Beautiful and deep but also long and overrated

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2019)

The movie revolves around american soldiers fighting at Guadalcanal in WWII. It follows their inner demons and thoughts during this bloody unnceccesary war.
The movie is very beautiful and deep. The shots of the nature in this movie is just amazing. The movie is actually an antiwar action drama (emphasis on drama) because it tries to show us the beauties of life and how these human wars only ruin and degrade life and everything nature built. However, in my opinion, the movie is overrated. First off, it is extremly long and the pacing of the movie isn't that good. Also there are too many plots in the movie and you may have a problem grasping the whole story and the bigger picture. For these reasons Malick's magnum opus recieves a 5 star rating.
