I saw it yesterday too, well worth the trip and an outstanding documentary. Knowing how it was put together, and that the soundtrack was very nearly all actual WWI vets talking about their experiences really contributed to the impact.
My father was born in 1918, and I believe that kept my grandfather out of the war. So although it's been 100 years, it still seems within "reality" for me, not like trying to imagine the Roman empire wars or something similar. I would go watch it again in a theater if it were available.
I believe there are dvds and video streams of it available in Europe already, in the European format, but not yet in the USA. I expect they will show up soon now that the theater dates have passed.
p.s. p.s. And I saw why British dentistry got such a bad rap. Wowser.

Re: "They Shall Not Grow Old"
I just went to the link, and it shows three locations for Hurst Texas, and one of the location has two showings. I didn't check to see if any are sold out.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 8:50 am There’s a local theater listed in Hurst that is supposed to be showing it, but there’s no link to advance purchase tickets on the link that ELB provided ... at least not for that theater.

Make sure you put "Hurst TX", or the zip code, in the search box.

"They Shall Not Grow Old"
This seems interesting enough that I scheduled an afternoon off and grabbed two tickets for the Dec 27 showing in San Antonio. Just in time too, two of the three theaters in SA showing it were already sold out and the third was half gone.
Very limited showings, all appear to be at 1pm on Dec 27 in cities across the US. There were showings yesterday as well, but I didn't know of this until today.

How Peter Jackson Made WWI Footage Seem Astonishingly New
It appears the full video may be in YouTube as well, but from what I'm reading you need to see it in a theater to get its full impact.
As far as I know, you have to get tickets (in the US) from this site: https://www.fathomevents.com/events/the ... t-grow-old
