Unbelievable Special Effects

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2002)

If you are looking for unreal special effects, no real character development...this is the movie for you.
I had an impossible time telling one guy from another, they all looked the same. The action was intense, the effects were stunning. I will absolutely be buying this one when it comes out on DVD.
The plot was not bad, although it was cool that it was a true story. I am not an American, but as a Canadian I am close enough, it was a very patriotic movie, and one that needed to be told.
Warning possible spoiler:
I was disappointed though, that they never showed what happened to Chief Warrant Officer Mike Durant (Ron Eldard), all they did was say that he got out 11 days later. Now I know that Ridley was attempting to be as realistic as possible, but there was the opportunity to go back and save him. It would have added something, I think.
All in all, a great special effect movie.
