Another 'pretty' war film like 1917 that looks great and doesn't offer much more.

No characters to really connect with or much of a reason to care about them. Sure you want them to live but not really anyone in particular. If this was 100 000 penguins being attacked by wolves on the beach and sharks in the water...you would care way more about the penguins than the soldiers we are presented with. Such a waste of such a significant moment in time.
