Technical effects stole from the story

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 1998)

The technical effects of the Normandy Landing, as well as other battle scenes, overshadowed the dialog. Maybe my hearing is not as acute as it could be, but I could not hear much of the spoken dialog amid the shelling, explosions and other noise. If the movie was a display of special effects, it succeeded. If it was to tell a story, it was marginal, in my opinion
