The thin tedious film - Jonathan Livingston Seagull goes to war..

Rating: 1/10 (18 January 1999)

This is a movie that is a mess. About the best that can be said about it is that some of the scenery is spectacular. As I sat through this incredibly ponderous exercise (it is almost 3 hours), I was amazed at the confused and incessant voice-overs, the extremely thin characterizations, the blatantly sentimental juxtaposition of native vs. combat life. The point of view shots as the soldiers advanced were somewhat interesting, but this film was probably ninety minutes too long.
