Poor acting. Poor "action" scenes. Poor quality cinematography. It was almost like watching and listening to a stage performance done in a budget theater. It was actually hard to watch. The bits of history were almost lost with how distracting the rest was, and the o kt reason for 2 stars instead of one. It was only gross fascination that kept us watching.

4.7Plot summary
1864 After a huge battle and the brutal shelling of the population of Atlanta, Federal troops ("Yanks") take control of the city. Their plan is to use all of the goods remaining in the warehouse district of Atlanta to outfit their army for the upcoming March to the Sea, which they hope will end the War Between the States. Confederate spies move into the warehouse district, disguised as Yanks, to take stock of what is still there that might be of use to the army of the north. They find a lot. The word comes down from Confederate command to burn the entire district, destroying vast quantities of goods and uprooting hundreds of families that have been in the area for decades. "The Burning of Atlanta" is the story of the destruction of a major city near the end of the war, and the desperation and terror this causes in the lives of those who watch their entire society collapse around them.

Poor all the way around.

Low production values
Seemed like a re-enactment with a weak story line laid over the top. The acting was a bit wooden, the production values were okay for a re-enactment but well below par for a film, the set were primitive and very limited with the battle for Atlanta being fought by maybe 50 or less troops!
FYI my DVD was titled "1864 The battle of Atlanta - A burning city under siege"

Highly overlooked movie of tremendous historical value!! Top notch musical score, choreography & acting at Oscar worthy level. Should be shown in schools & universities across the country.
