Good but not great

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 1998)

The landing scenes are excellent and seem to make everyone think about the suffering that must have taken place. The rest of the the story is ok but not great, there's nothing there that hasn't been filmed a hundred times already.
Definitely worth watching on a big screen with big sound.
Having said that, I couldn't help thinking that it had many similarities with Starship Troopers. Lots of blood, guts, gore, big guns, evil faceless enemies, team bonding, battlefield documentary photography, landing craft invasions, "tank" busting, and more.
