I get what the movie is trying to do and I like the idea. I saw the good reviews and decided to go watch it. First thing I noticed is how every soldier is clueless. They aren't scared of the bombs, they aren't worried about leaving as soon as possible at ALL. They just stand there like rangdolls. There is no acting. The movie definitly isn't all bad. The sounds of the bombs, explosions, planes, machine guns. and the music are AMAZING! Now here is something that is really impressive. Even if we know nothing about the characters every death makes an impact and everything that happens makes an impact. I also love that the movie has no reliance on CGI. It has amazing effects that don't look unrealistic or flashy. Good movie, not the best one. Go watch you'll like it.
