With all the hype that is surrounding this film being nominated for best picture I expected more. Some of the scenes made me question why were they done in that manner. Overall it's a good solid (7) with beautiful scenes and fantastic cinematography. Personally, I could see it getting a couple of nods for some lower level awards at the Oscars, but I do not see this taking home best picture. I would definitely recommend seeing the movie it has the major components of a good war film.
