The graphics are great, but the script is weak.

Having the romance angle is fine, such times do indeed take a toll on relationships. But one of the most pivital times of the modern era seems to take a backseat to this exagerated and predictable love triangle. When you had tears in your eyes, and I did, you also feel like you are being manipulated rather than feeling empathy for someone you have come to care about, to think of as real. The agony of war is not due to the extreme soap operas of the beautiful people that it creates, but the swath it cuts through every day ordinary folks, who feel the loss of their loved ones just as much. I would have liked to see much more focus on the shuffleing of power in the governments of both sides and the intel-crypto rooms of both sides etc. Regarding the Computer Graphics, its good. It still has a generated feel in some of the panaromic battle scenes, but the smaller shots where they are mixing real life and CG etc are really well done. (the flight path of the zeros coming in on the deck over the valleys seems a bit eratic, but...).
