After sitting there for 3½ hours, the payoff wasn't that great. When it comes to History, they were just playing around the bush. It was great to see such a star cast together on a screen, the de-aging didn't bother me as it Did to some people, but I would have preferred other young actors portraying them. The story is very linear and one dimensional. This was a great opportunity to make another lifetime classic, but I don't see it in that list up there. With this story, it could have ended with 2½ hour run easily! I don't mind lengthy movies, but if the story isn't that compelling, then it's just a bit of a stretch.
