Mindblowing!

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2001)

This is one of the best war movies I've ever seen! Perfect as a sequel to Das Boot, Stalingrad depicts the titanic clash between the third reich and the soviet union at Stalingrad from the perspective of the men fighting. While the vast Russian steppes is a great contrast to Das Boot's claustrophobic settings, the outcome is no less tragic, which I guess would be the central theme to this movie. That war has no winners, as the supercomputer learned in Wargames. Now if they'd only make one about the Luftwaffe, it'll be a trilogy.
