This one is polarizing.. and I take the south pole

Rating: 3/10 (1 June 1999)

Someone else commented that people either love or hate this movie. I agree that that is the case, except I cannot understand for a millisecond how anyone could love this movie. If you think, based on Fox's marketing prowess, that this is a war movie, you have been lied to. It is a nature documentary. It is bad poetry dubbed over a bunch of second unit stuff. It is literally twice as long as it should be, with a small fraction of that time devoted to a battle scenes.
If you want to see a great war movie that is also cerebral, see Apocalypse Now. This one misses the mark on both points.
