This won't be a popular opinion, but I just couldn't get into this movie. I love WWI and WWII movies and documentaries. I just thought this was boring. This is from someone who adores stuffy documentaries. Yes, it had great cinematography, but I felt totally unengaged by it. I don't remember even the first name of the protagonist. The dialogue was too quiet and the rare bits of action were too loud.

Long story short, I didn't care about the characters and I tried liking this film.

I feel like people saw that it was history related and so they just thought they were SUPPOSED to like it. WWI was mostly waiting to die in a trench, but exciting things did happen. Once again, I love documentaries and I also love British movies and TV.
