A feast for the eyes but not the brain

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2020)

Truely a beautiful film for it's visuals and the way it was filmed. In terms of content though I was a bit disappointed. The plot was very weak losely following the 'saving private ryan' theme and there were some 'cheesy' moments with the woman with the baby etc. The beginning and end were very good but the middle just dragged and was a bit painful. I expected more from the hype and expected to be totally gobsmacked as I was with saving private ryan and black hawk down but this doesn't make my top 20 of war films.
