Audience Member It was okay I guess. Some things I liked very much. For example, the recreation of the Monitor and Merrimack were spot on and about as good as they could be given the technology and budgets of the day. And the focus on espionage was a different angle than we're used to seeing in the Civil War era. On the other hand, none of the characters really stuck with you or honestly even seemed that important to the naval plot. A tighter focus on the naval officers in charge would probably have been better. It would also have helped if people seemed to actually get excited about things. When told an indestructible ship is bearing down on them, the crew of the Cumberland take the news remarkably well. I guess this is a problem with all historical miniseries from the '90s, but unfortunately, unlike Gettysburg, the other elements of the film aren't enough to make up for the low energy pacing and acting.
