The first 30 seconds was cinematic genius to introduce this movie, the other 25 minutes I sat through was insanely boring. The dialog was ok, the acting fine, but it felt serious, cold, and emotionless. Nothing exciting was happening, and I wasn't enthralled enough with what was going on to care whatsoever. This is a subject I know a fair bit about, and something I am interested in, and yet recognizing references and historical tie ins could not save this movie for me. No way I was going to waste another 2hours+ on this insanely long and insanely boring movie. Sure I didn't see the whole thing, but it did a terrible job engaging me, and burned 15 dollars from my pocket.
