museum he didn't hold back! It was a great day that I'll never forget.

I would skip "Beyond All Boundaries" and the interactive submarine exhibit. The museum itself is the best.

It's pretty damned cool. Don't waste money on the submarine exhibit.
