I admit I only watched the first hour of the movie - I got so bored I decided not to waste any more of my time. I gave it a 3 because of the special effects but the characters and story were non existent - there were soldiers, planes and ships and sailors but nothing to tie them all together - it was like watching a silent film newsreel. Not sure how it got an 8.0 overall rating in the range of Star Wars and Titanic - by comparison it was an awful movie.
