Seems like this would have made a nice hour long PBS special but as a movie it was dull. The comparisons to Kubrick are blasphemous. This could have been a Transformers movie, another masturbatory exercise in special effects. We live in such an era of low expectations. No story here at all, just an excuse for reenactment of a noble part of a war. That's it. Nothing to see here. I was so disappointed.
